I've heard that dosing 3 days on and 2 days off is a good dose schedule. If you feel any effects, take less.  I've tried it and feel like i am a little more focused and usually pretty calm. If I over do it, I get the yawns.

A true micro dose is a sub-threshold dose. Meaning you won't feel an altered consciousness. You don't feel anything when micro dosing. Some people take more but that isn't micro dosing.

There are no setup rules for microdosing. The effects of psilocin are too subjectively different from person to person, so one cannot say this or that is "right". Every individual is different.

Usually, 0.05 to 0.1g of dry cubes is a microdose. 0.2g is a low dose already, with noticable alterations on the visual field and mood.
I like to take a small dose in the morning, like 0.4g, this makes up for a good day. But that's no microdosing anymore. I'm fully affected by this dose already, with noticable open eye visuals and trippy thoughts.


Microdosing is bullshit in my opinion. Take a full dose every now and then, this will have a much bigger impact on your mind than a microdose that you don't feel at all.
You won't turn to a better person with microdosing. You won't turn to a better person with full dosing.
You only turn to a better person if you really decide to. You don't need drugs for that.

A full dose shows you your own faults stronger and more directly than a microdose, that's a fact.

That seems legit.

I think a small dose is better than a microdose. I kind of want to feel it. Low mushroom doses are fun. I think a daily half g would bw great.

I wouldn't say microdosing is bullshit. It can certainly improve emotional and cognitive wellbeing. Not everybody wants to or can't trip every day due to job or responsibilities. It's just a matter of using the right tool for the job

to me a dose of 0.15g or 0.2g is usually best. 0.1g is on the micro territory and doesnt seem to provide any benefits.

If you notice nothing, whats the benefit? Why not take a dose that you can subtlelly feel

That's what I mean.

A proper single dose has a much more beneficial impact on your life than microdosing for weeks.

There is a fat blurry line between micro dosing and threshold dosing, IMHO.
If you receive any change or benefit that you notice does this qualify as a micro dose? :shrug:

Anyways the general regime is one day dose, 3 days off or at least 2 days off.
Consider using the introspective time to consider what things you want to improve by having pre-constructed ideas. For example a list of things written sober or a collection of photos or objects that you carve out time to consider while on your dose day.
I would say .1g but could go as high as .3g

4 people I know are microdosing, and seem to be that much more in command of their lives, even during Covid.

Yes, I prefer to  feel it, a lot, but that is not the goal of the microdoser, no, instead they are pushing back the enveloping sense of ennui. It seems to work. and they also seem occasionally in the grip of a flash of insight that fits remarkably well with just hanging out.

heheh. ~Was about to post a very similar question.

Currently have my 0.5g microdose brewing. :biggrin:
TBH, I agree 0.1g would be mostly pointless personally. I need results I can feel, not reflect on aftewards.

In the last 3 weeks I have micro-dosed; 0.3g, 0.4g and soon today 0.5g.
0.4g was about perfect, evoked some compassionate feelings and a strong desire to tidy my flat in order to make it a nice place to live for myself. However it might have been a bit challenging in public...
0.3g was weak.... left me wanting more. But I had a nice time on it...
Let's see how 0.5g goes : ) though, i suspect it'll be more like a mild trip than what 'I' call a microdose (0.3-0.4g)

I call a good dose 1.5-2g for reference.

The "microdoses" I've done are around 0.4-0.5g and I have clearer vision and a more lucid and calm experience where I can focus on anything and i feel good in general.

I do feel heavy on 0.5g. I suggest playing around with a low dose when you have no tolerance

I tried 0.1 this morning of some freshly grown and dried albinos.

I have to say, it worked. I went out and ran errands and felt way calmer. Usually i am prone to road rage but i was way more chill.

This was like 4 hours ago and it seems to have subsided.  I am also using this to stop drinking so much, and it has curbed my want of a beer so thats cool. I am going to keep this up for a few days and see what happens but for sure i notice a difference. I am usually depressed and angry but now i am less so, i was even happy earlier.

Seems promising.

A full dose shows you your own faults stronger and more directly than a microdose, that's a fact.







:werd:

I share the same opinion for the most part.


I feel that a full-dose taken periodically has much more to offer than a micro-dose does.

I also feel that placebo is playing a big part in micro-dosing. (that's not to say micro-dosing doesn't do anything at all, I believe it can, just feel that it's often exaggerated and that placebo is what's happening some of the time)




I don't have a lot of personal experience with micro-dosing...Years ago there was a short period of time I tried it for a few weeks and the entire time I just kept wondering if there was any difference to my days or any sort of "action" or benefit actually happening. I didn't notice anything at all :shrug: . My anxiety & stress levels were the same, my cognition was the same, I didn't feel "enhanced" or sharper in anyway....I felt like I was wasting mushrooms.

In comparison to a "full dose", and not even a deep-dose but just what I consider to be a full on "casual trip" (1.2g of cyanescens/allenii or 2.5g to 3g of cubensis)...With a full dose I absolutely notice a TON of differences and benefits that lasts for days to weeks after. After a session with a full dose my headspace is much clearer and "brighter", my cognition is super sharp and enhanced and "on point", anxiety & stress is easier to deal with and doesn't "sink into me" as much, I feel more motivated and "on top of life", way waaay more creative in my thought process, I feel a more consistent presence & connection to "love" and the planet/nature, I feel physically lighter on my feet and have more energy. I feel a connection to my "true self"/spirit/soul what ever you want to label it as, makes me feel like a kid again.



Taking a full dose once or twice a month does soooo much more for me than micro-dosing did. Keeps me "super-charged" and in tune. Like being slapped with a tuning fork from god lol. And it only gets better with each passing month. The best shape I've been in my life in regards to various aspects like emotionally, physically, cognitively, spiritually etc etc was when I was dosing mushrooms about twice a month for 6 months or so. I felt so damn good back then, in such a "flow", felt on top of the world and life/existence felt magical as fuck.

...With that said tho, over the past year or so I haven't really had the opportunity to trip that frequently. Ideally I prefer to have a trip with mushrooms once to twice a month through out the year, it does A LOT for my mental health and keeps my cognition on point and just all around keeps me sharp & tuned up.

I find the effects that 0.5g or 0.3g produces uncomfortable. There is this stimulation and feeling weird, kind of trippy.
I havent tried meditating on that dose, so maybe that would help and would work, but for anything else that dose seems a little distracting.
Perhaps outdoors moving around it would work better.
Supposedly according to McKenna's theory thats how they were used for hunting and the sort.

'microdosing' <10ug of LSD worked well for me. I did that everyday for a couple of months.

I'd say microdosing is good if you aren't ready for a trip. I agree and I think a solid trip once a month/fortnight is better for you than microdosing regularly.
But, there are times I want the help, but I'm not prepared to trip balls to get it. These times I 'mini-dose'

Glad the 0.1g worked out OP. I may try this in a week when my tolerance is back down as I've never taken <0.3g

Even if it is just placebo, fuck it, it works.
