I discovered what the problem was. My scale doesn’t register small increments well, so my original measurement was somewhat off. The dose could have been more like 0.5g and since I made tea the effect was stronger.
I learned to work with the scale and have tried microdosing with actual 0.2g doses. I got slight tingling and warm sensations in my body and overall felt more sensitive and ‘raw’. This didn’t really help with my anxieties but made them more noticeable.
I’ve had two larger dose experiences recently, trip reports here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24155518

Get a functional scale, its worth it. Otherwise you'll never know how much your taking, especially with those miniscule doses.

go to your local headshop and get one that does 100ths of gram (0.00) should only be about 40 bones

Have you taken a larger dose yet? I don't know if microdosing is valuable to someone who's never gone deep...
Maybe I'm way off, but I always feel like my microdosing just brings out the positives from my previous real dose. When I haven't taken a good dose in a long while microdosing just makes me jittery and anxious.
Last weekend I was going to take a nice big fat 5 plus gram dose but shit came up and I couldn't, do I figured I would just take a microdose for some uplifting effects I usually get. More energy, helps with my stiff back and makes me a bit more extroverted. Did all the opposite. Which only seems to happen when it's been a long time since my last real go.... So tonight. Adios amigos!

Oh and agreed that you should definitely buy a good scale and for the love of God buy a test weight. Lol don't be judging your dose increments on a scale you're not testing regularly... Especial if you're g to achieve some level of therapy from what you're doing.

My first largish dose experiences here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24155518
They were 1.5g and 2.6g but still quite profound experiences.

I'm looking at better scales online, but the reviews aren't that great for cheap scales, at least for models that claim to sense in the milligram level (for possible MDMA use in the future).
Proper professional scales seem to cost a few hundred. Maybe with a good calibration weight the cheaper ones are all right. Currently I'm using a 4.5g coin to test my weighing and it seems to work well with the current scale and .1g measuring levels.

I've got this scale and it's pretty good. I don't trust it to an accuracy of more than 10mg, though it is more accurate than that (especially when new and in good condition, I'd say within 2mg). For mdma though that should be more than accurate enough.

Everybody doesn't know what they're talking about. .2g can easily produce a mini trip. Especially with no tolerance. Definitely try lower next time, either .1 or .15.
