Magic Mushrooms have a wide variety of reported benefits to overall health and wellbeing

What is Microdosing?

Microdosing is the act of taking small doses of a psychedelic substance — such as magic mushrooms — in order to experience the benefits without the full-blown psychedelic experience.

The primary goal is to take small doses (usually between 0.1-0.5 grams) over the course of several days or weeks in order to achieve the desired effects and to see the physical and mental benefits. Mushrooms and microdoses affect everyone differently, so it’s best to start with the smallest dose and see how it affects you before increasing.

What are the benefits of Microdosing?

Microdosing is a natural alternative and therapy that can provide many positive benefits.

Studies have shown that microdosing with magic mushrooms can reduce stress, depression and anxiety; increase creativity, focus and productivity; enhance self-awareness; improve sleep quality; and even help people quit smoking.

It’s also thought that microdosing might help to regulate hormones and improve overall physical health. With all these reported benefits, it's clear why many are making microdosing a part of their everyday routine.

How to Microdose Mushrooms?

If you’re interested in trying microdosing magic mushrooms for yourself, it’s important to know how to do it safely and effectively.

Microdosing magic mushrooms is simple and straightforward once you understand the process, but it’s important to take the right steps to ensure you get the most out of your microdose.

Here’s what you need to know before getting started: 

  • Start small. Begin with just a tiny dose (around 0.2 grams is a good starting point) and increase gradually until the desired effect is achieved.  

  • Track your progress: record how  you feel and what effects you are experiencing. This will help you to understand how your body is reacting to the microdosing and adjust accordingly. 

  • Be consistent: take the same dose at the same time every day for the best results.

  • Stay hydrated: drinking plenty of water can help reduce any potential side effects.

  • Purchase from a reliable source.

When microdosing mushrooms, start with doses between 0.1 and 0.5 grams per day for 2-4 weeks at a time. You should also be mindful about how often you are consuming them and stick to an established routine.

Remember that everyone metabolizes psilocybin differently. It’s important to note that while many consider this to be a safe way to take mushrooms, there can still be some side effects, so it’s important to start slow and pay attention to how your body reacts. Start with an even lower dose if you feel uncomfortable or notice any adverse reactions.

What to Expect?

It’s important to remember that these effects can vary from person to person, and no two people will experience the same effect. Because microdosing is the process of taking small amounts of psilocybin on a regular basis, typically over a period of several weeks or months, it allows your body adjust gradually to the effects of the mushroom. It should not cause any major mind-altering experiences, but again, listen to your body as your guide for microdosing mushrooms.
