Hello there! I’m Seb, your go-to mushroom guru 🌿. If you’re curious about learning how to microdose shrooms, you’ve come to the right place.
The basic idea of a microdose is to take a tiny dose of psychedelic shrooms (specifically Psilocybe Cubensis) that’s just enough to give your brain a little boost without sending you on a full trip
A microdose of shrooms is typically around 0.1 to 0.3 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis Mushrooms, the protocol that I have used in the past consists in taking one dose, and taking two days off, then repeating for 8 weeks.
I’ve started in the mushrooms world by using this protocol, and it has helped me a lot on enhancing my focus and creativity skills 🌱
How to Source Your Shrooms
First things first, where do you even get your shrooms? Sourcing psychedelic mushrooms can be tricky depending on where you live, so it’s crucial to find a reliable source
Here are a few options:
Grow Your Own: If you’re into gardening, this is a great way to ensure top-notch quality 🌱
Buy from a Trusted Source: Look for a community or network where the quality and potency are reliable. Always check reviews and reputation
Local Foraging Groups: If psilocybin mushrooms grow in your region, connect with a local foraging group. They can help you find the freshest mushrooms and avoid picking the wrong ones
Online Spore Vendors: In many areas, mushroom spores are legal to buy online since they don't contain psilocybin until cultivated.
Remember: Safety first! Always source your shrooms from places with great reviews and a reputation you trust
📅 Organizing Your Microdosing Protocol
So, you’ve got your shrooms, now what? It’s time to get your microdosing game organized!
Microdosing isn’t just about popping a capsule whenever you feel like it; it’s all about consistency.
I’m rolling with the Fadiman Protocol, and it’s been a solid approach. Here’s how it works:
You take your microdose on day one, then chill out for two days (no dosing).
On day four, you’re back at it with another microdose, and you keep that cycle going for about 8 weeks.
The beauty of this method is that it’s designed to let you enjoy that sweet “two-day afterglow” that many folks (myself included) experience after a dose.
Once you’ve completed an 8-week cycle, it’s time to hit pause and take a two-week break.
This gives your system a chance to reset, and it helps prevent any tolerance from building up.
After the break, you can jump right back into the protocol
Why not dose every day, you ask? Well, with psychedelics like psilocybin, your body builds up tolerance super quickly.
Dosing daily would just water down the effects, which isn’t what we’re after.
Now, to keep everything on track, I highly recommend using a calendar, app, or just a good old notebook to log your dosing days and track how you’re feeling.
Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
Not only does it help you stay consistent, but it also makes it way easier to spot any patterns in your mood, creativity, or overall vibe. 📖
Preparing Your Psilocybin Doses
When it comes to microdosing, precision is key. You want to make sure you’re taking the right amount every time
Steps to prepare your doses:
Dry your shrooms completely
Grind them into a fine powder
Weigh out your doses using a scale that measures in milligrams (0.1 to 0.3 grams)
Capsule it for easy use, or portion it to mix into a drink/food
Getting your dose just right ensures that you’ll get all the benefits without any surprises
🌟 Effects of Microdosing Shrooms
Now for the fun part—what can you expect to feel when you microdose? Microdosing shrooms isn’t about seeing wild visuals or losing track of time
It’s more like this:
Enhanced focus and creativity
Improved mood and emotional balance
Heightened senses (colors, music, and even your morning coffee might hit differently!)
For me, microdosing days feel like everything is just a little bit brighter. My patience goes up, my stress goes down, and I’m just more in tune with everything around me 🌍
Also, microdosing is appearing to have long-term effects on people, according to the microdose.me study.
Making people's brains more powerful at everyday tasks.
🍵 Ways to Microdose Psychedelic Mushrooms
There are a few different ways you can take your microdose, depending on what works best for you
Popular methods:
Capsules: If you prefer a more discreet and precise approach, you can pack your microdose into capsules.
Raw: Just weigh out your dose and eat it. Simple, but not always the tastiest
Tea: Steep your dose in hot water for about 10-15 minutes. Add honey or lemon for flavor 🍋🍯
📈 Tracking Your Progress
If you’re serious about microdosing, tracking your progress is a must. Keep tabs on how you’re feeling, both mentally and physically, so you can tweak your protocol if needed
Tools to track:
Journals
Apps
I’m a big fan of journaling, but I also gotta mention the microdose.me study that’s doing some amazing stuff with data collection.
Paul Stamets, the mushroom legend, talked about it on the Joe Rogan Experience.
I caught that episode, and it really opened my eyes to how tracking and sharing your microdosing experience can benefit the larger community. 🌍
