Micro Dosing Mushrooms

What’s your microdosing amount and cadence?

I've been micro-dosing weekly since early this July after reading a post on the H/F board. I have been buying online in capsules. Every (F/Sa/Su/M) I take 200 mg and refrain on (Tu/W/Th), 4 on / 3 off. The effect is subtle, but I do notice that I am much calmer in social settings with little to no anxiety. I am less irritable and enjoy almost every day that I take them. I've also become more productive, finding it much easier to get through and finish my to-do lists. Surprisingly, my Tuesdays are also good and calm, there must be some type of after-effect sensation.

I'll never stop advocating for it. I'll be more "honest" in this thread as I was trying to be very PG in mine as I didn't want the thread whacked. It completely changed my life. I grow them, I seldom used the bags I mentioned in that thread, if you do, only use about 1-1.5mL not the 3-5 they say, too much causes contamination b/c of the liquid. Look up PF Tek.

It's easy to grow overall and doesn't have to be a big operation. If buying online just use a legit source, I unfortunately no longer know.

In reality, unlike my thread, I do fully trip about once a month (I lied in my thread about it) and I do for sure take more than 2 grams, but 2 grams is a common amount I take for a trip, sometimes I'll take more but I honestly don't weigh my stuff anymore.

I do microdose 1-2 times a week, wife does the pill thing with them. I just break some off and eat it. I drank nearly 1/5 of whiskey a night for years, popped xanax almost every day. Getting on shrooms didn't stop it overnight, but within a a month or so, suddenly I'm not finishing my 1/5. Then after a couple months I'm buying pints, then no longer finishing that up.

Honestly, wife and I had some good moments on trips and got deep down in my memory bank and I was able to accept things in life, forgive myself, and others. However it worked, now I may have a couple drinks a month and just don't care for it as much. It did not help my dipping habit.

Microdosing does make me very happy, good mood, etc. If not wanting to trip, just microdose, try it out. Supposedly if you are on SSRI's it won't do much. Also if you are schizophrenic, bipolar, it could have a bad effect on you.

When I went on vacation or out of town and forgot xanax, or ran out of alcohol and didn't have a way to get some I'd panic. 2 years ago I went on vacation and forgot shrooms, wasn't a big deal at all. You don't rely on them, just do it 1,2, or 3 times a week, shite 2 is plenty. Do some research on it with effects on your brain, interesting stuff. Not addictive, when I do a big trip, I go a week or 2 without eating any at all. No problems. Yes, maybe I could stop, but I love the good moods, looking at people almost at their raw form, I can get beneath and around the "make-up" they fake their lives with and see their true selves. I'm also more focused. Love it.

Good luck

I'd like to add about schedule 35. I've never used them, after researching it from my thread I listened to a podcast from the owner. They do put a slow release in those microdose pills. If you're getting say 200mg over 24 hours, it's definitely going to be subtle at best, but may still be a benefit. If you eat 200mg off a dried shroom, you are going to actually be able to tell a big difference. That 200mg is going to hit you in an hour and last 4-5, the effects after a microdose or a trip are many times even better. I'm actually usually in an even better mood the following day.

Interesting. I may try this method. I'm still trying to figure out the right dosages for me. For micro-dosing and for a "good time" dose.

I had been using capsules, but switched to the dried caps and stems recently.

Highly unlikely. Basically has to be a test designed specifically to detect psilocybin. Even then, I’m pretty sure that it metabolizes into your system and disappears pretty dang quickly.

What are you using instead of grain bags? Or do you mean you aren’t doing the full grow in a bag? Just inoculating?

I’m working on my first batch. Have three bags in various stages of inoculation. I used the full 10 cc in each. Time frames to see growth varried wildly.

Should be ready to “plant” the first batch in the mono tub this weekend.

These are medicinal and culinary of course. Lol

There are a ton of sites to order from. They won’t send mushrooms. You can get active spores that you inoculate then grow.

I use PF Tek method, learning more about agar.

Basically this, then I inject liquid spore, about 0.5mL worth in each jar.
