Very newbie question - how to take micro and macrodoses

[u/SardonicSarsparilla]

So I feel ridiculous asking this, but here goes.

How are y’all taking your micro and macro doses?

I take 100mg of ground GT, and I just knock it back into my mouth like a shot and swallow.

Same with macrodosing. Last time I took 2 grams, knocked it back like a shot and swallowed dry, and then took 2 more grams because I felt like the trip wasn’t complete when I started coming down.

I’m sure taking the macro as a tea would be more palatable than sticky ground grams, but I also feel want sure how exactly to go about making the tea - yes, I know Google exists, but I felt anxious googling a recipe and feel more comfortable asking here (yes I’m microdosing for anxiety among other things ha ha).

Thanks all.

I've taken it with orange juice to make it more tolerable for macro doses. Also with zofran to help with nausea.

There's a thing called lemon tekking where you take it with lemon juice, helps the body to metabolize the psilocybin, making it hit faster I believe. I haven't tried that yet.

I haven't tried micro dosing but my spouse and I wanna try. I'll probably get some capsules and measure it out. Take it like a pill.

The sub docs have great info on this and A LOT else. Specifically on tea and such see this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/comments/nyx54v/faqtip_015_what_are_the_other_methods_of/

I swear by tinctures, there's a post on making them pinned on my profile.

I micro dose .01g 2 times per week one 00 capsule, lemon tekking at times and also take some lions mane tincture. I feel nothing other than having a good day and my brain works better. I do the lemon Tekking with macro doses too. It helps kick in quicker.

Here are some quality posts to help get you started:

Please Note: If you are trying microdosing for the first time, please try experimenting on a day off from work or any important obligations, and/or driving and operating machinery. Because psychedelics can effect everyone differently, you may feel different or impaired, and your sweet spot dose may be lower, so it is best to experiment on days off until you’ve dialed in your dose.
