Why Microdose?
Microdosing Psilocybin, consuming tiny, undetectable amounts, unlocks a world of potential benefits—enhanced focus, meticulous attention, elevated mood, and so much more! It’s the ideal way to elevate your daily routine without hitching a psychedelic trip smack in the middle of your day.
Mastering the Microdose: Tips and Tactics
No single magic formula fits all when it comes to microdosing magic mushrooms. What works best is what works for you! Below, you’ll discover the three most commonly accepted microdosing schedules. But first, a few nuggets of wisdom:
- Avoid microdosing daily to maintain the effects and prevent building a tolerance.
- Take your microdose in the morning to relish the benefits without disrupting your night’s sleep.
- Carve out time to unwind for your maiden microdose. Just in case your plans go a bit further than expected and you find yourself on an unexpected trip, it’s wise to be in a comfortable space.
- After your microdose, note down how you feel; it might come in handy when you adjust your dosage next time.
Microdosing Protocols
Fadiman Method
Microdose every third day
Take a microdose, then rest for two days. Observe the lingering afterglow on the second and third day to guide your next microdose. Loop this schedule every week.
The wisdom behind it
James Fadiman, seasoned psychedelic researcher and author of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide, designed this pattern based on data from his research. Fadiman observed that the microdosing effects persisted for up to two days, enhancing functionality even after the psychedelics vanished.
Stamets Method
Microdose every day for five days
Daily microdose Monday to Friday, followed by a two-day hiatus. This method is ideal for a boosted mood during the work week.
The wisdom behind it
Paul Stamets, the renowned mycologist and author of Mycelium Running, suggests a five-day dosage rhythm to elevate everyday life but punctuated with breaks to prevent tolerance buildup.
Balance Method
Microdose every other day
Take a microdose one day and rest the next. Include a break every other week to prevent tolerance build-up.
The wisdom behind it
This method is a go-to for its simplicity. Due to the two-day effects of a microdose, you may experience the previous dose’s effects when taking the next one, resulting in a potentially stronger and more noticeable impact.
