FAQ

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound, primarily found in specific varieties of mushrooms, commonly known as ‘magic mushrooms’.

When consumed, psilocybin transforms into psilocin, initiating a range of mind-expanding effects, including mood, perception, and cognitive function shifts.
Recent research suggests it might offer a way to treat conditions like depression and anxiety. Plus, it can deliver a mind-expanding trip if that’s your jam. Check out our Microdosing 101 page to learn more.

Haha, not quite! Microdosing is taking small, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance, in this case, psilocybin. Visit our Microdosing Guide for an in-depth look into the art and science of microdosing.

Nope, microdosing is more about the subtle vibes. It’s designed to enhance your day-to-day experience, not make you see mythical creatures! Check out our Benefits of Microdosing blog for more information on what you might experience.

There are 6 different types of dosages: 

1. Microdose (50mg – 400mg): A microdose is so low that it’s considered safe for daily use, including during work or parenting. You won’t experience hallucinations at this dosage. Microdosing is best known for enhancing mood, focus, and memory. Extensive research on microdosing benefits can be found in this study.

1. Museum Dose (400mg – 1g): This is your social dose, giving a warm glow yet keeping you fully present and sociable. Everyone reacts differently, so test this dose in a comfortable setting before heading to a social situation. Research shows positive effects on social interaction.

1. Common Dose (1 – 2g): This dose offers a light trip that may enhance your senses, deepen your thoughts, and provide a nice body high. Studies indicate therapeutic potential for conditions like depression at this dosage.

1. Diver Dose (2 – 3.5 g): With a diver dose, you might experience interactive thought patterns, visual and auditory hallucinations, a diminishing ego, and a heightened sense of self. Research suggests perspective changes are common with this dose
2. Strong Dose (3.5 – 5g): This dose should be taken with preparation and deep intention as it may lead to transcendental thoughts and out-of-body experiences. Under supervision, you may experience fractal visions, time and space distortion, and ego dissolution. This study discusses the therapeutic potential of such doses.

Heroic Dose (5+ g): A heroic dose leads to a complete dissolution of self, blinding visual hallucinations, out-of-body experiences, intense catharsis, and primordial information downloads. This dose is only recommended for experienced psychedelic users, and it should always be taken under supervision. A 2018 research paper discusses the intense experiences at such high doses.

The golden rule of microdosing is “less is more.” A common practice is the ‘one day on, two days off’ approach, but it’s crucial to find a rhythm that works for you.Check out Paul Stamets Microdosing Protocol and James Fadiman Microdosing Protocol.

While there’s no definitive answer, the current research suggests that microdosing psilocybin is generally well-tolerated. Everyone is different, and if you have any concerns, it’s a good idea to chat with us.
