Microdosing wood lovers and other wild actives
    #23904885 - 12/07/16 07:47 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Hi,

    So it's been awhile since I consumed any high doses.  I have had pretty bad depression for the past year.  The last 3 weeks I started a microdose experiment.  Every 3-4 nights just before bed I have been eating half of a mushroom more or less.  Very scientific I know.  Any way I started with just a tiny amount of cyans and a nibble here and there of azures. 

    I noticed after the first night my daily negative mind thought loop had lost its edge.  Things seem to just flow and my daily routine just feels better.  My negative thoughts return sometimes, but now I can easily dismiss them.  I'm curious of local hunters or anyone else who has tried this.  I would post this in another forum; but I really would like feed back from the guys in the field, and from people who frequent MH&I.

    Please post any experience's positive or negative. If there are any hunters who have not tripped in awhile and are experiencing depression to please consider microdosing for a couple of weeks.  I've read that most people microdose in the A.M..  For whatever reason I feel taking them at night makes the most sense.  I've had small doses at work and the slight mindfuck that happens occasionally, can add to my stress.

I would post actual dose by weight but that might be against the rules.

vIn 1962, a six-year-old girl in Oregon experienced a high fever and seizure after eating mushrooms which were later supposedly identified as Psilocybe cyanescens; she died three days after being hospitalized.[4] Similar cases in children (not resulting in death) have been reported in San Francisco.[4] Despite these incidents, the mushroom is not generally regarded as being physically dangerous to adults.[5] Since all the psychoactive compounds in P. cyanescens are water-soluble, the fruiting bodies can be rendered non-psychoactive through parboiling, allowing their culinary use. However, since most people find them overly bitter and they are too small to have great nutritive value, this is not frequently done.

I used to micro dose in college quite a bit. Before I even knew it was a thing. We would pop a few cyans and bike to the beach. Never really noticed a change in overall mood then but boy do I now. I prefer larger doses less frequently but I do think micro dosing works wonders. With wood lovers it's tough to tell how potent each mushroom is. I've gotten way higher than expected, luckily I was at home. I'll micro dose at concerts sometimes too. Fully tripping at a show is doable for me but a micro dose is much more manageable.

was just looking at a cap thinking i could nibble this but its too late

then i see this thread

I've tried microdosing during the am
- some days it works great but some days it can go against what you wanted to achieve

I think doing it at night just as you say makes so much sense

how i micro is that i dont weigh.. (its different for everyone)
i nibble a quarter to a half cap of cyan and a bit of stem and im right there -
keepin moar nearby during the day just in case i need a bit of leveling ^

i do notice with ovoids i can micro all day long and feel good
cyans are a bit more potent and i have to dial them in correctly going slow

:mushroom2:  i will deff try this 'at night' microdose out and report back:thumbup:

Thanks for the insight Hunter Hunter

:peace:

edit - i just took a micro of cyan :biggrin: cee ya tomorrow

I need to start a micro dose regiment bad. Ive been so Angry/Depressed shitty  attitude towards everything. I think night is best as well. Ive been nervous of the potency and work issues. Ive been thinking of this for some time. I just can't seem to motivate to start.

I've also been thinking about doing the same for the same reasons. I will report back when I do.

GOOD Morning!! :awesomenod:

I feeel GREAT!!
fell right to sleep (no insomnia)
then must of got some deep sleep - woke up and wasn't fatigued
i feel good- my brain isn't hella foggy- feels more in tune and focused - introvertism gone (for a while)
im not angry or depressed I'm on the up:thumbup:


I did half a cap of cyan bout an hour before i hit the sack
i did feel it kicking in slightly

i think that's why we try it during the day - because we want to feel some effect

i think the good effects come after the dose (next day)
sure when im on a low dose i can function and be less introverted
but its the next day that the effects of the mushroom are really making a positive change in my mood

it lasts a few days and then there is a low point i feel and come to
i really dont want to take more mushroom to feel better
so i give it few weeks or month to clean out my system and then the cycle begins

I will see how i feel tonight maybe repeat dose or smaller??
ill report back

YO nothingschanged try a small amount right before bedtime an see how it works??
like i said its not when ur on them
i think the after effects is what lifts the mood.

Take care everyone

:peace:

Cool thanks for trying it out.  I noticed the first week that I started dreaming again.  Very real vivid dreams which helped me work out and see things about my life.  I noticed that I'm waking up earlier and refreshed.  I was about to say I haven't been dreaming lately, but I just remembered some of my dream from last night. 

G3tblunt.  Glad to meet you.  Welcome to MH&I mushroom hunting and identification. 


@ RanD, nothingschanged, well everyone that wants to contribute. 
    I'm very interested in your input.  We should be the people pioneering this research.  It would be nice to have some scientifically minded people to do a nice write up of their experience. 

  I've been ready for a good trip but time and other weird mental blocks have kept me away.  Also for whatever reason it took me awhile to start microdosing.  I wasn't very serious so I tried it randomly with varying doses.  When Ive been drinking and its late I tend to eat more. 

  Try this for a few weeks.  I think some people have the pill popping mindset in such that they think these need to be taken daily, and possibly feel the need to experience the effects.  These are strong medicine.  I think at least once a week could be beneficial.  I've read that people tend to go back to their depressed state a few weeks after quitting, but I'm curious if it is as bad as before the experience.

Please post the type of mushroom and if you do it in the morning or evening.

Well shoot.  After I get the wood stacked and house squared away for the blizzard I'm popping a cap.

it works or helps at the least, i've been microdosing for like a year now.

i usually take a small portion of a stem every day from between 7pm to 12pm. (allenii cyan ovoids)

Ok, i did my first dose. Ive been wanting to Eat my regular amount for some time now. It's been since last new years if i am not mistaken. I feel this is very important. I Have no problem holding off.
    My scale doesn't register under 0.1 I just ate 1 cyan cap weighing less than 0.1 probably right around .08?

Thank you for the motivation to get started. It's strange. I instantly got a nervous feeling in my stomach upon ingestion.

Nice NC :thumbup:


I have had a clear head all day - and energy to get through
began to relax after some dinner and bong hitz

had a chill evening no aches or pains like i had last night with that clarity..

I'm going to take another half cap now and probably be in bed by midnight
i shall report back tomorrow

Question about tolerance and also how long should one micro??
- a week then a week off? something like that?

in my research people mention such things
but I would luv all your input on this one

Nighty Nite

:peace:

When I was researching A.muscaria I read one way to deal with inconsistent dosage is to grind them all up together. 
This will more-or-less homogenize whatever volume/weight you wanted to take.

Although now that I consider it, I wonder if it would make them stale faster due to increased surface.

Day 1. was easier to get up.(Even though I slept in) 

I mix my stash at the end of the season to keep potency consistent.

- doing the dose before bedtime was very enlightening

Every day my mind felt clearer
I had motivation no anxiety or hatred
no aches n pains like i usually have
& at night i was able to fall asleep quicker than normal 
(i tend to lay in bed for hours it seems before i pass out)

the clarity and motivation lasted all day till about 9 or 10ish then i felt tired and should of went to bed to get my circadian rhythm back but
i still had chores -
maybe i should of md'd then and not at 11:30 - but i wanted to stay consistant

I did about half a cap of cyan 3 nights in a row and nothing last night -
i feel a bit tired today but i still have a clear head and body:thumbup:

dont know when i will try again - maybe this week? i want to see how i feel and how long it lasts - and maybe even do less a dose??

But doing it at night
and a very small dose definitely helped me out

Thanks for the insight HunterHunter

so NothingsChanged... how ya feelin? :biggrin: did it help out some?

I hope it did
and i hope others will write about their experiences as well

:peace:
