Microdose

A Microdose is a very small dose to make use of the benefits of psilocybin without getting high or impaired in any way. You can function during your day without a problem.

During a light trip sensory changes may happen which includes seeing colors more vibrant, feeling more appealed by music and connected to the surrounding. A light trip is a very good start for people that havo no experience with psychedelics yet.

For a medium trip, it is already important to provide a good set and setting. Distinct visual alterations become apparent, such as distortions in your environment and the emergence of intricate patterns on surfaces. Soon, you may notice flowing patterns on clear surfaces while colors intensify in their richness. Time itself may seem to warp, either slowing to a crawl or rushing forward, leading to moments that feel like an eternity. Some people already experience hallucinations while having their eyes closed.

Before you’re heading for a strong trip, make sure you have the right set and setting and that you’re accompanied by someone you trust and stays sober for the full trip. A strong trip can cause powerful hallucinations even with your eyes open. The visions can manifest in many ways, for example objects in your surrounding may seem alive. Familiar faces or other beings my appear and interact with you. At this point, it might become difficult to differentiate between hallucination and reality. 

The volume of your ego is now completely turned down and the opportunity opens up to explore your “inner landscape”.

5 tips for microdosing

1. Set an Intention

One of the most important things for microdosing is to set an intention. By setting an intention you give the effect of the truffles a clear direction. The effects of psilocybin work on the neural paths you focus on. For e.g. I want to excercise more, I want to stop smoking, i want to be more charismatic. There’s no limit to setting an intention. 

2. Microdose before Breakfast

The best is to take the Microdose first thing first in the morning, even before breakfast. By taking it right away in the morning you make sure that the benefits of the dose can unfold during the daily decision-making.

3. Increase the Dosage on a Day Off

When looking for your “sweet spot“, it can happen that the next increment might be already beyond your comfort zone. By increasing the dosage on a day off you can make sure that if the increased dose makes you feel uncomfortable it won’t interfere with any important tasks during your day. If it happens that the dose was higher than you anticipate, reduce the dose next time.

4. Keep a Microdosing Journal

In a Microdosing Journal you keep record of your personal microdosing journey. When microdosing, you might get more conscious about the autonomous and unconscious part of yourself (Meta-cognition). Subtle changes might fall more to your attention and your perception might get more fine-tuned. It is also possible that you might notice changes in your behaviour and in your thought-process.

5. Follow a Protocol for the Full Length

Microdosing affects neuroplasticity which is a natural process that doesn’t happen over night. It takes about 21 days for neurons to (re)form and 63 days until the newly (re)formed neurons get incorporated into your neural network. Persistence and discipline are indispensable to get results.

The importance of  “set and setting” 

The importance of “set and setting”

 

Set (mindset) and setting (environment) are very important factors that will determine a major aspect of the trip. These two variables will influence how you will experience the trip.

information microdosing notice

The Microdosing calculator is not able to take these values into account to calculate your dose since these values are of personal nature. If you plan on taking a trip but you feel like one of the values isn’t right, then it’s better to postpone it until both, Set and Setting, feel right for you.

Set

To consolidate your mindset, do your research about psilocybin and gain confidence for the trip. Speak to people that have experience with the dosage you intend to take. If you happen to be insecure, it is possible that this feeling will get incorporated into the experience and it might result in a bad trip. So make sure you got everything you need!

Setting

Choose an environment you feel the most comfort with. It can be your home, your friends home or outside in nature. If you’re in a house, you can dim the lights to amplify the visuals. Make sure that you have always someone around you, whom you can trust and stays sober for the time of the trip. 

3 important tips for a trip 

If it’s your first time, start with a low dose

For unexperienced users even a normal trip (medium trip) can be quite overwhelming at first. The senses might get overloaded which could induce a bad trip. To prevent a bad experience, start with a light trip. A light trip will give you insight into what effect psychedelics will have on you as an individual. This can help you to tune-in into the effects of psilocybin which can provide you with more confidence for a higher dose. Confidence is the basis for a beneficial psychedelic experience.

Do not use higher doses when you feel off

If you happen to have a feeling that something is not right before you’re heading for a trip, then it’s better to postpone your trip to another day! If you still decide to keep going despite the something is off, then it is possible that you might experience a bad trip.

Never take a second dose!

It is possible that despite a higher dose, you won’t feel or see anything unusual. Do not take another dose! Rather change your setting (dim you lights, go into another room, turn off your eletronics, etc..). If the setting will be right, then the effects will roll in suddenly.
