USAGES
Psilocybin is a natural antidepressant and anxiolytic. A microdose is a small dose of psilocybe mushroom (100-300mg). It is not a psychedelic dose, so you can carry out your daily activities with it and incorporate it into your daily life.
If you're feeling sad or anxious, dedicate your microdose to understanding where this feeling comes from. The microdose will allow you to explore your sadness without being overwhelmed by it.
Understanding the causes of your depression or anxiety will help you make peace with these feelings and find solutions.
If you plan to use a microdose to focus or enhance your creativity, don't wait to feel its effects before starting to work. Begin your creative process as soon as you take your microdose. If you're already in a flow state when it takes effect, the microdose will help you flow even more and go further.
"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." Pablo Picasso
DOSES
When starting, experiment to find the ideal microdose for you.
Experiment with 1-3 capsules of 100 mg of psilocybe.
A microdose does not produce psychedelic effects since it is a functional dose, but it is enough for you to feel its effect and benefits in your daily activities.
An ideal microdose for you feels like seeing the world through a magnifying glass. Everything feels amplified and clear. When you reflect at the end of your day, you notice that the day felt happy and light.
If you weigh over 80kg, you may need a higher dose (200-500mg).
Even if you have already found your ideal dose, you don't have to stick to it; changing the dose to a higher one is valid if you feel you need it that day or are looking for a more recreational experience.
Different types of microdoses go beyond just the psilocybe mushroom and provide additional benefits. For more information on microdosing psilocybe combined with other mushrooms, see the post: Types of Microdoses.
