Hi!
I am a researcher in entheogen studies currently interested in microdosing. Do you have any experience? Vote on the poll, and describe how it has worked for you in a reply post if you like

I have microdosed extensively with 1P- LSD at doses of 12ug- 24ug the 24ug is definetely mind altering and can out you into a trippy headstate and brightened colors yet no actual visuals and increased creativity and sense of well being very uppity stimulating and feel a come up a peak effect and lasts all day when I take it in the morning alittle strong imo, 12ug was a perfect dose alittle little less flooring as the 24ug but all the same effects
I've also experimented with .2g-.5g of psilocybe cubensis feels exactly the same as the 1P microdose imo, the .5g is little to strong aswell .3g seems to work best with the mushroom
Mushrooms seemed to produce the same feelings creativity happiness without the uppity stimulating effect
To me in summary a mivrodose feels like a psychedelic coffee quite stimulating and definetly beneficial I was only doing it once a week

I've tried tai chi and other martial arts on very low doses of LSD. I plan to do further research.

Thanks for input 
pablokabute: That's interesting! Can you elaborate? What did you microdose, and often and for how long, and what specifically did you experience?
MikeTesserect: On what dose do you feel the body high is too strong?
connectedcosmos: Was there a beneficial effect only when the microdose was active, or did you feel effects beyond the standard duration as well?
sunshine: So how was it? Can you describe how it worked for you?

Entheogen study-
I definetely felt an after glow just like if you dose high enough for a actual psychedelic experience, so yea id say I felt beneficial effects beyond the duration of the dose

ive tried maybe 3-4 times on acid and twice on shrooms providing similar effects bar the duration. ( doses forgotten but pretty normal amounts )
Noteworthy times:
(last time i tried acid microdose) Woke up feeling depressed, anxious and uncomfortable ( used to suffer from major depression and have mostly recovered ). I tried to lift my spirits and take my mind off it until around 3pm when I decided to microdose (normal amount, exact dose forgotten) . This helped MASSIVELY, the rest of the day i felt in good spirits, music was amazing, orgasmic body load, social and chatty and energetic. I felt very productive, just sitting infront of netflix felt horrible and I quickly turned to ticking off my todo lists. However.... at the end of the day i still felt a bit stimulated but probably able to sleep, I decided to smoke some weed for fun and sedation as a sleep aid. I lay in bed extremely stoned and psychedelic, I couldnt sleep for hours and all my thoughts were visualized in my mind. At first this was fun but once I really wanted to sleep I started to panic. My thoughts got confusing and I couldnt hold onto anything in my mind. Any thoughts that could calm me were forgotten by the time i finished thinking them. I rolled over and could feel my heart beating into the bed extremely fast making me feel unbelievably anxious. Eventualllly i fell asleep... worth noting this is my first bad experience with any psych I can handle myself well. Its also worth noting I had a trip planned the next evening and the same thing happened but not so scary when i got home and tried to sleep. I have now suddenly had completely sleepless nights while sober even when completely relaxed and drowsy. I wonder whether these experiences have induced insomnia, not sure.
Feeling very tired and had a martial arts class to attend for the first time so I didnt want to make a bad impression. This was my second time microdosing shrooms, i dosed around 0.25-0.35 a few hours before in an attempt to peak well before the class and still just be stimulated and in a good positive mood for it. This backfired massively as I had a large meal around the time of dosing and it only really kicked in once i got to the class. I found it very hard to follow instructions and had a huge body load. I used the excuse of sleep deprivation to mask my retardedness.
Other experiences have been very positive however I feel i may have seemed a bit out of it. eg. very chatty and energetic but at the same time stumbling over words and finding it hard to hold onto conversation. I believe these times I may have dosed too high, however they were doses towards the lower side of recommended microdose amounts, maybe I am just more sensitive.

I've done it with Mescaline and it was sublime I'm here at the shroomery so I can learn to grow my own mushies for the same purpose. And, Happy Day, I have pins on my cakes, they are soaking and will be fruited shortly.

I've tried tai chi a few times on a very low dose of LSD. I also practice some "external" martial arts. I'm at a stage where most of what I learn is so advanced it's beyond the scope of beginning practitioners. It's been beneficial. I'm sort of new to LSD and I don't know how much I've taken, the strength. I've also tried microdosing mushrooms. When I cross into tripping, I tend to want to stop practicing. My technique gets odd and would probably be ineffective in a fight!

Microdosing gives me energy and keeps me alert. colors are more vibrant and bright. I've tried from .2 to .5 grams of cubensis before work. .4 to .5 was often too much cause occasionally I'd get visuals but it was never negative. I'd just rather not trip at work. I think .3 grams is the sweet spot for dried psilocybe cubensis. I don't do it anymore because higher doses are what they are really for. Apparently there is a history of microdosing in humans if you believe the McKenna theory that hunters would microdose before the hunt because it would improve their eyesight.

A lot of martial peoples are known to have microdosed before battle. I like to smoke heavy ganja and warm up for an hour or two.

Me and my wife have been enjoying a half a gram about once a week. We cuddle on the couch with the fireplace going. Last night we did that and watched some Star Trek Voyager episodes - it's was great!

overshot microdosing yesterday and was tripping balls for a little while off the pins and shroom that broke off when I birthed my cakes.

Very interesting 
I would love to know about this from all of you:
1. For how long have you experimented with microdosing? Are you still doing it? How often? Do you do it in cycles or continuously?
2. How does microdosing affect tripping on higher doses? Do you take full doses during the periods when you microdose? Is there a tolerance effect?

The only reasonable amount of time I've microdosed was ten days consecutively. Haven't had the urge to microdose in a while, those ten days where about 9 months ago.
Not sure microdosing effects higher doses one way or the other too much, beyond that fact that you're body will be more used to it, so it may be a little bit less of a surprise as you start a real dose. I didn't consider taking a higher dose while microdosing, seems counter to microdosing. Yes there is a tolerance effect obviously if you're injesting a drug for days and days you will build a tolerance, a realitivly small one.
-------------------- But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try and another to fly You get there quicker just a step at a time It's one thing to bark, another to bite The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Micro-dosed shrooms, for the first time, a few times about a year ago. It helped with my depression and anxiety a great deal, and was of course fun.. My doses were pretty small and freshly harvested.
I haven't done so since then, but I am planning on it. I hadn't done shrooms in probably three years before that, and that time was not an small dose.
My plan is to microdose on a semi regular basis and see how it impacts my depression, so you could call it an experiment and an alternative to antidepressants. I'm getting ready to ditch the antidepressants, they just seem to make me worse; once off the AD's I am going to begin the microdose experiment and document the results, cause I didn't last time, I just didn't realize the possible benefits.
I believe the natural shrooms are more health than the pharms.
I do plan on doing full doses as well, how often I don't yet know. It's an experiment I am looking forward to and plan to document the results so I can determine what does and doesn't work.
Amazing that you posted this now, just as I was beginning to thing about it and start thinking of how to go about it.
Cheers!

1- I use it on one offs, not in cycles.
2- Causes small tolerance, seemed to have little to no effect on me tripping the day after on 100ug.

My most common dose of Psilocybe cubensis is 0.25gr dried, or an average of 1.5mg Psilocybin.
At that level I get bright (and I mean BRIGHT!) moods, good introspection upon meditation, a generally meditative, contemplating mood and most definitely I get beneficial long lasting effects from it. Its healthy to do, and doesnt lead to serious emotional trouble in case of difficult psychological material surfacing. If it surfaces I am able to deal with it without blowing my top. That's useful.
Low dose shrooms are as beneficial to the brain as ayahuasca is, make no mistake.
And: 1/8oz = 14 doses!
When I take 0.25 and want to boost for duration, I simply eat 0.25gr every 3 hours. (1-4 doses) You can stay high all day on a gram if you do it like that.
Its IDEAL for social trips, higher doses tend to draw you into yourself.
For me this dose is enough to sit in a chair, doing nothing, for hours on end and still have a fulfilling experience.
DON'T use it at work/school/social events of non drug people.
Even at 0.25gr, leave at least 2 weeks between sesions and preferably 1-3 months.

What are your experiences with combining microdoses of mushrooms/LSD with full doses of cannabis, MDMA or other drugs?
Asante: Your cycle of 1-4 doses one day then waiting up to three months for the next session is quite different from what I have been reading about elsewhere. How long have you been doing this?
browny: Will be interesting to hear about your experiences

~.2g once every 3+ days
-------------------- 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)

Hi all!
I have finished a first draft of the paper, which is attached to this post and also published at ResearchGate and Academia: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313841409_Powerful_substances_in_tiny_amounts_Exploring_the_practice_of_microdosing_psychedelic_drugs https://www.academia.edu/31514420/Manuscript_-_Powerful_substances_in_tiny_amounts
If you have participated in the study, it would be good if you read through the results section and check that I have quoted you in an acceptable context etc.
Since this is an explorative study I am open to input about aspects of microdosing that are not mentioned in the draft. Could be anything - positive effects, side effects, difficulties...
Thanks to everybody who participated in the study

Hello again!
My microdose study, which many of you kindly contributed to last year, is now published in the Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (NAD). It has been through a number of revisions.
Here is the link to the article in NAD: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1455072517753339
And here is a link to the article on my ResearchGate page: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323213659_Powerful_substances_in_tiny_amounts_An_interview_study_of_psychedelic_microdosing
Big thanks to everyone who contributed. I hope this article will be a small beginning for many research projects on psychedelic microdosing.
PS. I have many plans for psychedelic research, including an interview study of bad trip experiences and a big survey. I will post it here when it is ready, and I hope many of you will take the time to participate.

I love to micro dose. It is my preferred method now that I am older and cant go on care free adventures to much. Micro dose make me happy. I always notice a tolerance effect in any amount i take. i build tolerance very quick like in a day or two it wont work. so I do it in intervals of twice a week on to separate days with time in between.

For a while I did .3 every third day. Was really helpful for the time that I did it, but I didn't notice any long lasting effects.
