Microdosing Mushies

[Meliai]

I've started microdosing mushrooms so I thought I would start a thread to share my experience as I go along. I started Sunday and will probably do it every other day so only two doses thus far, with a third tomorrow. I'm going to do around 150mg each dose, although I might play around with slightly higher doses sometimes.

I should mention I'm starting from a really good baseline so I'm not using them as a treatment for depression or anxiety, but rather an enhancement to an already positive and stable state of mind. I feel like i'm really at peace with myself at this point in my life so I thought it would be a good time for a lil psychedelic enhancement.

So far I haven't noticed any huge difference, except maybe my baseline mood is a little better than usual. And in the few hours after taking the dose, I'm getting a really nice body high which I wasn't expecting on such a low dose. I assume that's only temporary until my tolerance grows though.

Has anyone else ever tried microdosing and if so, what was it like for you?

Never tried microdosing. Curious how it will be on the longer term, and if you built up a tolerance!

How do you get shrooms over there btw?

When I bought them years ago they were still legal here and could get them from the 'smart shop'. Now they have only similar stuff, like magic truffles and the like (which gave similar trips and I guess is also suitable to microdose with)

[Osquirrell]

Id avoid stimulants because Magics can be stimulants .. during daylight hours ya should be fine with mild doses. As night fall comes remember that they may keep you awake and have thoughts spinning when trying to close your eyes..

I understand the regimen is a key part to microdosing so I've never properly done it.

I have had leftover shroom shake in a bag before but I don't recall experiencing much of anything from that.

[Din Djarin]

I recall me and a friend ate leftover shrooms on a bicycle trip to other friends after a night of tripping. It did cause some kind of flashback during the ride, but faded soon after arrival (so happily lasted a lot shorter! :P )

[Din Djarin]

Other friends were pissed we already ate the leftovers :P

I know a guy : p no idea where he got them though. It isnt illegal to buy or sell spores here so a lot of people grow their own

[Osquirrell]

rare a personal grow becomes a legal issue.. / usually finds because of some other business... if ya mind ya business ya can grow shrooms no problem.

Yeah I was kinda worried about that, I dosed yesterday at about 5:30 and had no issues falling asleep around 11 though

How often do you microdose?

Hmm… I might need to start an operation.

Are you going to start running mushrooms between Cuba and Miami?

[lode]

Get outta my head.

[Youfreeme]

If I could get my hands on them I’d try it. Excited to read about your experience.

Day 7 Update - yesterday I stared at an ant crawling on a leaf for a good 10 minutes haha

I was really emotional one day, which is not unusual for me : p I actually started to think, maybe I should abort this mission because I really dont need extra help getting in touch with my emotions. But then I realized what I was emotional about, instead of just feeling like I was sad for no reason. And I feel like I made peace with a few different things that have been bugging me for a while.

I feel more present and in tune with the world around me. And I haven't been feeling this certain itch of dissatisfaction that I often feel.

time feels like it has slowed down a bit

All in all, the effects so far are a lot like the effects of an actual mushroom trip, hallucinogenic properties aside. The insightful self awareness, the feeling of connection to everything. Just more subtle, longer to process, less of an ass kicking than an actual trip lol.

This week I am adding some lion's mane mushrooms to the mix!

Oh! Meant to mention one downside, I've found I can get a little irritable when dosing.
not an uncommon side effect, per the microdosing sub on reddit
I have some sensory sensitivity issues going on lol, so I think it's just that mushrooms make me even more sensitive to external stimuli. I heard someone tapping the other day and it drove me crazy

and I hung out with a group of friends last night and all the noise and activity was a little brutal. Like I want to be connected with people but I also want them to use their indoor voices and calm down a little

[Osquirrell]

I would pop the bubble with higher dose and then microdose after that. All that senstitivity in the background is the trip trying to come on but reaching that block there isnt enough actives ..

Thats just me tho.

[Meliai]

Ahh yeah you might be onto something. I had planned to do a big trip after microdosing for like a month but maybe I should flip the order around

[Osquirrell]

id say its ok to slowly inflate balloon like doing and then higher dose.. it wont be so radical as all the other fog/background has been washed down some with lower dosing..

Seems like Set and Setting still plays a role to an extent.

Sounds like a cool endeavor
