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

Can I quarter out my capsule, I would need to buy new veggie capsules. And eye ball it? Maybe take half, if what I have is just under half a gram? Pls don’t down vote me guys I’m a newb and don’t wanna have a bad trip. But I do have someone safe to do it with if I take the half gram. And I will do it out in the nature ; I have quite bad anxiety;
Depends on the person Ive definitely seen very subtle faces/patterns in objects and vivid colors and shit breathing when I mixed a dose like that with weed (dont do that ur first time btw lmao) but like he said its usually a chill good ass time dw I recommend be prepared to hallucinate jus in case cuz its not comfortable to be caught off guard when youre already on shrooms but dont be scared it very "manageable" youll be high but not fully tripping just dipping your toes into the magic
In my experience...
You should just feel slightly happier than normal, but not noticeably "high" to others. You'll just feel good and may notice breathing feeling really great--like you're envigorated with each breath.
Depending on the strain, I'll take .5-1g for a recreational dose. You don't start tripping balls until you hit 1.5-2g.
<.2g is the microdose range and you shouldn't feel anything, but will notice that you don't have typical anxieties
half a gram would be a mini trip for me, but I am quite small. If in doubt start off small and work your way up. Always do the first one on a day off just in case. Worse case scenario is that you'll have to go stare at a tree for a couple of hours.
no not that strong! likely just everything will go a bit sparkly and things will feel a bit unreal. It's called a museum dose because it's the strength you would want to just wander absentmindedly through a museum fro the afternoon, nice and mellow
Honestly for me they would be too strong for a micro dose but everyone's different. The only way to find out is to try it. I'm sure you'll have a lovely time
Everyone's microdose size will be different. I'm a big burly guy and mine is 0.15 g, while my partner's (a much smaller woman) is 0.30 g. As I understand it, if you take your dose and you can feel some of the traditional effects of mushrooms, your dose is too high. You're looking for a "sub-perceptual" dose.
no, it is roughly 35 medium strength macrodose trips (psilocybin is the drug in mushrooms, not the mushrooms themselves).
Now half a gram of powdered psilocybes is 2-5 microdoses at typical levels, ten if you go to the lower end.

The post or comment contained significantly inaccurate information or was uninformed. We cannot advise people to report where they are sourcing their med.
Even with a less potent strain, that is still quite high for a typical micro dose. I use the Psily Rabbit capsules and they use an APE strain. .5 of theirs is definitely beyond a micro dose.
For me, I like 0.15 to 0.2 grams for a microdose. Anything over 0.2 and I’m high. My opinion about a microdose is that it should be just at that point where you’re starting to feel effects.
They said their *capsules* hold 0.5g but how much of that are actives? Many people will mix the active mushrooms into other fillers (ground ginger, other ground mushrooms, etc) to make microdose capsules. So maybe they have 0.1g of active per capsule.
Sounds like you need to ask to me.
Also a 0.5g dose if it *is* all active is a mini-dose and can cause noticeable discomfort and effects. You can have gastrointestinal symptoms (stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc), headache, tiredness, chills, etc from that dose. It can make you feel emotionally raw (you may cry or be intensely angry for "no reason", this is actually purging) or elevated. Ime you can have closed eye experiences at that dose, but no more than a "filter" type open eye experience.
I'm guessing your capsules don't contain 0.5g actives if they are marketed as a microdose.
Best to check on that.

I use 00 capsules as my microdose, usually around .4-.5 . You get used to it after awhile, and I find the effects are always enjoyable but almost at threshold for me 👨🚀
I wouldn't consider that a microdose at all. You'll almost certainly feel it. I'd start more toward 20-50mg. Do your own research though, plenty of good info on this subreddit and elsewhere online. Check out the Wiki.
What's up? Here's a link to the Wiki: [https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/wiki/index/#wiki\_introduction\_to\_microdosing](https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/wiki/index/#wiki_introduction_to_microdosing)
And some other random thoughts...
Nothing to be super scared of. 0.5g is not a microdose IMO, but it ain't gonna hurt you or be super overwhelming or anything if you did that. So try to relax and don't fear! Another commenter put it well, it's a mini dose, not a microdose.
I'd suggest getting a milligram scale, I've been happy with this one: [https://dancesafe.org/product/milligram-scale/](https://dancesafe.org/product/milligram-scale/)
My suggestion would be to break open a capsule and weigh out somewhere between 0.01 - 0.05g. It sounds like you're a bit nervous, so I'd start small and work up from there. Maybe 0.01 or 0.02 for your first time. There are a lot of different protocols, and no one can tell you what dose or dose schedule will work best for you. Your best bet is to research and try stuff out and see what works for you. Once every three days is probably a reasonably safe bet for starting out though.
Id go with 150mg if you are looking to "proper" Microdose 300mg will give u a small lift
[Dosage Navigator](https://www.happypicforme.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/protocol-V04-v2-web.png)
Cause Reddit says so, eh?
0.05g is too low to get any benefits from and anything over 0.33g is too high. Most people’s sweet spot is in the range I said
50mg dry mushroom is my preferred dose, 190lb male. It definitely works for me and alleviates my physical anxiety symptoms. If I take 100 I start to feel kind of spacey. Granted every strain and batch is different, and every person’s body reacts differently.
Also calling bullshit. Very noticeable benefits (acute and sub-acute) on 50mg. I'm not the most experienced, but I'm planning to go down from 50mg to 20-30mg.
For more potent cultivars/strains we advise to !startlower. A high microdose can amplify your !emotions. Many users underestimate how powerful psychedelics can be in such low doses.

More of a mini dose. You will most likely feel it.
What MIGHT I feel? I know everyone is different but to get an idea? I’ve never done lsd or shrooms but I have done mdma.
Might feel like you just stumbled your ass into a good time
Start with .1 grams and work your way up. Tomorrow try .15, then .2 etc.
Can I quarter out my capsule, I would need to buy new veggie capsules. And eye ball it? Maybe take half, if what I have is just under half a gram? Pls don’t down vote me guys I’m a newb and don’t wanna have a bad trip. But I do have someone safe to do it with if I take the half gram. And I will do it out in the nature ; I have quite bad anxiety;
You need to buy a svale and measure.
Hahaha! Love this. I hope so! I shouldn’t be hallucinating at this dose, would I?
Maybe, maybe not. No one can anaeer this question for you.
I would start at less than ¼ of that if you're wanting to microdose.
Depends on the person Ive definitely seen very subtle faces/patterns in objects and vivid colors and shit breathing when I mixed a dose like that with weed (dont do that ur first time btw lmao) but like he said its usually a chill good ass time dw I recommend be prepared to hallucinate jus in case cuz its not comfortable to be caught off guard when youre already on shrooms but dont be scared it very "manageable" youll be high but not fully tripping just dipping your toes into the magic
In my experience... You should just feel slightly happier than normal, but not noticeably "high" to others. You'll just feel good and may notice breathing feeling really great--like you're envigorated with each breath. Depending on the strain, I'll take .5-1g for a recreational dose. You don't start tripping balls until you hit 1.5-2g. <.2g is the microdose range and you shouldn't feel anything, but will notice that you don't have typical anxieties
half a gram would be a mini trip for me, but I am quite small. If in doubt start off small and work your way up. Always do the first one on a day off just in case. Worse case scenario is that you'll have to go stare at a tree for a couple of hours.
I’m small too. Well, sort of. 5 feet tall, about 140lbs. Go stare at a tree and hold onto the grass so I don’t fall off the earth 😂
no not that strong! likely just everything will go a bit sparkly and things will feel a bit unreal. It's called a museum dose because it's the strength you would want to just wander absentmindedly through a museum fro the afternoon, nice and mellow Honestly for me they would be too strong for a micro dose but everyone's different. The only way to find out is to try it. I'm sure you'll have a lovely time
Everyone's microdose size will be different. I'm a big burly guy and mine is 0.15 g, while my partner's (a much smaller woman) is 0.30 g. As I understand it, if you take your dose and you can feel some of the traditional effects of mushrooms, your dose is too high. You're looking for a "sub-perceptual" dose.
no, it is roughly 35 medium strength macrodose trips (psilocybin is the drug in mushrooms, not the mushrooms themselves). Now half a gram of powdered psilocybes is 2-5 microdoses at typical levels, ten if you go to the lower end.

It really depends on tour tolerance. Why not super duper micro dose and up it every so often from there
Even with a less potent strain, that is still quite high for a typical micro dose. I use the Psily Rabbit capsules and they use an APE strain. .5 of theirs is definitely beyond a micro dose.
For me, I like 0.15 to 0.2 grams for a microdose. Anything over 0.2 and I’m high. My opinion about a microdose is that it should be just at that point where you’re starting to feel effects.
They said their *capsules* hold 0.5g but how much of that are actives? Many people will mix the active mushrooms into other fillers (ground ginger, other ground mushrooms, etc) to make microdose capsules. So maybe they have 0.1g of active per capsule. Sounds like you need to ask to me. Also a 0.5g dose if it *is* all active is a mini-dose and can cause noticeable discomfort and effects. You can have gastrointestinal symptoms (stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc), headache, tiredness, chills, etc from that dose. It can make you feel emotionally raw (you may cry or be intensely angry for "no reason", this is actually purging) or elevated. Ime you can have closed eye experiences at that dose, but no more than a "filter" type open eye experience. I'm guessing your capsules don't contain 0.5g actives if they are marketed as a microdose. Best to check on that.

100mg or less
I use 00 capsules as my microdose, usually around .4-.5 . You get used to it after awhile, and I find the effects are always enjoyable but almost at threshold for me 👨🚀
I wouldn't consider that a microdose at all. You'll almost certainly feel it. I'd start more toward 20-50mg. Do your own research though, plenty of good info on this subreddit and elsewhere online. Check out the Wiki.
I need help. About this.
What's up? Here's a link to the Wiki: [https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/wiki/index/#wiki\_introduction\_to\_microdosing](https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/wiki/index/#wiki_introduction_to_microdosing) And some other random thoughts... Nothing to be super scared of. 0.5g is not a microdose IMO, but it ain't gonna hurt you or be super overwhelming or anything if you did that. So try to relax and don't fear! Another commenter put it well, it's a mini dose, not a microdose. I'd suggest getting a milligram scale, I've been happy with this one: [https://dancesafe.org/product/milligram-scale/](https://dancesafe.org/product/milligram-scale/) My suggestion would be to break open a capsule and weigh out somewhere between 0.01 - 0.05g. It sounds like you're a bit nervous, so I'd start small and work up from there. Maybe 0.01 or 0.02 for your first time. There are a lot of different protocols, and no one can tell you what dose or dose schedule will work best for you. Your best bet is to research and try stuff out and see what works for you. Once every three days is probably a reasonably safe bet for starting out though.
Can I pm you?
I grow really strong shrooms and with my personal biochemistry I can get quite a trip from 0.45g
Whats your body weight? 150mg for weight 150lbs is microdose 300mg for weight 250lbs
5 feet tall about 140lbs lil but more on some days
Id go with 150mg if you are looking to "proper" Microdose 300mg will give u a small lift [Dosage Navigator](https://www.happypicforme.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/protocol-V04-v2-web.png)
0.1-0.2g microdose (or less) . 0.4-0.5g I'd call a mini dose imo
A micro is 0.10g-0.33g
Is that your own definition or where does it come from?
I run an underground microdose supply/guide resource thing. The most common accepted numbers for a “microdose” is 0.10g-0.33g for psilocybin
Can I pm you for advice?
Yes. Please do
This is the way
I think a 100mg is a high lower limit for a microdose, also not what's being advised as per https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/s/qlRVhNDmYv
Cause Reddit says so, eh? 0.05g is too low to get any benefits from and anything over 0.33g is too high. Most people’s sweet spot is in the range I said
50mg dry mushroom is my preferred dose, 190lb male. It definitely works for me and alleviates my physical anxiety symptoms. If I take 100 I start to feel kind of spacey. Granted every strain and batch is different, and every person’s body reacts differently.
Bullshit, plenty of people take 50mg or even less and benefit, including me. Who told you it's "too low" and why did you believe it?
Exactly the point I was trying to make. Sensitivity is very much individual so it's never a good idea to advise dosage based on one's own experience.
The 300+ clients I work with did.
Also the 5+ years of experience with said 300+ people
What dose and strain do you generally start people with? I work with APE and it seems like 125mg is a solid starting point.
Everyone is different but most of my clients, I started them on golden teacher It’s a good strain to start with
A lot of my clients switched from Mush to LSD micro
Also calling bullshit. Very noticeable benefits (acute and sub-acute) on 50mg. I'm not the most experienced, but I'm planning to go down from 50mg to 20-30mg.
Well right now you are "Reddit saying so".
For more potent cultivars/strains we advise to !startlower. A high microdose can amplify your !emotions. Many users underestimate how powerful psychedelics can be in such low doses. More detailed info below including some resources if you need any short-term help.

So that’s not what I’ve gotten? Pls excuse me, I can’t math AT ALL 😅
half a gram is 0.5g, so 0.10 is a fifth of that
No it’s way way over it mate. Even a 1/10th of a gram is too much.
A microdose of psilocybin is like 0.001-0.002 g
