A simple Mushroom Capsule Microdose protocol 4

Here's a simple low-tech method of making microdose mushroom capsules.
First you need Capsules Perfect for this are the large size capsules communly used for supplements. You can buy these cheaply in bags of 1000 on the Internet, along with capsule makers, but for this small potatores tek, just buy a bottle of the cheapest supplement that comes in large capsules, ,and empty them. You can still take the supplement without the capsule in yoghurt or applesauce.
Second you need Dried Mushrooms. These can be grown and dried easily, or bought. Bought they usually come in 1/8oz to 1 oz quantities. 1/8 oz is plenty. The mushrooms bought are usually of the Psilocybe cubensis type. in some areas you can only buy fresh "truffles" (sclerotia) which should be sliced up and dried first.
What to do?
First, take your mushroom material and reduce it to a fine powder. A good way to do this is with a chef's knife on a plate, just chop it into a powder or very fine bits.
Then, mix these thoroughly.
Now, scoop the tubes loosely full of mushroom, do not compress in any way, and snap the caps on.
1/8oz of shrooms should yield roughly 15-30 very loosely filled caps. Each cap is a microdose, in case of P Cubensis about half a milligram of psilocybin each. That should be noticable for most with no tolerance, without bowling them over. Therapeutic range of strong activity is 4-20mg.
Store these caps in a small airtight jar in the freezer. stored this way, they keep for a decade, easy. If you store them dry and dark in a closet instead, they should keep for about 3/4 of a year.
TO USE these capsules, just take one with half a glass of water or juice on an empty stomach. Effects tend to become noticable in 15-30min, grow in intensity until 1-1:30h, plateay until about 3h and decline until about the 4th or 5th hour. After 6 hours after one capsule, when feeling fullt grounded, the experience can be considered over.
It is possible to extend the experience by taking a capsule every 3 hours to stay on the level. You can fill a day with that.
I am more conservative about frequency of microdosing than most, I believe it should be done 2x a month at most and once a week at the very most.
Here you go! Easy as pie.

BeefSupremeJr said: Filling Bulk Capsules
If youve ever filled pills by hand, you know its tedious and slow. I bought a 00 cap filler and took the time to master it. Like anything else, you always learn the right way to do it in the last ten minutes. after processing around 5k capsules, i know the right way. you can save some time by reading this as the instructions for the machine are brief and somewhat confusing as this is a chinese product. moreover, mushrooms tend to be chunky and theres some steps that should mitigate any issues this will cause.
Its a great way to store mushrooms long-term and the doses are fairly consistent at ~ .2g per capsule at a 00 size. for me, my pe variant is brutal potent so this is a perfect starter dose.
--------------------------------------
The Machine
lets jump into it. i wont name the brand of machine i got, but im very happy with it. im sure you can find it just as easily as i did. it runs around $20usd. makes 100 at a time.

Other things that make this a lot easier
1. a grinder. not a coffee grinder. too slow and it frankly does a shit job. i use a magic bullet:

2. a fine paintbrush. they are cheap.

3. 4 empty clean sterilite shoebox tubs. perhaps youve heard of them? perhaps you have several hundred laying around?
4. empty clean jars. maybe you have a couple extra?
5. beer.
---------------------------------------
Parts List
lets go over the parts real quick so you know what im talking about when im talking about it.
1. bottom capsule plate. (bottom plate) (the main body of the machine with springloaded assembly) 
2. plate filling jig. (plate filler) this thing fills both the top and bottom plates with the capsule halves.

3. top capsule plate. (top plate) 
4. flipper. (flipper) it holds the top capsule halves in place when you flip the top plate over.

5. capsule filling jig. (powder jig) 
6. powder scraper. (scraper)

7. tamper. (tamper)

8. the capsules. lets establish now that the bottom of the capsule is the longer male end, and the top is the shorter female end. 00 size only for this machine.
--------------------------
process
Two major steps before you can fill any caps:
A: Grinding. fill the grinder to the top and shake it as you grind. get it just as powder fine as you can. hold the grinder at an angle and it tends to cyclone. carefully transfer it to an empty jar.
B: Separating the capsules into two different tubs. tops in one, bottoms in the other--no exceptions. heres where the beer comes in handy. focus and you can get pretty good at this.
The rest is remarkably fun, quick, and easy. so here we go:
------------------
1. Load the plates with cap halves. use the plate filler and pour handfuls of caps onto each respective plate. it does a very accurate job if everything is clean. hold the assemblies over the respective tubs so the excess falls off into the tub. take the filler off to inspect the plates. if any are missing or upside-down, fix it. to inspect and fix the bottom plate, you will need to depress the plate with your thumbs
 this parts easier done than said. just get both plates loaded with cap ends correctly.
 --------- 2. fill the bottom plate with material assuming you did the last part right, put the bottom plate (with powder jig) into an empty tub and pour some mushrooms or grandmas ashes or whatever on there. scrape it around with the scraper until all the caps look full. brush off the excess.
 use the tamper. dont be afraid to press hard and wiggle a little.
 keep adding material, scraping and tamping until they feel "snuggly full" and brush the bottom plate clean. it should look about like this:
 ---------- 3. pressing the capsules. Put the flipper on the top plate, grooves up. notice the two grooves on either side. pinch the top plate and flipper together and flip them over. place this assembly on top of the bottom plate.
 place the entire assembly on a firm desk and press using both hands, hard. you should feel a "pop" as you press the caps together. all your pills will be in the flipper.

Check them.
If they arent clicked together, you didnt press hard enough. if you heard a crunching sound and have a couple broken pills, it means that your bottom plate wasnt clean enough. if you didnt grind enough, chunks can overlap the bottom plate openings which will tear the capsule.
Get into a rhythm. drink beer. listen to tunes. i belted out more than a lb of capsules in about 4 hours. thats minus cap weight. store them with desiccant so the pills dont stick together.

Great pictorial tek, though not very convenient if you have 1/8oz, a small appetite and thin wallet.

I like the looks and functionality of this device much better than the Cap-m-quik that I own..

If you got a thin wallet growing your own is where it's at. Instead of paying some dreadlock wearin' hippydip prime prices for product of questionable quality.

Once a person makes the investment in some basic equipment, growing mushrooms is a pretty cheap endeavour.

I thought that you are not supposed to really feel any noticable effects when on a microdose, that its supposed to be extremely subtle increase in creativity/performance and whatnot.
I was told that if im "feeling it", i took too much.

Most noticable are the changes in creativity etc. we're talking 0.5mg psilocybin here, the usual range is 10-20mg
