has anyone experimented with taking a second microdose on the fadiman method dose day? ( 2 days off, dose, then 2 days off) I'm only at 0.1 grams since either the variety I have is very potent or I'm very sensitive, as 0.35g on this mushrooms makes me experience a mini trip. Just wondering if it made no difference or it carried ypu thru the evening. I sometimes have experienced a mild tired and done with the day effect around 6 or 7 in the evening when i take my dose around 10 am.

The fear of death can be a heavy burden, often stemming from our belief that our identity is solely linked to our physical bodies. However, through the practice of microdosing LSD, we can cultivate a deeper awareness of our consciousness and unlock insights that transform our relationship with life and death. By integrating these experiences into our daily lives, we can begin to realize our true nature as eternal beings, diminishing the fear of mortality and embracing a more expansive understanding of existence.

Microdosing involves taking sub-perceptual doses of LSD, which allows individuals to experience the benefits of the substance without the intense psychedelic effects. This practice can enhance creativity, improve mood, and foster a sense of connection to oneself and the universe. As we engage in microdosing, we can create a gentle, ongoing exploration of consciousness that helps us recognize the transient nature of thoughts and fears, including the fear of death. Over time, these insights can help reframe our understanding of mortality.

As microdosers, we may find ourselves more open to exploring deep existential questions and the nature of consciousness. This openness can lead to realizations that our true essence extends beyond our physical form. Many who have embraced microdosing report feelings of interconnectedness with all life and a greater understanding of the cycles of existence. By fostering an awareness of our eternal nature, we can start to view death not as a final destination, but as a natural transition—an integral part of the ongoing journey of consciousness.

With continued microdosing, the insights gained can help diminish the grip of death-related anxiety. When we recognize that our consciousness is not confined to our physical bodies, we cultivate a profound sense of peace and acceptance. This awareness liberates us from the paralyzing fear of death, allowing us to live with a renewed sense of purpose. We begin to appreciate life in its fullness, savoring each moment and understanding that we are part of something much larger and timeless.

Additionally, microdosing encourages us to engage more deeply with our daily experiences. Instead of being preoccupied with the fear of what comes after death, we become more present and connected to our lives. Each moment can be seen as an opportunity for joy, love, and discovery, reminding us of the beauty of existence. This practice can enhance our overall well-being, leading to a more fulfilling life as we embrace our eternal nature.

In conclusion, microdosing LSD can be a valuable tool for transcending the fear of death by fostering a deeper connection with our true essence as eternal consciousness. Through gentle exploration and heightened awareness, we can gain insights that transform our understanding of life and death. By recognizing our nature as timeless beings, we empower ourselves to live authentically and joyfully, free from the shackles of existential fear.

I’m scared shitless of encountering entities, I just want relief from my OCD and Depression, not end up encountering a jester or whatever, that’d really scare me. Can someone please reassure me that won’t happen, i am thinking of taking a high dose too, which isn’t micro dosing, but need it to heal. 10g of truffles or above. Please help, I’ve booked my tickets to Amsterdam and everything, I need any hope I can cling on to.

A lot of times I’ve noticed that even the next day after the effects have worn off, I’ll still be be up staring at things that seem more vivid before, like the colors of leaves, light reflecting on water droplets on my watch, etc. Is it just that I got used to noticing those things while I was feeling the effects, or are those lingering effects?

Is this a common occurrence with MD or does it indicate that it is not for me? Thanks.

I take 250 mg p. Natalensis three days a week. Can I try tripping with 1 or 2 gm?

I want to try microdosing - I have Golden Teachers 50mg capsules. I have PMDD, which means that I experience symptoms in the luteal (post ovulation phase) of my cycle. I'm already in my luteal phase and wanted to try whilst in follicular, but somehow, this entire month has been quite challenging for me - lower energy, mood, higher stress, but largely due to many life changes.

I'm wondering how you microdose - do you always take it first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach? Do you take your regular supplements and medication?

My main complaints during luteal phase are: fatigue, anxiety, loss of confidence and self esteem, overthinking. PMDD is often linked to trauma and many people seem to experience relief with microdosing, for whatever reason. I'm wondering how best to approach it. I am currently staying with family, so am not sure whether I should go outside for a walk when I take the microdose, to be alone for a bit. It's getting colder and colder here, but should be possible for a walk. In general, I try to do different "brain retraining" practises to rewire pathways. I'm wondering whether anyone has found something to help with the microdosing experience.

Should I avoid making social plans for the evening or is it likely to wear off by then?

I feel cautious because I did a macrodose years ago and had a very, very challenging trip. However, the set and setting were not ideal. I just want to ensure that I'm in a better headspace this time.

I'm also keto, which I hear can amplify the effects! I could make sure to have black pepper on hand, in case?

Thanks!

Edit: I usually feel a lot more negative in the morning upon waking and start to feel better 1-2 hours after waking and after breakfast. Perhaps I should wait until feeling better in order to try? Alternatively, I have thought about trying it in the presence of someone with whom I feel very positive and safe, so perhaps this could help? Although I haven't told them about the microdosing plans.

Hey team, I'm planning microdosing soon and just wanted a general consensus on how this would affect things. I take 150mg of Wellbutrin every morning, but since I plan on dosing tonight I did not take it this morning. I plan on MICRO microdosing (starting very small and working my way up eventually). Can anyone give me insight as to how these two things would interact?

Hello dear community I’m in a point almost two years where my mind and thoughts is literally killing me every minute and every day I feel like my mind and my brain is my prison all the time only bad thoughts loop every minute it’s so so hard I tried everything possible.

it’s like I have a wall inside my mind and I’m stuck in it , vortex of non stoping bad feeling and thoughts, does anyone can relate to this and say if microdosing helped in like feeling relief from unstoppable impossible endless thoughts that make u suffer every single minute?? 🙏🙏

Please give me some hope because I tried everything possible medication meditation exercises everything u can think off

Going to start microdosing today. What percent of typical dried mushroom powder is actually psilocybin? I'd like to consume a very small dose of psilocybin to start out but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. I've got the powdered mushrooms (penis envy), the scales and the capsules at the ready. Cheers

Welcome to the community.

We have a huge problem. Vulnerable people here are being robbed daily by private message offers to sell illegal substances. Simply do not trust private message offers regardless of how good it sounds. These are professional con men and thieves.

​

A Cautionary Tale: Recently we were informed by one of our users that they had been scammed out of hundreds of dollars by another user purporting to be a vendor. This "vendor" had set up a fake company website to take payment for a product they would then never receive.

If somebody offers to supply controlled substances to you through Reddit then be wary, as this is a very common scam. Try not to fall for vague marketing posts that advertise these products. A legitimate vendor would most likely not need to advertise through Reddit so take it as a red flag.

The private messages that recommend Instagram contacts as sources should be seen as scam attempts. Adjusting your Messages settings to not allow messages from accounts that are less than 30 days old will eliminate most of them.

Best to assume every private message offering illegal drugs is an attempt to separate you from your money.

I have decided to try microdosing 🍄 after taking antidepressants and antipsychotics for over a year and nothing is helping (if anything i feel worse). The dose that I am taking is in 150 mg (capsules). Planning on doing 1 day on 2 days off.

For context, I had a bad experience with weed 1.5 yrs ago that sent me into a deep psychosis / DPDR. I’ve tried going to a therapist and multiple psychiatrists but I’ve only been prescribed big pharma medicines, which I don’t believe are very helpful (Zoloft, Klonopin, Abilify).

The reason why I am starting to microdose is to feel more grounded with myself and hopefully get back in touch with my life and those around me. I feel like I don’t have much to lose at this point and am very desperate to try anything. Do you think microdosing will help?

I’ve tried to learn as much as I can about microdosing and it seems to help anxiety / despression which is what triggered my bad experience with weed. Let me know what you think.

Rule #1 is No Sourcing or Drug Solicitation. We cannot discuss specific companies where illegal substances are offered.

The safest and best way for most to enjoy the benefits of mushrooms is to learn to grow and process them using legal products. At first glance it seems overwhelming but after taking the time to learn about the process and actually following with hands on learning, it becomes clear it's really not that complicated. And the benefits of knowing how to grow gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, while avoiding the risks of scams, contamination, or worse, is empowering.

Here is a simple but effective way to grow your own medicine. For less than $100 you could grow and process two years of personal microdosing medicine and actually extend that into many years by ongoing colonization. All the supplies are completely legal in most areas. Shroomscout’s Official “Easiest Way to Learn Mushroom Growing with Ready Rice Tek”

Long story short I began microdosing at the beginning of October. I had only had 3 dosing days and I felt like complete shit. I thought I was having a terrible reaction but I ended up testing positive for covid so I stopped microdosing for 10 days. I started microdosing again last week. I have had a total of 5 dosing days this round & all of a sudden I am starting to feel sick again. I have body aches, chills, fatigue, and a sore throat. This is NOT normal for me at all. I am usually very healthy & only get sick maybe once a year.

So I'm wondering does this have anything to do with the microdosing? Is it messing with my immune system? Is my body trying to fight the mushrooms so I'm more easily susceptible to illness? Or is this just the biggest coincidence ever? I'm really trying to decide if this is my body telling me it's not happy with what I'm doing to it.

I (33F) have been thinking about starting microdosing for a while now. I have had on and off depression since my teens. Tried lots of different antidepressants too, but I'm not currently taking any. I am curious about microdosing and have done lots of research and the results other people seem to get is promising.

I believe I am a highly sensitive and emotional person. Whilst I have never tried shrooms before, I am very sensitive to THC and can suffer from adverse effects, ie paranoia, fath heart rate etc, if I accidentally consume too much.

Realistically I want to avoid any kinds of these effects from shrooms and the idea of it scares me.

My question is about dosing. Would 10mg or 0.01g be considered too low to start out? I have heard PE is much stronger than other types.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I always used to be scared of psychedelics. Always been into stimulants (coke, pills, alcohol).

I'm fed up of it now, all my addictions ruined my life. Anxiety, depression etc.

Used to do a lot of meditation back in the day but then stopped...

So some shit happened in my life recently and I decided to give up on my addictions, bought myself a growbox of B+ mushrooms.

Also started taking 0.5g of Amanita muscaria 2 weeks ago and see an improvement in my mental health.

My question is, once I harvest my crops in around 2 weeks time. How much B+ should I be taking? Anybody else tried this strain before for microdosing and has any tips for me?

I chose the B+ as apparently they are on the milder end.

P.S. I'm back to meditation now, and away to start working out at the gym from next week.

Thanks guys

Welcome to the community.

It is important we understand and state these microdose figures correctly so we and others aren't just throwing a dart at dosing amounts. So here is a quick guide for dried psilocybin mushrooms. It's important to note where the zeros and decimal points are.

Grams and Milligrams

1.0g (gram) = 1,000 mg (milligrams) (Low level tripping dose)

0.5g = 500mg

0.25g = 250mg (Higher level microdosing)

0.10g = 100mg

0.050g = 50mg (Good starting level)

0.025g = 25mg

0.010g = 10mg

The weighed measurement is a way to establish a relative point we can accurately adjust from, if needed. The amount of psilocybin varies even between batches of the same strain. But by starting any new or unknown batch low, we can safely adjust up or down to find our sweet spot. Our sweet spot is not based entirely on the weight of the substance but on our system reaction to the substance. The weight gives us a starting point.

For psilocybin mushroom powder and truffles, the way to weigh for the proper weight is with a jewelry scale measuring at the 0.000g level. These are around $20+- online and should be considered a necessary basic tool for microdosing.

A typical microdose range for psilocybin mushroom is 50-300mg. Some use more, some use less. Liberty caps are about twice as potent as the Cubensis this range is loosely based on. Starting at the lower end for a couple of days to weeks is a good practice.

Truffles

FAQ/Tip 011: How to microdose truffles? "Considering that a recreational dose of truffles is about 10 g of fresh truffles, a microdose would equal 1 g of fresh truffles. As fresh truffles consist of two thirds of water, this results in a weight of 0.33g (330mg) of dried truffles. [2] "

LSD

FAQ/Tip 009: Why cutting LSD tabs is not an accurate way to microdose? Variation in Potency; Preparation: Volumetric Dosing, Gel Tabs, FAQs; Storage: Blotter, Liquid; Dosage; Schedule; Bioavailability of LSD analogues vs. LSD-25.

Hi I’m super sensitive to meds and supplements. Started microdosing fresh truffles. First couple of doses were too high and I felt dreadful with extreme anxiety. Had a break and then went super low 0.1g and dosed a couple of times in the week. Anxiety was quite high but I then increased a tiny amount on the 3rd dose and found the first day was ok and quite calm. But the days proceeding I felt like I had a hangover and anxiety was sky high. It’s taken over a week to slowly lower the anxiety. I’m taking this for healing and not to reach a state. Even with a few doses I feel stuff has come up in a good way. I was in anti depressants for many years and came off them 6 months ago. I feel like there is a build up as I dose over the days. I dosed 3 times in a week and a half and the anxiety and restlessness and headache got worse over that period. I know some people do not get on with MD and I would love to try a macro dose at a retreat but wondering if this would not be a great idea because I’m so sensitive to Md. anyone else super sensitive? Thank you

Looking into microdosing, but had a question if Psilocybin is required. I have seen non-psilocybin gummies/bars options, but compared to magic shrooms, do you get similar benefits?

Does anyone have any experience with it?

It's long lasting, easy body load, sounds like a good candidate

This is very interesting development in the comparison between traditional pharma and natural medicine for treating depression.

Hello friends! I was gifted some micro dosing capsules on february of 2023, containing lion mane and i believe a little of niacin. I had some trouble starting to take them mainly because of my mental state so I’ve had them stored in the little jar they came with, it is now october 2024 and i feel i am ready to start microdosing, however im unsure if i am able to use the same capsules or if i should find new ones? how long can they be stored or how long do they last? will i have any complications with them or the worst that can happen is them losing their pontency? Thank you!! <3

Hi,

The guide suggests waiting 1-2 days after placing the blotters in distilled water before ingestion. Has anyone tried ingesting sooner than that?

I have been taking some microdose pills an hour or so before my triggers occur for drinking, and it has been helping. I was wondering if anyone else around here had been treating their alcohol cravings with microdoses.
