Microdosing Mushrooms

What is Microdosing?

Consuming one-tenth of the usual recreational dose or 0.1-0.3 grams of dried Magic Mushrooms, then it is called Microdosing. The amount of consumption may vary from person to person as it is all about keeping it subtle. As long as your consciousness or hallucinating is not altered due to its intake, you are microdosing.

Most Common Experience

The most common experiences are enhanced mood, concentration, cognitive ability, euphoric or connected feelings. Daily users tend to feel calm and happy after consuming a small dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. Furthermore, they amplify the feeling of optimism, an improved outlook, appreciation, and reduced depression with microdosing.

Some microdosers claim that they can concentrate better, and experience mindfulness because of its psychedelic nature. They also think it enhances their creativity, causes perspective-shifting, and induces curiosity in them. They find themselves being more confident, more productive, and more functional and less neurotic when they microdose magic mushrooms on a regular basis.

Social Stigma

There is an absurd amount of legal substances in our daily lives that encourage severe addiction and deteriorate our health including alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, social media, etc. Many people die from excessive consumption of alcohol, suffer from cancer due to smoking, become obese due to the hyper-consumption of fast food. And how can we forget social media addiction? It has become the leading reason behind the severe depression but still, we overlook all these harmful effects and accept them whole-heartedly. We spend our hard-earned money on all these things gracefully without thinking twice. But when it comes to psychedelics, all of a sudden everyone becomes superconscious and starts lecturing about how it ruins our life. Isn’t it insane that the things that are truly bad for our overall health are completely acceptable while things that actually improve our mental and physical state are considered to be illegal or unacceptable?

It’s okay to be skeptical, it’s okay if you don’t want any kind of psychedelic experience, but before making any random statement about psychedelics being bad, do some thorough research, and then come up with your own conclusions. 

How to Microdose with Magic Mushrooms or Psilocybin?

Microdosing is a simple process where you have to prepare your microdose, and take them at the proper interval of time. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. You will have a hard time determining how much psilocybin is in each particular mushroom. The quality of the mushroom, its type, where they were grown, how they were grown may affect its psilocybin content. Therefore, you must start your session with a small amount.

First of all, dry a batch of mushroom, grind them into a powder and fill it up into empty capsules. That way you will be able to maintain even distribution and preserve its taste. For your starter dose, you can use 0.1 gram and analyze its effects on your body. Then, you can slowly adjust your dose with time but as soon as you start getting the hint of a psilocybin trip, stop right there and take a moment to note down the exact amount it took to give you a notable trip. This will help you estimate the right amount of dose you require to enjoy a magic mushroom without experiencing any intense trip.

Once you figure out the right amount, it’s time to determine the right time to use it. Most people feel morning is the best time as they can experience its lasting effect throughout the day. But you should take a day off from your work and social life when you microdose for the first time so that you can take proper notice of any unusual effects. Once you become comfortable with its mild effects, you can start microdosing regularly for four days and stop its intake for three days to avoid building up a tolerance. Always follow this pattern, use it for four days, and then take three days off. You must maintain a proper gap between its intake to stop your body from producing tolerance to psilocybin.
