First time microdoser tips

Hello. What would be a good first time microdose amount for someone who has absolutely no tolerance at all to drugs (not even smoked weed)? And with that dose, what should be expected. Also I would love if you shared testimonials. Thanks.

Depending on the type of person you are and what you think you can handle, about a gram of cubes sounds like a good microdose. Maybe even lower than that if you want to be on the cautious side.

Huh, thank you. I have heard that .3-.5 is the most you should take but I'm not sure

You know yourself better than anyone on this forum. In my opinion and experience (which is limited), less than half a gram will be barely noticeable and underwhelming. 1 Gram I think would definitely be noticeable with a great mood lift, train of thought, and slight visuals if you're lucky/sensitive. But go with what you think you can handle.

staytrippy25411, you aren't planning on eating the mushrooms that are in your 'picture gallery' are you? (the white mushrooms)

No no. I know those aren't psilocybin, I just posted those to prove a point

To prove a point? I'm guessing you were getting them ID'ed for a friend or something. If you're ever unsure of wether a mushroom is active or not head over to the 'Mushroom Hunting and Identification' spot.
I'm not going to tell you how little or how much mushrooms to ingest specifically but I would consider a .5 a microdose amount. You won't get any visuals but maybe some mental clarity. With that being said though, It is a good decision for you not to take too much your first time. Just like how a doctor would never prescribe someone medication a high dosage to begin with if they've never taken the drug. Stay safe.

1 gram would be a low dose, not a micro-dose. A microdose should be a sub-threshold dose-- meaning it should be barely noticable if it is noticable at all.
First you should determine what your threshold dose is. This is the lowest amount you can take where you notice obvious effects.
For me 0.4g is a threshold dose. So, on the rare occasions that I microdose I take a sub-threshold dose of about 0.25g.

When I started dosing, I too wanted to microdose to see how sensitive I was to psilocybin. I took a .15 just to test out my first successful grow, wasn't expecting much tbh.
Got a good mood lift with an awesome body high during the first hour. It wore off in like 4 hours.
Overall, it was a pretty good mini trip with lots of mental stimulation. I could have easily taken it at a party and been totally fine to socialize and hang out.
It really goes to show how variable MS grows can be, it will vary from mushie to mushie. Guess I picked the strong one

I would have to agree with theshrumnub that 1g is a good base dose to see how you will feel. I would start there because there is very little risk of you having any real bad adverse effects, or being overwhelmed, while still enough as to let you understand how you are going to feel under the influence of shrooms.
If I were you I wouldnt start at .5g mainly because i doubt that you will feel anything, especially considering you will not know what to look for exactly. After knowing how they will make you feel from a dose that has a better chance to be felt, you will probably be able to take more out of micro dosing half a gram.
If you just want to test for allergies or you are just nervous then by all means just take .5g and add more as needed. It would help if you could tell us if you plan to only take micro doses, or if your just trying to ease yourself into eventually tripping harder.

Well I'm kind of in between trying to get experience. But also just trying to microdose for stimulation, like maybe before school. So I think I'm going to start at 0.5 or less,because I agree with the importance of first finding a threshold

Don't do mushrooms, whatever amount, before school... that is just downright irresponsible dude.

Yeah, I am totally on board with you, don't worry I am bothered by people who just do it like that to, it's sort of disrespectful. But I just heard that it is what a lot of people do down on the sillicon valley, because it really helps with attentiveness, and other things. And that is at jus a .2 or .3 dose... Have you hear otherwise? I am open to all ideas

You say you want to take mushrooms before school, then contradict yourself by saying anyone who does is disrespectful? Pick a side man.

@theshrumnub yea I do think that people who try and have a full psychedelic experience during school are disrespectful, but I think there is a difference between that, and a microdose. One should be treated with more respect than the other. I do not mean to sound contradictory. But that is why I am asking your guys opinion because from one side, I have heard that very successful people will microdose, before work and it has reaped large benefits. So I am curious as to what you guys thought.... That's all

I've microdosed before lecture in some of my classes. When it is a class that I am interested in it helps with attentiveness and thinking about the subject matter conceptually. If it is a class that I am not interested in I tend to day dream and doodle instead of taking notes. I see no problem with it provided you are a resonsible adult, and you have dialed in a dosage that works for you.

Fair enough. I probably responded in an aggressive manner so my apologies. I wouldn't recommend microdosing before a class for your first time considering you don't know how you'll react specifically to the substance. I feel like it'd be a waste, but that's just me. After you've done it some times by all means go for it, I just wouldn't want to dip into my first psychedelic experience surrounded by people and responsibility, no matter how low the dose. It probably wouldn't be a big deal, I just wouldn't take the chance personally and waste it.

Yeah man, I totally agree. I could definitely see how it would be a waste. Thank you for your insight!

If I was going to attempt a long term micro-dosing experiment, I would start with 100mg, once per day. If I was just going to try it once for a boost of energy/clarity, I would try 400-500mg.
You could probably read all the info on micro-dosing on the internet in one day. I would just start low and and see if you notice anything after a few days or a week.

My apologies if I came off as a dousche. I'm looking out for your safety and such. I just really don't think taking mushrooms-or any drugs for that matter, is a safe or responsible decision. Not only that but personally I think going to school on mushrooms would be a waste of a possibly good first time experience. Since it is your first time ingesting a psychedelic substance wouldn't you want to make it as memorable as possible? Just my two cents-I'm not saying there is only one way to trip or enjoy the psychedelic experience. The psychedelic experience is really what you make of it. One of the most important things to remember when tripping is you have to have a good frame of mind and a good setting. Set and setting are two key components in having a good psychedelic experience. Be safe staytrippy25411.

Dr. James Fadiman is running a study on mushroom microdosing.
I believe he recommends .2g once every 3 days.
Or .15g twice (morning and afternoon) during the "on" day, but still leaving two days off in between.
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.

1 gram is way too much for a microdose if you're just starting out and don't know what to expect
People have different tolerances and respond very differently to specific dosages.
For me, 1 gram is a past threshold level trip and way too much to be considered a microdose.
.5 grams is still enough to have me feeling the effects too strongly for me to really consider it a microdose. Its a low level dose for sure, but not what I would consider a microdose for myself.
.2 grams or under is what I personally would take for a microdose where I will be going out into public and going about my normal day, going to work, etc.
Start very low. Its better to be underwhelmed than overwhelmed when you're not prepared to be at threshold or past it.
