Introduce yourself

Welcome Debbie, If you have never microdosed before, a good starting point is 0.1 grams of dried mushrooms. Depending on your body size you can go higher, perhaps up to 0.2 grams, but it is better to start low for a month and then recalibrate. It is essential that you buy a scale, and not just eyeball what 0.1 grams looks like. This is a very small amount, and without measuring, it is very likely that you may take 0.3-0.5 grams. Plus it is essential that you take the same amount on each dosing day, which eyeballing it just doesn’t allow for. Don’t worry, scales are cheap, often under $10. There are a few common schedules that we will discuss here. First, the most famous and classical one is a microdose every 3 days. The idea behind this is on the first day you feel the full effects, on the second day you still feel about ½ the effects as the substance is still in your body, and the third day is a tolerance break. If you stick with this schedule, taking 0.1 grams every 3 days, you should manage to avoid building up a tolerance. Some people also do it every other day, which may work for them, but for beginners, we would still suggest every third day. Another common regime is one week on and one week off. This would average out to every other day, but by having a full week off, you can rebuild your tolerance. Since there hasn’t been a lot of hard core scientific study on the best regimes, you should choose the one that seems most appealing to you, and stick with it for a minimum of a month.
