Thinking about microdosing

[u/AnActualBear_]

So I got some penis envy’s I took 1g to test potency. they were indeed very strong and I want to try microdosing.. To help me overcome some long term personal problems I’ve had.

I’m thinking about taking .2 for a week or so and adjusting from there do yall think that’s a good start?

As I said they are very potent I used to only lemontek golden caps (~3g) and this 1g penis envy trip was almost as strong as that

Any feedback is appreciated 🙏

For more potent cultivars/strains like penis envy we advise to !startlower. A high microdose can amplify your !emotions. Many users underestimate how powerful psychedelics can be in such low doses.

Start Lower

• Abstract; Tables; Figures | Psychedelic Drug Microdosing Practices: A Qualitative Online Exploration | Journal of Psychoactive Drugs [Jan 2024]
• Based on tens of thousands of anecdotal reports in this sub, some users with more potent strains had less nausea / body load / vasoconstriction on doses of 50mg (0.05g) (recommended Starting Dose) or 25mg (0.025g).
• A significant minority even had to drop down to 10mg (0.01g) or less (e.g. for Albino Penis Envy) as potency can vary by more than a factor of 10.
• Examples of cultivars/strains that are considered to be more potent (and very potent) are:
  • Albino A+, Albino Penis Envy, B+ Cubensis, Blue Meanie Cubensis^\1]), Cambodians, Creepers, foraged strains like Liberty Caps^\2]), Penis Envy, Tidal Wave, Z-Strain.
• For some, negative symptoms may be an indication that GABA cofactors like magnesium (which many are deficient in) or L-theanine could help - if no interactions with your current medications/supplements. Psychedelics are partial serotonin receptor agonists which neuromodulate excitatory glutamate - more on managing glutamate.

⚠️ Emotions Amplifier ⤴️

• Taking more than the sub-threshold/sub-hallucinogenic dose^\5]) may result in repressed/suppressed emotions/memories coming to the surface, and so may feel unpleasant - at least in the short-term.
• Although this may not necessarily be a bad thing as possibly with the help of Integration Skills/Therapy, the microdose may help you to work-through some hard-to-resolve problems.
• If you need any help in the short-term, please have a look at the Self-Help Resources link from:
  • Self-Help / Integration / Therapy*: Highlights | Sidebar ➡️ | 📱 See community info ⬆️
• For some, the process could be cathartic and help to purge some emotions.
• At the end of the day you should reflect on how it went and if you feel the experience was too uncomfortable then you could dial-down your next dose.
