It's also a great use for those old shrooms you forgot about that have probably gone mostly inactive and "stale"

Yeah, I also think that is a mistake. 50-75 MILLIgrams of Mescaline HCl sound more like it. I guess one milligram wouldn't even get past metabolism.

some anecdotal evidence from today's microdose.. quoted from my (real life) journal
10-14 .15g in tea Slight stoned and euphoric feel. Good for music + general enjoyment. Easier to lose focus but also easier to become lost in focus 
Feels nice with some smoke but might try .10 next time. Still trying to figure out if I want every day or every other, will see how I feel mentally throughout tomorrow. Saw a post somewhere mentioning dosing twice a day like coffee with ZERO tolerance?? Are these doses small enough for tolerance to be completely wiped every day or two?

I experimented with daily microdosing a few months back. Started with about .3 grams on a sunday while running around town. While driving i felt it come on and particularly noticeable with the music playing. A bit euphoric but was also immediately apparent that it was going to be a bit stronger than i was shooting for. Was able to complete my errands without much problem but the whole time I felt a bit of that anxious come up energy and confused my headspace enough to be somewhat uncomfortable in public.
Tried the next days at work with a little less, maybe .2 and while it did keep me stimulated was still a little too confused in my headspace at times, almost that swimming feeling except just a hint.
Need to try it again with maybe .1 or. 15
LSD was pretty good for microdose, nice clean mental space with lots of focus... not sure on how much I was dosing with LSD tho as I was just clipping slivers from 100ug tabs
Would definitely recommend microdosing either for working on personal projects or if you are lucky enough to work on something you love for a living, but would recommend being very conservative in typical employment or similar situations

With psychedelics quick tolerance gain how does microdosing actually work? Is it possible its just placebo?

I think tolerance is thought to not work quite the same with such small doses, plus it is usually recommended to have an off day every couple days.
In my own experience it definitely was not placebo. I'm well familiar with the psychedelic state specifically from mushrooms and it was definitely the mushrooms. But I didn't continue for longer than a few days at once.

Also keep in mind that its not meant to even be felt as a trip, so the beneficial effects may not necessarily be altered by tolerance so far as tripping goes.

I see. Yeah I definitely understand that its not supposed to be anything close to a trip if even feeling high but I thought tolerance would work the same regardless the dose.

Interesting article...but, almost every example they used was with LSD...I would think mushrooms may have some different unwanted effects...like mild confusion.?
IDK...I work for myself , been tossing around whether to give microdosing mushrooms a try....for science.

Yeah, like I mentioned in my post, that was my main problem with microdosing mushrooms so far but still need to try lowering the dose to see if it helps.
