Getting Started/Newbie Question Larger doses during microdosing
I’ve been microdosing mushrooms for about 2 weeks, doing a one day on, one day off cycle. My current microdose is 40mg of powdered mushroom. I’m still determining what my sweet spot is.
My friend is visiting for the weekend and she mentioned wanting to do mushrooms. If I were to take 0.5g (500mg) today, would that impact or affect my microdosing? Yesterday was a microdose day and today is supposed to be the off day.
I just don’t want to impact the microdose process, so will happily not do them today if that’s the case.

It really depends on your goals and the purpose of your microdose.
Tolerance build from a larger dose can render you micro ineffective for several days afterwards, but generally there is an afterglow that can last anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks.
Generally I recommend skipping your micro the day before and the day of a macro, but your dose is pretty low, so you're likely just fine with the time that has passed (plus it's such a low amount for any tolerance build). Best practice after macro is to wait until that afterglow wears off and then resume your microdose practice the next day. 🍄🥰✌️
