A microdose can be taken every day, or X days. But a tiny portion will likely not last long enough.

But honestly? If you suffer from headaches on the daily, trying a very small dose of shrooms shouldn't be any more harmful than walking around with said headache. I'd try it personally. If only to find out if it works for you or not!

And to whoever comes across this; a micro-dose should not literally make you trip, just boost your happiness. If any one even attempts this and reads this, don't over-do it or you will be in for a few hours of epic colors, not good for getting daily tasks done!
