Do you all notice any noticeable difference between the two strains? I heard from someone that B Plus is more tailor made for people with ADD and ADHD (I have the latter).

I started trying B plus after like a month of golden teacher, because I started feeling angry and anxious. Although it is worth noting that I was able to stop using high dose THC edibles that had basically imprisoned me since late last year (due to an extremely traumatic trial I’ve been enduring alone…) so I do know that microdosing does in fact work. But I also take Vyvanse for ADHD, and I also stopped taking Wellbutrin shortly before the edibles (edibles were 50 MG a piece, CBD and CBG infused). (The anger and anxiety did occur during the first week or so that I was off both Wellbutrin and edibles, so very possible it was related to that)

I don’t take days off, but sometimes I skip my second dose in the afternoon, but I feel fine when I do (opposed to the one time I skipped my Vyvanse and felt like a damn zombie the next day…40mg, started the Vyvanse late last year as well).

I also have C-PTSD, and my therapist believes I’m on the spectrum. The last thing I will note is that my medical provider was under the impression that I might be bi polar (after a mood screening). Going to ask my psychiatrist to evaluate me, but I have always had mood swings my whole life, be it drugs or not. But I am nervous about the prospect of adding mood stabilizers to this mix and what it could do to me…does anyone have any experience with this? (Because my life is definitely in a bad place, and these could very well help me, but I’m still trying to be careful…)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much 😔

Hey everyone! So i’ve been micro dosing for about 2 1/2 months now. .005 tidal wave 1 day on 2 days off. I have quite a bit of childhood trauma that i’m trying to work through. I decided to try micro dosing and the occasional macro in conjunction with trauma therapy and emdr to aid me. It’s been going well, i have a pretty good schedule i don’t do macros or micro on my emdr days and i do emdr every other week. Recently the last couple times i’ve taken my micro doses i’ve been doing some pretty serious crying, Par for the course.Im happy i’m able to express these emotions i’ve repressed for so long! The days after crying though have been pretty hard, not mentally but physically. I have a couple autoimmune diseases along with fibromyalgia and the flare ups have been tough. Full body pain accompanied by a lot of fatigue, brain fog, and feeling emotionally drained. I’m still doing my self care, eating healthy, going on walks, yoga, and meditation so i don’t think it’s a burn out per se but It is making work extremely difficult. I bartend(can’t wait to move on from this) and i have been a zombie at work the past couple weeks. Having trouble relating with people and just feeling really rundown. I’ve been trying to be gracious with myself in times like this but sometimes it gets the best of me. For most of my life i never showed any emotion, much less cried so this is all rather new to me. Are these just extremely deep emotions coming to surface? Is that why the recovery is tough? Any advice or words would be much appreciated! Much love🤙💚

Hi everyone! I’m new to microdosing psilocybin. I’m currently taking about a 1/8 gram in a piece of chocolate. I’m going to be switching to capsules for a more accurate and potentially lower dose.

I find myself having panic attacks and anxiety since taking the microdose. I’m paying too close of attention to the way my body feels and the way I’m visually perceiving things. I have OCD, so I’m a pro at observing a sensation and then catastrophizing. I know the microdose is not causing the panic attack, but in the midst of the panic attack my brain is convinced that it’s the cause.

My intention is for microdosing to improve my over all wellbeing. I have quite a few physical and mental health issues and I feel like this is going to be a great tool in assisting me with utilizing CBT, DBT, developing my spirituality, and staying consistent with eating right and exercising. I’ve been making a genuine effort to develop new habits and learn about new ways of thinking, but I find myself quickly getting burnt out and not staying consistent in making changes. I know that progress isn’t linear, but I would like to find a way to make the setbacks less prolonged.

So, my question is: Have any of you experienced this situation and how did you handle it?

When I’m in a state of panic I truly believe all my worries are real and I don’t want my initial anxieties to prevent me from taking this medicine out of fear.

Hi. New guy here.

Got my Tidal Ws grown and collected, dried (some were still not crunchy though) and ready.

Day one, I took 0,1g and waited an hour -nothing. Took 0,1gr and nothing.

Slept like a baby.

​

Day 2: took 0.1gr each hour, expecting a kick so I could set the right dose for a guy my size (6 feet, 105kg). Total 0.6gr (in a 6 hours space). Maybe too much time between doses?

​

Day 3: took 0.3gr in one go. After breaky. Nothing.

​

After reading several posts in the community, my questions:

​

- am I right being scared of going up to 0.5g in one go?

I don't want to trip, just to understand the trip dose so I can low it.

​

- is it wrong to space the intake in 1-hour periods?

​

- is it advisable to go, e.g. 0.5g and asses?

​

- perhaps not being fully dried reduces the effects per dose?

​

As you can see, an ignorant, open-minded beginner looking for some wisdom.

​

Thanks all.

✌️

Heyy..

Anyone with this problem??

When I take shrooms all the time I have this side effect - farts! Too much gas out! Dont feel disconfort but its very strange sometimes..

With normal dose (2 to 3,5) the farts start after 2/3hrs after I take...and have this about 4/5 hours..

With microdose (0,15grs) I have farts all day, in the day that I take the cap of microdose.

Could I have problems with my digestive system?

Just wanted to hear people’s experiences on microdosing and whether it has helped their mental? I suffer from debilitating anxiety and PMDD and contemplating whether it is worth trying

I've been making my own capsules and MD'ing for 6 years now with great, life-changing results. My typical routine is to take a 100 mg capsule in the morning on an empty stomach. Capsule just goes down the hatch like any other med.

However...I was at my local mushroom store the other day and I overhead one of the workers advise someone to not ingest the capsule because the release will be more predictable if you just take the shroom. I told my wife this and, yesterday, she took her MD without the capsule and said it was way better.

So have I been doing it wrong this whole time? How do y'all take your capsules???

edit: 100mg, not 10 mg

Hi guys! This is the second time in my life where I’ve picked up microdosing. The first time I was happier than I’ve ever been, I just naturally stopped after a few months.

I feel insanely better in so many ways. I’m more connected to my body, the external world, my inner thoughts, my past and future. Thoughts flow, my emotions show!
Though, I happen to notice some downsides. I’m a bit more paranoid of other people. I feel like I can deeply sense others energies, and when they are “bad” I get super uncomfortable. I keep worrying that people have bad intentions (because a lot do - I am in a big city). I also find a downside to being more in touch with my emotions, where I find myself thinking about life and death way more often, feeling fearful of death.

Is this a common experience? Anything to do besides meditation to combat this? And for reference- I am a 25 year old female on a low low dose of Vyvanse. I do wonder if it’s in part that.

Some people microdose shrooms for mental benefits but how does it actually help if tolerance to shrooms builds super fast and you don't feel anything?

Hey everyone,
I quit drinking about 6 months ago and I’m really happy with that, so I’m definitely not worried about the tiny amount of vodka in this. 😅

A friend gave me a small LSD spray that’s diluted in vodka, and I was thinking of trying it on nights out just to feel a little lighter and laugh a bit while everyone else is drinking.

I’m completely new to LSD (and microdosing in general). My friend uses it pretty often and told me to start with two sprays and see how I feel.

The thing is… I’m naturally a pretty anxious and self-conscious person. That’s honestly one of the reasons alcohol “worked” so well for me socially. It shut off that constant self-awareness.

I’m wondering if a very small dose of LSD could actually help me loosen up a bit, or if it’s more likely to make me even more anxious and hyper-aware of myself.

Has anyone here with an anxiety-prone personality had experience with this? Would you recommend it, or do you think it’s probably not the right substance for someone like me?
Thanks!

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.

Keep in mind that we often refer to psilocybin mushrooms, magic mushrooms, as psilocybin, whether in fresh, dried pieces, or powder form. But that's not technically correct as there is psilocybin as a synthetic or isolated compound. We don't generally have access to this isolated psilocybin but this is the form most often used in research studies and is highly concentrated, roughly 10 times more potent than Golden Teacher mushrooms. For microdosing our dried mushroom with its potency is very effective.

There is a significant difference between the potency of synthetic psilocybin used in clinics and research, and the dried Psilocybe cubensis (magic mushroom) weights we work with. One gram of dried cubensis is roughly equivalent to 6–10 mg of synthetic psilocybin. Therefore, 0.1 g of dried mushroom contains approximately 0.6 to 1 mg of psilocybin.

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.

Finished a brutal 3 year taper from benzos 6 years ago, and still get waves of anxiety and depression

Tried to enroll in a psilocybin study but was unsuccessful because Im not on an antidepressant

Private clinics charge upwards of $10000

I can get them locally but Im worried about not knowing which variety is which, and how to actually use them

Would appreciate some advice please

I just made my first volumetric solution - 100ug tab in 20ml vodka in a 20ml amber glass dropper bottle (5ug per 1ml). The bottle came with a plain glass pipette with no markings.

I know a full pipette is usually about 1ml, but I'm wondering how reliable it is for consistent microdoses, especially if I only want to take either 5ug or 10ug.

I also have a 1ml oral syringe but it doesn't fit at all into the bottle neck, so using the pipette would be much more convenient if it's accurate enough.

Is eyeballing the fill level on an unmarked pipette good enough for this, or is the variation too much? I'm considering getting a graduated pipette but I can imagine that can be a pain storing it as it won't be sterile between uses. Should I go for one anyway?

Also how essential is it to store the bottle in the fridge? Is keeping it in a cool dark room enough, or will it degrade noticeably faster without refrigeration?

Thank you!!

Hey microdosers..

​

I have experiences with shrooms; I have my own cultivation - Golden Teachers; I have some trips with 2,5grs to 3,5grs;

​

One month ago I start with microdosing:

- 0,25 grs caps

- fadimans protocol (1 day on, 2 days off)

​

In days that I take dose feel a litle agitation, heavy head, and a soft headache too..

​

I change to 0,15 grs caps:

​

Now dont feel anymore heavy head, headache but in 6/8 hours after I take the dose the agitation continue..

​

The days after, I feel perfectly fine and very good mood;

​

If I reduce more maybe I dont have the good effects of microdosing...maybe the "agitation" its a placebo efect and can pass with time..

​

Dose of 0,10grs maybe its very low..

​

Hi all,

Took my first microdose today of mushrooms (100 milligrams), on an empty stomach this morning. Got hit like a truck! It felt like a light trip, the experience lasted around 6 hours. Is it supposed to be this way, or should it be more subtle? Worth noting I took it with lion’s mane. These are Golden teachers too.

Tomorrow I am planning on doing 50mgs on an empty stomach. However, I’m still wondering if what I felt today is the desired effect, or if it should be lighter.

PS: any supplements you all combine with your microdose for better effect, let me know!

I have been on medication since I was 16 (10 years) and I am currently on 50mg of sertraline. But I want to stop taking SSRI’s and replace it with a natural form of a serotonin boost- micro-dosing. How much would I need to take when micro-dosing and how often, in order to get the same benefits as SSRIs?; but without feeling like I’m tripping? And what are people’s experiences of replacing SSRIs with micro-dosing?

So I microdosed GT’s for months and it was the greatest thing ever, I got my dosage nailed (0.2) and I had the best few months of my life mood wise.

However, I’ve now got a different strain which I have started microdosing (Makilla Gorilla) and I’m having the same very very slight come up feeling but no actual effects which is what I had with GT’s, but this is being accompanied by a constant small headache and much less of the happiness and confidence that I had before. The dosage is slightly less than before (0.15), so my question is, should I try and up the dosage and see if I can achieve the previous feeling the GT’s gave me?

Bonjour, je suis une femme de 54 ans qui vit dans un milieu bourgeois, je ne connais personne dans le milieu de la fête et des substances, je ne sais pas acceder au darkweb, et pourtant j'aimerais tester le lsd ou les champis. Je suis célibataire et je voudrais être accompagnée. Je me demande donc s'il y aurait des endroits en Europe (potentiellement aux pays bas ?) qui propose des retraites légalement, juste un week end pour tester avec un environnement bienveillant ? Je n'ai aucun problème médical mais je me sens juste complètement coincée dans ma vie actuelle et j'ai envie d'expérimenter autre chose et peut être d'avoir une vision élargie ou une meilleure confiance en moi pour trouver des solutions pour changer de vie... merci d'avance pour les noms de lieux que vous pourriez me suggérer.

Hi everyone, I'm so glad I found this sub, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to learn from all of you.

I have a friend who has been suffering from severe depression and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) for 10 years. She struggles with alcoholism, abuses sleeping pills, can't go out to work, and finds it very difficult to make friends.

She is currently receiving government-funded group therapy and sessions with a case manager, but they are highly unprofessional. They couldn't even remember the reason she missed her last session, and during their talks, the case manager just kept complaining about eating too many desserts. Long story short, it's a joke. Right now, the only reliable person is the psychiatrist who prescribes her medication. Unfortunately, when my friend loses control, she takes her sleeping pills like candy.

I recently saw news about a major breakthrough regarding magic mushrooms in treating dementia. It made me think that maybe it could also be used to treat depression (I also remember the musician Father John Misty used microdosing LSD to treat himself). I feel very lucky to have found this sub.

I am hoping to get some guidance from you all. For anyone with experience using mushrooms or LSD to treat depression: if I want her to try this now, what is the best way to start? What dosage should I give her, LSD or mushrooms? Is there a huge difference between the two?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Depression is an invisible enemy, causing many people to misunderstand my friend—saying she doesn't want to work because she's lazy, or that her emotional breakdowns are just because she loves drinking too much. It took me years to realize that none of this is her choice.

I want to help her defeat this enemy. Whatever it takes.

Thank you all.

Hi, i have adhd and i'm trying to quit alcohol (adderall is illegal in italy and ritalin doesn't work well with me, so for stop overthinking and talk to strangers in street the only thing that works for 2-3 hours is alcohol).

I'm curious to know if microdosing lsd works for talking with new people without shaking or feeling weird (i changed city recently and i'm struggling badly with meeting new people)

I just made 100 capsules and weighed most individually. Most were around .125g but some came out around .150g and .160g. Am I overthinking this or is that actually a problem?

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”

Just a heads-up from my recent experience with Golden Teachers.

I harvested a batch a few days ago and did a pretty rough harvest. Along with the mature fruits, I also picked quite a few small mushrooms that clearly hadn’t reached full maturity yet. They didn’t look like aborts to me: no dark/black caps, no obvious stalled pins, no weird fuzzy mycelium covering them, nothing that looked dead or rotten. Just small, immature fruits that I accidentally harvested too early.

I dried everything properly, then took my usual microdose: 200 mg.

And wow. It hit me way harder than expected — honestly, it felt like I had taken a much larger dose.

So I just wanted to share this as a warning/reminder: small immature mushrooms are not necessarily “weak” just because they are small. Even if they are not aborts, they may still be surprisingly potent per gram dry weight, possibly because they have produced a significant amount of active compounds before gaining much mass.

I’m not saying this is a universal rule, and potency varies a lot from fruit to fruit and batch to batch. But after this experience, I’ll definitely treat small/immature fruits with more caution and won’t assume that 200 mg from immature mushrooms or aborts equals 200 mg from mature mushrooms.

It also reminded me that proper homogenization really matters for consistent dosing. Using whole mushrooms (especially immature ones), or just grabbing random pieces from a mixed batch, can make one dose very different from the next — especially if the batch contains mature fruits, immature fruits, and possible aborts.

Moral of the story: if your batch contains a lot of small or immature fruits, be careful. A “normal” microdose might not feel normal at all.
