So how does Microdosing really work?
What is Microdosing?
Microdosing is consuming small amounts of a psychedelic compound, typically in the range of 50 – 500mg. The goal is not to “get high”, rather to experience the subtle effects of your medicine of choice in order to unlock its benefits.
Psilocybin, the active ingredient compound in magic mushrooms, can help boost creativity, increase focus and productivity, and provide more awareness of self. When paired with other nootropic mushrooms, microdosing psilocybin can offer a wide range of benefits catered to our daily lives.
Approaches to Microdosing
We are big believers in personalized integration. Despite approaches to microdosing that have become more popular in recent years, ultimately your approach to microdosing should be what works best for your lifestyle. Whether it be dosing before exercising to find more energy and focus on your routine, dosing on a nature walk to help you take it all in, connecting more with a lover or substituting a microdose for a tequila shot during a night out on the town.
For first time microdosers, it is recommended you are in a comfortable and familiar place with a positive mindset. Overtime you will gauge your own receptiveness to microdosing before fully incorporating into your life and potentially increasing your daily dosage.
