First microdose taken today
    #28229576 - 03/14/23 03:14 PM (10 months, 10 days ago)

Never have done mushrooms before but been exploring cultivation and microdosing so took my first dose today after a successful small harvest. I used golden teachers and lemon tekked them with some lemon ginger tea.

Tea even by itself was good. I used a digital scale with a resolution of .01g and dosed .06g dried so should've been between .05-.07. I'm usually sensitive to drugs including even weed and am a 1 hit wonder so decided to go small. It was probably placebo but I felt after about 15 minutes I was a bit drowsier and slightly warm in the face with very slight body sensations. Nothing cerebral though so could've been just placebo and anxiety over anything else as a subjective experience.

Also supplemented with lion's mane and plan on doing every 3rd day for about 10-15 doses which is how much mushrooms I have unless my shoeboxes explode before then (which is possible seeing how I'm seeing knots after 13 days)

No point really to the post other than a note to myself and happy to hear others experiences. I'm on the autistic spectrum and also ADHD so was curious the effects if any I might get after a few weeks of microdosing. If I don't not anything major I might start more recreational doses in the 1g range and see what happens.

I think 0.6 is huge dose for microdose....Unless they are extremely weak cubes.
You shouldn't feel anything except a change in mood and a few other benefits.
Do you grow the Lion mane yourself? :heart:

It was .06 not .6. The lion's mane is some gummies but I actually have some I'm growing now. Should be ready to harvest this week

Ahh sorry my bad, i understood 0.6 xd I usually need 0.1 for regular cubes.
What TEK do you use for Lion mane?

I didn't necessarily follow a specific Tek. I did a 5lb sawdust block using the pretty generic recipe online everywhere with hardwood pellets and inoculated with 1qt oat spawn. Once I saw fruiting bodies on top I cut a couple x's and transferred to fruiting tub

I think lemon tekking is unnecessary for microdoses.

I also just started a microdosing regimen.  I first did a little test last week with a half gram in some tea. As I expected, it was a little much for a microdose. I stuffed some capsules full and they hold a quarter gram, so that's what I'm using as my dose size now, every other day.

.06 grams must be like a tiny piece of stem or something.  You might need to increase that.  I think it's worthwhile to find out how much it takes to feel something directly so that you can back off from that amount.

I mean the entire point is to be subperceptual so to feel something and back it off slightly I think is asking for trouble for me. If I'm on that threshold dose then some potent mushrooms or empty stomach could mess my day up. I'm happy to stay in that .05-.1g amount and if I want to catch a buzz bump to 1g for a fun afternoon or something.

Sounds like your experience is going well.  After macro (2g) and mini (.7g) doses there is for me a period of time well after in which I just feel darn better.  I started micro (.1-.05) and stopped other doses 6 months ago looking to experience "feel darn better" without the buzz.  I have not been able to repeat the after glow without the event but have continued to micro only always sub-perceptual.

For me micro works exactly as most antidepressants are described.  "Eventually with persistence, one day you will feel that things are not as bad as they were, sun will be slightly warmer, food being consumed will bring more pleasure, a better feeling of being"  Most importantly I do not think I had an mood altering effect for over a month.  Just like the nasty drugs it took time to work.  Unlike them I have been able to stay on the regiment due the the decreased side effects.

what kind of scale did you use? I have a 100g one but doesn't seem to be very accurate, and not wanting to splurge a huge amount of money..

I bought the Gem20 clone on amazon for like $25 and it measures grams to the .001 and seems stable enough for our use. Comes with a 2 year warranty and all

GingerMyc I also have the Gem20 Clone.  Highly recommended.  Use it for all of my doses, including the occasional MDMA session.

I'd like to share my experience with microdosing.  I've been microdosing for roughly 2 years now, off & on.  I've experienced a lot of different methods but finally found the right mix for myself.  Using the Stamets method, four days on (Thursday - Sunday) & three days off (Monday - Wednesday).  Do it for two months & then take a month off. 

My recommendation: 0.08 grams psylocibin (I use Cambodian Gold as they're not too strong) & 0.02 grams Lions Mane in a size 2 capsule.  I grind up roughly 11 grams of dried shrooms & 3 grams of dried Lions Mane with a coffee grinder.  Then use a capsule filling machine.  Simply put, get a scale & make capsules.

At first, I couldn't tell the benefits of microdosing.  I would take too much (started with 0.20 grams) feel the unwanted body high, being distracted by music, etc.  But I finally found that perfect spot.  Since I got to pin-point the doses, it's extremely helpful with my stress & anger.  I find myself letting things go & not worrying about the small stuff.  My wife agrees & my work stress has improved.

Good info. I'm currently doing what I'll call a modified Fadiman protocol. I've only done a few microdoses but been playing in the .05g to .1g range with 1 day on and 2 days off. The on days I also take 500mg lions mane gummy.

I'm way to early to tell how I feel so won't even guess, but would also like to supplement the occasional light recreational dose here and there for a nice weekend, as in the 1g range plus or minus a bit. I figure spread out like this will keep tolerances low while I explore.

What do the "off days" feel like? Any different to the on days? What about when you take a break for a week or so?

Do you have to take a break? Or what is the reason to take a break?

Honestly, if you feel different on the off days, you are probably taking too much. The changes, if microdosing is real, should be gradual and long lasting. There should be no noticeable effect for the first few days or weeks even. I think microdosing is being done backwards, instead of finding the threshold and inching back we should be using as little as possible and working up to noticeable change over the course of months. That is if you want to use mushrooms in an anti-depressant SSRI type of way, obviously most of us enjoy threshold/low-dosing rather than microdosing because we like to feel high but I imagine that counts as overdosing when it comes to the longterm effects. Oddly I think once you pass those ranges and work into macrodosing all the innerwork you’re trying to do can be done in an evening or two.

I've not been doing this long enough to be able to scientifically answer that honestly. I'm going into week 3, but all I can say is when I take it I just feel sleepy and relaxed up to.18g. So maybe I need to back off since I'm on the verge of liftoff

I done micro dose of nibbles to stems and could thoroughly feel the presence of head shift. Enough to change perception of reality. To tell the truth, made common day household and public occurrences annoying and headache giving.  The allergy to cats would boom my head at first smell of my loved cat. The friend in back in law studio would give headache to first spoken words. The person met out and about he would boom off my presence and I would give him a moment to be of change headspace.

I didn’t see any benefit to the use of micro dose. All this jibber jab really hyped up by the upcoming marketing scheme of old news for that it will circulate money, occupy the time of those who question what to do with their time and give employment to those in idea of university/society living.

Don’t get me wrong, life is a beautiful thing.  I psychological trip of diagnoses and such really not my thing. We all human and the brain runs in most mind expansive way if look to it and let it be as such, or, can narrow look to and try to find chemical imbalances, or is the look into just tying those strings in knots that see need untied?

It’s all a mysterious puzzle.

To microdosing, if you want to see of benefit, sure look and belief of what benefit happening is of benefit you need. Really much of a self hypnotism anyway. Or, a hypnotism by other due to hype of credentials and wind of ego.

On the plus side, did come to a song on piano that is of a well toon. Also, finished the art piece working on. The art piece be finished none the less, three plus weeks micro dosing or not. The song maybe just a band aid to what waves the mushrooms were grounding out. For songs just as a passing wind, always present to the breathing.

Best wishes.
