YOUR ROADMAP FOR RECREATIONAL DOSING.
Microdose: 0.10 – .20 grams
Microdosing refers to the practice of taking very small, “sub-perceptual” amounts of a psychedelic substance. In other words, you don’t feel the dose or if you do it’s very mild. In the context of psilocybin mushrooms, a microdose is typically around 0.1 to 0.3 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms.
Low dose: .5 to 1 grams
Low doses typically range from about 0.5 to 1 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, which equates to approximately 0.25 to 0.5 grams of Penis Envy mushrooms due to their higher psilocybin content. At this dose, users may begin to feel a noticeable yet still manageable intensity of psilocybin’s effects without full-blown psychedelic experiences.
Why would I want to take a low dose?
Exploration of Consciousness:
At this dose, individuals may start to experience a subtle shift in perception, potentially allowing for increased introspective insights and a gentle alteration in consciousness.
Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving:
While not as pronounced as with microdosing, a low dose can foster increased creativity and novel ways of thinking.
Introduction to Psilocybin:
For those new to psilocybin, a low dose can provide a gentle introduction, allowing the individual to become familiar with its effects before considering higher doses.
Therapeutic dose: 1 to 3 grams
Therapeutic or moderate doses usually fall between 1 and 3 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. These doses are typically used in a therapeutic context, often with professional guidance, leading to deeper, more profound psychological experiences.
Heroic / Macrodose: 3 to 5 grams+
A high or macrodose typically ranges from 3 to 5 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. These doses can lead to profound psychedelic experiences, often referred to as “trips”. These experiences can vary greatly and might include altered perceptions, feelings of unity or interconnectedness, mystical experiences, and significant emotional shifts.
