Advice on microdosing
#21840385 - 06/22/15 01:52 AM (8 years, 7 months ago) |

I'm curious about microdosing. I've read a couple of articles about it and I'm keen on giving it a try but I've got a couple of questions. Has anyone tried microdosing with psilocybe subauruginosa? How much would be considered a microdose in dry weight?
I understand the concept of subconscious effects, but would any effects such as reality distortion be noticed?
Would it still be safe to perform daily tasks such as working, driving, interacting with sober people?
How often would it be best to microdose and should it just be done on an ongoing basis or is the idea to dose for a period of days/weeks then cease?
Thanks

I don't see the point really. I would recommend doing a normal dose once every 2-3 months for the positive and health effects.
Micro dosing would be around 0.3 grams or 0.4 grams. You wouldn't be able to do it every day because of tolerance. You could do it once a week or every 2 weeks at a micro dose. But i doubt you would get anywhere near as much of the positive effects of letting yourself experience the whole thing.

I'm curious, is microdosing with anything ever a good idea? If it is, what's the best thing to use and what's the effect?

Microdosing can be very effective. I wrote a bit of a log and posted it here a few weeks back. I plan to continue my diary but had a few doses that produced effects beyond that of microdosing so i'm going to lay off for a few more days.

You can microdose (true microdose) daily without huge tolerance build up. A 3.5 gives you tolerance after repeated use, a .2 or .3 at most for your micro dose won't. I've done .25 twice a day for a month, scheduled, with EXCELLENT effects far surpassing any pharmaceuticals. Biggest advice is don't over do it. Its easy for your .2 to become a gram after you're like "man, this micro has me in a goooood mood, might as well have some more" and before you know it you ate 2 grams over the course of a day

I suggest dosing no more than .2g of p.sub. Every other day or less than every other day. Why do you want to experiment with microdosing?

The concept sounds interesting, some reports suggesting a similar, but longer lasting effect to coffee, increased energy and concentration. I'm curious to see how it effects me but just want to know the risks/side effects and whether things like driving or working would be negatively affected in any way.

coffee sucks. All it does is taste good, haha. I think at less than 0.4 grams the most you would be likely to feel would be a spacey feeling but hardly noticeable. It depends though, Psilocybe subaeruginosa are very potent. And tolerance is strange with mushrooms, it seems like when your body gets to know them it need's less not more.

Coffee sucks once you are tolerant, which I am. I have to "detox" every few months to really enjoy it. Anyway, I tried a microdose of 0.1 (or thereabouts, my scales aren't that sensitive) and could definitely feel...something. It wasn't a strong feeling but it was there. I also got the subtly heightened enjoyment of music and enhancement of colours. I reckon I might try the J Fadiman study of 1 day on 2 off, which I emailed him about last night and received all the forms for this morning. So now I can say to anyone with a straight face that I am doing drugs for science.

I know I'm late to the party, but feel like others who may find this thread as a google search result could benefit from the info.
I had first tried a 0.3g 'microdose' of subaeruginosa about 2 months ago. Needless to say, the 0.3 recommended dose someone above had recommended was way too much. At that level, I felt a level of discomfort. At the time, I had not linked it with the microdose and thought it was a result of muscle tightness and a few knots I had in my back.
Shortly after, that turned into higher sense of irritability and sever tension in my forearms.
It's worth noting that due to training at the gym, these areas were already slightly tense - the sensation was amplified greatly.
Realising I had ingested a quantity greater than what was considered a microdose, despite the recommendation above, I thought I'd give it another go two days ago. This time, at a modest 0.045g.
Needless to say, I found the benefits incredibly beneficial. The sense of anxiety and pressure I had been feeling over the weeks due to my work had diminished. After about an hour and a half after ingesting. I thought I'd clean up the dogs area in the backyard. The orange overtone of the sky above as the sun was setting gave a sense of reflection over things I had been worrying about a little too much. I felt like I understood why I was pressuring myself as I continued to clean.
At the same time, I began to notice I was seeing nature much clearer and in high resolution (I have a low dose for my short distance glasses). The leaves were so green, the cool wind was incredibly soothing. The yellow overcast has transitioned into more of a blue scale, which to me symbolised 'everything will be ok' and 'you're doing great'. Perhaps the 0.045g was too high a dose? Would love to have someone's feedback on this.
I was super productive returning to my work and the effects have carried on for the following few days. Next dose, I'll attempt a slightly lower and higher amount and report on the experience.
I do have a very low tolerance for those not aware, the subaeringosa strain are quite potent. My recommendation would be to start at a modest amount and report your experience so you can then find an amount that suits you - everyone is different.
This is the second time attempting a microdose and would lose for anyone's feedback.

Long time lurker first time poster...Male mid 40's 180cm 100kg good diet rare Ganja Smoker, roughly 10 self rolled cigarettes per day.
I was introduced into mushrooms 21 years ago and in my region I have only 1 choice which is Pcylicybe Subaregenosa and up until recent times I had only had careful, controlled by the gram pcychadellic experiences.
This year I took a different route and have started microdosing.
I dont do it by weight, I take 1 whole shroom about once a week with no set plan or day or time.
I am now 9 weeks in and beyond anything else, the effect on my breathing, sinuses and oxygen levels are radical to say the least!
The Experience
The first one I took was fresh picked and quite small, within 20mins my visual perception was heightened and for the rest of the day I noticed my sinuses were clearer and my breathing more controlled. I felt slightly agitated, a bit dark mentally and quite introspective which was a very subtle but noticeable. This lasted 3 days but progressively declined and was gone by day 4. My depth of sleep and ability to drop of quickly also improved.
The next one I had dry and had almost exactly the same effects but I noticed a strong increase in my focus on conversation and the ability to retain information being vocalized. Also a strong improvement in my written work, quoting and emailing. Heightened perspective vision was very noticeable carrys on for a few days but now, as a person who has always had at least one nostril blocked 24/7 my sinuses were free of all constriction 24/7. My breathing excellent and I'm not sure if all of the above is now working better because I'm better oxygenated.
As I progressed through the weeks the initial agitation is now gone, my sinuses are clear always which is the most phenomenal thing if you have the same issue, my sleep is very deep and rarely wake up at night. Normal subtle aches and pains I had are not noticable, I'm eating less, am attracted to different foods and losing weight. I had a couple of warts on my hands that have been with me for 10 or more years that have almost gone which was totally unexpected. I have always had a fantastic sexual relationship with my amazing wife of 19 years and on my first few I noticed a lower labido due to that inner agitation but this has since passed. I have always been a positive person and try and see the karma, for loss of a better word, in all things and definitely feel a heightened ke li of happiness on a daily basis.
Now ready for my 10th microdose and have neither plans to stop or continue, just cruising along.
If you have sinus, sleep or depression issues, I would highly recommend trying this method. It may not be what you are supposed to do or the right dose according to some people but it gives me the desired outcome and I am super happy with the results.

Not sure how potent those are compared to cubes.
I've microdosed a lot with great benefit.
Start small and see how you react and find the right dose for your desired effect.
Lsd works well too.
When and how often is up to you.
I would generally do it about twice a week on days I had a lot going on and extra stressors like long days at work.
But I've also done it everyday one month save for about one day. Also was tripping on high doses during that month.
Find the amount that's right for you then use st your discretion
A high dose alone at night in the dark with relaxing music without lyrics and candles and incense or whatever may do you some good as well
