First time Micro Dose advice 🍻

G'day guys,
First time poster here searching for some advice. So maybe 25yrs ago I had mayb half dozen good experiences with Panaeolus Cyanescens and a couple not so good.
Anyhow that's the extent of my shrooms experience until yesterday.
I've decided I want to try Microdosing to see if it will change my outlook on the world and maybe calm my mind a bit. Possibly make me more chilled and less anxious and snappy at my wife and son.
So yesterday at 9am I had 0.2g of dried Panaeolus Cyanescens that had been picked fresh and dried maybe a month ago. In about 15min a wave of anxiety and warmth came over me which was probably due to the worry of the last time I had shrooms and had way to much and was on another planet crook as a dog. I reassured my self that it was only 0.2g and not 2g and all was good. After that not much changed and I didn't really feel any different for the next 3hrs. Now I guess your not meant to feel anything when Microdosing but for some reason I expected mayb something. So then I was like shit I didn't take enough so I had another 0.3g. After about an hour I was feeling pretty much the same but quite happy and relaxed I guess. Then I cracked a bottle of red wine and proceeded to drink that whilst cranking some tunes and lighting the fire pit in the back yard. Around 5 o'clock the fiend in me kicked in and I had another 0.5g and opened another bottle of red wine. I was in a good place, happy and having a good time with my wife and son around the fire. Possible half cut from the wine.
All the micro dosing posts I have read have suggested 0.2g is the lucky number.
In total throughout the day I had 1gram of dried Panaeolus Cyanescens, why did I not feel much at all ?
Should I take mayb 0.5g and see if I feel anything and drop the dose next time if I feel spaced out ?
I did notice that I was thinking a lot more and appreciating things.
Any advice much appreciated 🍻

Take 2g next time, if you want to feel something. You didn’t microdose.
Google microdosing protocol one more time. You shouldn’t feel anything.
Microdosing looks more like, Take .2g, skip 2 days, take .2g again, skip 2 days, take .2g again. For a few months.

Thanks for the reply Shr00mEater. My plan was to take 0.2g skip 2 days and go again until I run out (I only have 4grams dried ATM). I got a bit gready first time I guess. I was expecting a mood change or at least some sort of different feeling 🤷. I'll try again at mayb 0.3 and see what happens. I did have the dose 1hr after a bowl of cereal in the morning. Could this have dampened any possible effects ? 🍻

The idea of micro dosing is that you're supposed to take a small dose and then go on with your normal day to day life. It kinda defeats the purpose if you sit around waiting for any effects.

I understand what your saying but surely there has to be some sort of effect,ie mood change or thought path 🤷. My understanding is that you need to find the minimum effective dose which is the amount just before you notice any sort of visuals or spaceyness.
If there is no change in mood or mindset then what is the point of such a small dose ? I guess I need to experiment more and find what works. Cheers for the reply 🍻

As someone who has experimented with micro dosing a good bit, I can tell you the ideas of trying to feel something is what, ironically, made you not notice the effects. When I microdose, I go about my day. Sometimes I feel uplifted right away, and other times I only notice how much clarity and openness, as well as reduction in anxiety, Is taking place upon later reflection. And, ultimately, you need to micro dose for a significant duration (id say at least a month) to start feeling and becoming in tune with the subtle effects of the micro dose.

Thanks for the reply Socrateshroom. Do you recommend the standard 0.2g as most people do or should I keep playing around with dosage until I find the minimum effective dose ? Cheers

I suggest experimenting until you find your dose, everyone is different. Just be weary that what may seem like a micro dose may, in fact, be too much. You need to find a dose that doesn’t alter perception in the classic psychedelic way (visuals, body load, time distortion). And it’s a very narrow margin. For me 0.2g is a good micro dose. 0.3g is the upper limit. 0.4g gives me a full on “mini trip” and is not conducive to imbibing in normal life.

Tried something different this time..... 0.3g first thing 7am in the morning and a coffee. I think 0.3g is the magic number. Felt very energized till around 10am and extremely aware of my surroundings No visuals or any distortion of time etc. I do however have a bit of a headache now (7pm).
Cheers for the advice 🍻

For micro dosing, it depends on the potency. In light of that, my typical dosing range for a micro dose is .1g. - .35 grams. Usually once a month or every other month. I homogenize whole fungi flushes into a powder using a blender to make doses as consistent in potency as I can control, when done like that I generally have only needed .15g or .2g Max to hit the right target.
