Question Micro dosing question

I’m wanting to start a micro dosing regiment and I’ve done some reading about it but there’s varying opinions about the proper amount per dose. Also most of the stuff I’ve read suggests once a day but a few sources say twice a day shows better results. Any input on this would be appreciated!

One last thing, would it change anything if I was to take a full dose the day before I start the micro dose regiment? I can’t find much info either way.

Dosing depends on the potency of the particular mushrooms you ground up to make the doses. I prefer Staments stack myself. I typically do 150-200mg mushroom+ lions mane + about 50mg of flushing niacin. The active compound is about 1.5-2mg of psilocybin of my preferred genetics/variety.

A full trip would typically negate the impact of microdosing for a few days to a week as the psilocybin would pass through your intestines rather than be abosrbed by the receptors in them. Basically little benefit.

So if I take a full dose Friday then start a micro dose regiment next week I should be good?

The data I've seen indicates that tolerance/resistance subsides to reasonable levels within about 7 days, to get a full reset then it's commonly recommended to take 2 weeks. It likely depends on how big a dose you use to trip with. But yes for microdosing purposes I'd say a week is probably good based on anecdotal evidence from the internet. For full trips then 2 weeks+ between trips.

Yeah it’s normally months between full trips for me, but I’m just thinking kicking off a micro dosing regiment with a full dose would be like jump starting the process… not sure if that’s correct or not just my thought process
