What You Should Know About Microdosing Psilocybin

Psilocybin, the active compound found in “magic mushrooms,” is receiving a lot of attention regarding its potential for therapeutic use. An increasingly popular way of consuming psilocybin is microdosing it, or consuming small amounts on a frequent basis. But what are the risks and benefits of this practice, and how does it affect your tolerance to the substance?

Microdosing Psilocybin

A study published in the Harm Reduction Journal explains that “microdosing psychedelics is the practice of consuming very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance…” Despite the increase in this practice, there is very little research available on microdosing. According to the study, there have been “tens of thousands” of increases in online microdosing communities, justifying the need for scientific studies to better understand microdosing.

Dr. David R. Cox told the Insider that the minimum dose required for a psychedelic psilocybin experience is around 1 gram of dried mushroom, while a low microdose is around 0.1 grams. While the psychedelic experience with psilocybin may seem like a good idea, it can cause an altered state of mind, altered sensory perception, and even hallucinations, which can cause problems when in an uncontrollable environment.

Cox explains that “microdosing is done with the thought that these small doses do not produce any hallucinogenic effects” and thinking that it “may provide relief from adverse symptoms and/or facilitate improvements in one’s thinking, emotional and/or cognitive state.”

While there is plenty of anecdotal evidence supporting the efficacy of microdosing, the “concrete evidence surrounding microdosing mushrooms is sparse since it’s a schedule I substance and the FDA has only recently approved a small number of clinical trials for psilocybin use.”

Benefits of Microdosing

The study worked with participants to determine the benefits of microdosing, discovering reported improvements in mood, focus, creativity, and energy. The most frequently reported benefit was the improvement in mood, including “happiness, well-being, peace, calm and reductions in depressive symptoms.” The category also included “improved outlook, appreciation of life, optimism, spiritual, and emotional insights” as well as “being more in touch with emotions.”

The reported improvement in focus included conscious awareness, focus and concentration, mindfulness, and improvement in attentiveness and engagement. The improvement in creativity refers to improvements in the meta-creative process, such as divergent thinking, curiosity, openness, shifts in perspective, etc. The improvement in self-efficacy reported by the participants included the likes of ambition, motivation, productivity, sense of agency, self-care, introspection, meditation, etc.

Improvements in energy referred to a literal increase in energy as well as “alertness, wakefulness, and stimulation.” The increase in social benefits included extraversion, empathy, connection, and ease of verbal engagement (fluency). The participants who reported cognitive benefits reportedly experienced cognitive enhancement such as understanding and problem-solving as well as experiencing clarity of thought.

Other less common benefits experienced when microdosing psilocybin included a reduction in anxiety, enhanced senses, improved sleep quality, reduced migraines/headaches, the lack of side-effects, being able to control the dose, the novelty of the experience, a reduction in sensitivity to trauma, and reduced substance dependence.

Risks of Microdosing

In addition to exploring the benefits of microdosing, the study explains that the risks associated with microdosing psilocybin include its illegality, the social stigma attached to psychedelics, and numerous physiological discomforts such as disrupted senses, temperature dysregulation, numbing/tingling, insomnia, gastrointestinal distress, and reduced appetite.

Other risks include distractibility, absent-mindedness, increased anxiety, restlessness, jitters, fatigue, drowsiness, brain fog, discontent, sadness, irritability, over-emotionality, impaired outlook, oversharing, awkwardness, difficulty in sentence production, confusion, disorientation, racing thoughts, poor memory, dissociation, depersonalization, and self-sabotage.

Many of the risks associated with microdosing psilocybin appear to be contradictory to many of the reported benefits, but many who have consumed psilocybin, especially in microdoses, will say that most of those are unlikely. Regardless of the improbability of experiencing those adverse effects with a microdose of psilocybin, it is important that consumers are aware of the risks in order to medicate more responsibly.

Tolerance to Psilocybin

Perhaps one of the biggest risks, or challenges, of microdosing is the tolerance buildup. Tolerance refers to a reduced response to a substance, so tolerance to psilocybin means that your body becomes desensitized to the psilocybin and eventually needs larger doses for the same effects. Emily Pisacreta from Double Blindstated that “tolerance to shrooms develops faster than you think” and that the tolerance associated with psilocybin “is different” than that of alcohol and opioid tolerance.

The factsheet on psilocybin by the Drug Policy Alliance explains that “the human body quickly builds a tolerance to psilocybin, such that people require much higher doses after only a few days of repeated use, making it extremely difficult to have any effect after more than four days of repeated uses.” The alliance also states that psilocybin is not considered to be “addictive nor does it cause compulsive use.”

Unfortunately, there is still little understanding behind the tolerance build-up to psilocybin. It is currently generally accepted for consumers to take a minimum of a 24-hour break before consuming again, but there is no certain time frame for the tolerance to reduce.

It is also well known that LSD interacts with the body in a similar way to psilocybin, so many experts believe that consuming LSD one day and psilocybin the next will lead to a reduction in effects from the psilocybin (and vice versa). Fortunately, your kidneys assist your body in metabolizing psilocybin quite quickly, so a 24-hour break from microdosing every couple of days may be a good way to maintain the optimal benefits with the lowest possible dose for those benefits.

Now that you have a better understanding of microdosing psilocybin, it is important that you are aware of its legal status wherever you are in the world. Consider consulting with psychedelic therapy specialists in order to avoid putting yourself at risk. Until we have more information on substances like psilocybin from clinical trials and other studies, make sure to consume responsibly.

Note: Veriheal does not support illegally consuming therapeutic substances such as psilocybin but acknowledges that it transpires because of the current illicit status, which we strive to change by advocating for research, legal access, and responsible consumption. Always consult a physician before attempting alternative therapies.

PSYCHEDELIC MICRODOSING PACK: THE SAME YOU, ONLY ELEVATED

Imagine feeling energised, more productive, focussed, inspired, and ready to take on the world. Those are just some of the benefits users have experienced when microdosing magic truffles. Forget the idea of having your mind lost in the cosmos, microdosing is about using psychedelics to unlock the synergy between different parts of your brain to become an elevated version of your ordinary self.

THE POWER OF PSILOCYBIN

Harnessing the powers of the world-renowned Psilocybe mexicana, six doses of one gram come vacuum-sealed to ensure maximum quality. Mexicana has a long-standing history of use among fellow psychonauts, religious shamans, and pioneering creatives as they offer a safe, all-natural and pleasant introduction into the world of psychedelics. Our Psychedelic Microdosing Pack allows you to channel a fraction of the spiritual enlightenment and inner tranquility offered by psilocybin so you stay on-track and focussed.

Psilocybin is the key psychoactive component contained within magic truffles. Once introduced to the body, it interacts with parts of the brain to trigger a multitude of effects. Feel your thoughts connect to emotions with ease, and experience improved insight and problem-solving. Psilocybin allows parts of the brain that usually never communicate to once again “talk” and connect. When the possibilities are the limits of your own imagination, anything is possible.

MICRODOSING MADE EASY

Microdosing requires the user to follow a schedule that involves dosing on specific days, followed by periods of rest. Zamnesia recommends you consume truffles every third day, ideally in the morning. The first day of dosing, effects will be at their peak. During the second day, users will still experience an afterglow effect, before the third day allows their psilocybin tolerance to reset.

Repeat this routine for several weeks, or until you notice a difference in mood, productivity, or social interactions. It is advised that users take a break after 10 weeks of microdosing to limit the potential for adverse side effects, and allow their tolerance to reset fully.

No matter how small, even the most subtle changes in our behaviour can dramatically improve several aspects of daily life. Microdosing is about staying in control and alert, while letting your mind operate unhindered by the tension of a modern lifestyle.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

Microdosing has a very low chance of causing adverse side effects. However, if, even after following the recommended dosing guide, you still feel slightly overwhelmed, sit down and relax, taking regular breaths—effects will fade over time.

STORAGE

How to Store Microdosing shroom Capsules

Unlike the taste of dried mushrooms, mushroom capsules are excellent and tasteless better alternatives to other mushroom edibles. Also, capsules make microdosing much easier and controllable since only a small amount of dried ground mushrooms can fit into a capsule. As such, we have more clients buying mushroom capsules than dried magic mushrooms. It is therefore our concern, educating users on how they can preserve these capsules.

Storing capsules is easy. There are several ways in storing psychedelic pills or capsules, but here is the best recommended way.

How to store mushroom capsules

Store your capsules in an opaque, airtight container with food-grade silica packet. The silica packet is to prevent humidity from prematurely damaging your shroom capsules.

Place the container (could be plastic zipper bag) in a cool, dark location.

How long can Microdose Shroom Capsules Last

The shelf life of compressed mushroom capsules is not well-known. However, the expected shelf life may last for several months to a year. It is recommended to check on them every once in a while, to ensure that they don’t show signs of contamination.

As with all our products, store these well out of the reach of minors and pets, and for maximum longevity, keep them cool and away from sunlight.
