PSA: threshold dose and micro-dose are VERY different!
If you are taking enough mushroom that you feel a slight change for the next ~6 hours then that is a THRESHOLD dose. Threshold doses are useful but it is very important to distinguish between a threshold dose and a micro-dose. I get threshold effects at .25-.3 grams of strong cubensis. It does not take much.
A micro-dose is .05-.1g. It will not make you feel anything directly. The benefits of microdosing are not apparent until later in the week. You will look back and be proud of your decisions and ability to control your emotions. You may feel extra aware during the day or more well rested when you wake up.
Threshold doses are great for introspection and enjoyment of music or art. In this way, we can treat them like a macro-dose trip where you are almost fully lucid. Paying attention to the effects is a fun game and I would highly recommend a threshold dose at a concert. That said, if you are expecting a micro-dose and you take a half gram you should expect a weird, and not entirely pleasant, next few hours.
True microdosing is amazingly powerful. It improves your empathy and when you read your journal for the week you will be amazed at your own fortitude. At the same time, you won't have to think about the effects at all. No anxiety or expectations since you know you won't be able to feel the effect.
Find your threshold dose and try tripping on that much. I think you will find that .3 grams can have a surprisingly positive effect if you respect it. Then try microdosing with a truly tiny dose. That might surprise you as well.
