Microdosing has gained significant popularity lately, but with a plethora of conflicting information available, it can be challenging to know where to start. Firstly, there is no universally accepted definition of microdosing, as people cannot seem to agree on the ideal dosage. Moreover, since psilocybin is not regulated, there is a considerable potency variance from batch to batch, which can turn a day intended for productive microdosing into a mind-altering experience that leaves you disconnected from the world for 6 hours.
We will cut through all of this noise and outline a clear and concise guide to microdosing psilocybin. Before we do so, let’s begin by covering why Microdosing has become so popular and the benefits you can expect to experience.
Microdosing has been getting more and more attention lately, but with so much conflicting information out there, it can be difficult to figure out where to begin. For starters, there's no one-size-fits-all definition for microdosing, as everyone seems to have their own opinion on the ideal dosage and frequency. Plus, since psilocybin isn't regulated, the potency can vary a lot from batch to batch, turning what was supposed to be a productive day into a six-hour mind-altering experience that leaves you feeling disconnected from the world. But don't worry, I'm here to help cut through the confusion and give you a clear and simple guide to microdosing psilocybin. Now before we get into that, let's talk about why microdosing has become so popular and the benefits you can expect to see.
The Benefits of Microdosing
It is essential to divide the benefits of microdosing into two segments. The first segment includes the immediate benefits that you experience on the day you microdose, while the second segment involves the benefits that you accumulate over time by consistently microdosing for an extended period.
When it comes to the benefits of microdosing, it's helpful to think of them in two parts. First, there are the immediate benefits you experience on the day you microdose, and then there are the benefits that build up over time from consistently microdosing.
Initial Benefits – Whenever you microdose, you should experience increased happiness, enhanced focus, and heightened productivity and creativity, starting 60 minutes after ingestion and lasting for up to 4 to 5 hours.
Long Term Benefits – After consistently microdosing psilocybin for a few weeks, you may begin to notice improvements even on your off days. With continued use, you may experience reduced levels of depression and stress, along with increased creativity, productivity, social ability, focus, analytic thinking, memory, mindfulness, and overall general well-being.
Based on these results, it’s no wonder microdosing has become so popular. Now let’s outline how to do it properly.
How To Microdose
Step 1 – Practice In A Safe Environment: Be cautious about when and how you experiment with microdosing. It's probably not a good idea to try it on a day when you have a major work presentation. Choose a day when you can be at home and have no important responsibilities to give it a try."
Step 2 – Identify A Dosage: We suggest beginning with a dosage of 10mg or 0.1 grams. It's important to note that at this level, the effects of psilocybin should be very mild, to the extent that you might not even realize you've taken it. As the session continues, you will start to experience heightened levels of happiness, improved focus, and increased levels of productivity and creativity.
Step 2B – Dial In This Dosage: Please remember the following: The recommended dose is 10mg, but if you feel that it's too strong, try taking 5mg next time. On the other hand, if you don't feel any benefits and think that you didn't take anything, consider increasing the dose to 15mg next time. Once you find the dose that works best for you, stick with it.
Step 3 – Create A Calendar: The goal is to experience all of the benefits without developing a tolerance. Rarely do we follow conventional wisdom, but in this case, it’s correct. The tried-and-true wisdom of 1 day on, 2 days off is the best way to maximize the effects without building a tolerance.
Step 4 – Personalize Your Program: Once you’ve experimented and are beginning to feel comfortable with the process, personalize it to fit your needs! Maybe mornings are better for you than afternoons or you find microdosing once every 4 days is more effective. The goal is to create a plan that works for you!
