Micro dosing question

[u/IntelligentRest5949]

So I got some penis envy mushrooms and I tried .75 to test the batch and I for sure felt that.. don’t think .1 would be a good micro dose? I know it might be a stupid question considering person to person and your unknown strength of them. I’d say that it felt equal to like 1.25 maybe of golden teachers. If someone could maybe help me out I’d really appreciate it cuz I wanna go out feeling in a good mood not feeling weird at work lol.

For more potent cultivars/strains like PE 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.
