YES!!! Cannabis and Mushrooms are both Adaptogens, so they work synergistically together. I have been using them together for five years on my rescue farm (dogs, chickens, pigs, geese, bunnies)

I harvested Ganoderma Tsugae in my NC mountain home this Summer and just harvested wild Lucidium in Kenya where I live most of the year. I was shocked to see it here in Nairobi! It is very abundant here!

When Covid started I had a lot of spare time to learn new hobby’s. I learned how to grow medical mushrooms like lions mane, reishi and turkey tail on wood blocks. Dr. Christopher Hobbs has an amazing book on medicinal mushrooms loaded with information and instructions on making extract powder. I have mason jars filled with various mushroom powders and put 1 gram of powder in my coffee everyday remembering to take a week off every couple weeks. I’m truly amazed at the difference reishi has made on my stress. I feel calmer, and just feel better mentally. I’m thankful for you guys getting this information out there.

Turkey tail mushroom also pretty good.
