Take 2g, I've tried microdosing on dried truffles and 2g is a perfectly fine dose, maybe go a tiny bit smaller, because I did space out once in a while because the tables wooden pattern was kinda interesting, it moved ever so slightly when staring at it

Anything above 0.5g is not microdosing, that's kinda the whole point of MICRO-DOSING.
You're not supposed to get any psychedelic effects from it, it's a minute dose to give a clearer sense of self and an overall calmer mindset for day to day activities.
The active ingredient in magic mushrooms is psilocin which mimics the pathways of the neurotransmitter serotonin, this means that microdosing is essentially taking a boost of neurotransmitters.
As some people take caffeine or alcohol to get them through the day, some people choose a shot of serotonin in the morning to get them going.

Nobody consistently microdoses for any length of time. I've tried - there's something about it that makes it very easy to wake up one day and say - screw this. Once in a while, hell yeah - but consistently - good luck. This forum is filled with threads that were started by an enthusiastic person who plans to microdose and keep a log of it.. and they always disappear.

I took my 0.25 microdose last night and will do so again in 3 days. Along with vitamins and exercise it really seems to help with mood and energy.

I just took .4 of mushies to see if it would work I took .2 about 7 days ago and it seemed like an effective microdose I'm just trying to find a sweet spot, i also wanna try to add in 1/8th tab of 1plsd to see if that enhances the microdose

Anything above .2-.3 makes me feel kind of weird. Also I would advise picking one substance and sticking to a regular dose at regular intervals to really get the full effects of microdosing.

Il gonna do the try now of .2 .3 of GT every 2-3 days.
What can you gain of it ? Is that a level 1 trip. I used the trip calculator and level 1 is 0.7:
Do you fade away from reality with microdosing?

You can focus more on the present and have a clearer mindset.
Essentially the 'white noise' of the subconscious becomes inhibited slightly. Seeing as psilocin is an antagonist that acts to inhibit the sympathetic nervous system and stimulate the Central Nervous System.

It helps with my anxiety, my wife's occasional depression, it's almost stimulating like a psychedelic coffee, it makes me focus better and be more in the moment which is nice for meditation. It also just helps with overall mood boost and creativity.

I'm very sensitive to any substances, so I like microdosing, and my favourite microdose is .1g Here are some tips based only on my own experience
TIP#1 With microdosing, set&setting is also important. Do it in a good environment in a good mood with people you like. An unpleasant situation wouldn't be a disaster, but it'd be... unpleasant.
TIP#2 Dose matters. On a microdose, you shouldn't experience any kind of this specific "mindfuckish" pressure that people often feel in trips. Mushrooms shouldn't interfere with your regular activity. If you notice that, eat even less mushrooms.
TIP#3 In my experience, it's better to take your microdose with moderate amount of food. Then it acts slower but softer and longer.
TIP#4 If you start feeling adverse effects like sleep problems, anxiety etc, take a break for 2-3 days.
TIP#5 In my experience, marijuana sometimes can turn a micro-trip into a real trip. Better be careful with that. Have you tried microdosing marijuana, by the way?
Hope this helps

Interesting you bring up microdosing marijuana as that is the only way I enjoy it. I put the tiniest amount of weed for what most people would consider as a quarter of an actual hit fronm a bowl leoper. It's just enough to enhance me without getting me high. It's a real tightrope but I highly enjoy it.

Regarding waking up one day and "screw this".....Why?
Because you don't feel any benefit? Or because of undesirable side effects? Or causing tolerance for those times you want to really trip? Or ???????

IMHO, when you micro-trip every day, your mind becomes more open and same dose feels stronger. You have to resist it's action and get tired. Regular microdose should be less than one-time microdose. Something barely-barely noticeable.
If your microdose is 0.25g, then regular microdose would be something like 0.15.
My longest microdosing period was like two weeks, and I had a great time. But I used tiny doses, even less than 0.1g, just a little bit better than placebo =)

I used to take .5 grams of shrooms every 3 days until I ran out of shrooms. My vision was improved, my coordination was improved and my mood was elevated. It was like feeling euphoric, but having full control over your body. You get a little "peak" but nothing to serious to handle. You'll probably notice yourself smiling randomly, or just feeling happier.
.5g is actually not a microdose (found out later on after my experimenting ended) but for me it was a perfect dose when it was time to take them. Its important to space your doses out a few days to give yourself time to reflect on your day. Believe it or not, you will get a bit introspective even on small doses.
Just find the best dosage for yourself. also I'm pretty sure sclerotia are 2/3 as potent as dried cubes, so as a rough estimate: 5g fresh sclerotia = 10g fresh Cubensis = 1.66 dried sclerotia = 1g dried Cubensis.

I stopped microdosing after about 10 weeks. I experimented with 0.2 every 3rd day, 0.2 every other day, 0.1 every day, then settled on 0.1 every night, with one night off each week, for the last month. The daytime doses made me feel sort of spacey and "off" so I switch to dosing just before bed. That helped, but ultimately I didn't feel like I was getting any real benefit from it. I may revisit microdosing in the future but for now I'm going to take a break and maybe try some higher doses again.

For me it was the realization that the microdose distracted me and made me less confident. It put me in a type of fog, unable to focus on being productive. Once in a while is good but every day isn't.
