Microdosing is taking a fraction of a gram of psilocybin (aka magic mushrooms) and is usually around 0.1-0.2 grams. It is such a small dose that you don't "trip out" or hallucinate like when taking a bigger dose. The subtle effects could be considered comparable to having half a beer, or in the range to where you feel something, but in no way inebriated. Benefits include elevated mood, easing anxiety or depression, relieving headaches.- https://migrainecanada.org/psylocibin-for-migraine-treatment/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022510X2400128X Suggested Use/Dose Microdoses are often suggested to be 0.1-0.5 grams. The average Taking more than that would be getting into the realm of Medium and macro doses. Everyones tolerance is different, with the biggest factor probably being weight of a person as well as their personal experience with this or other plant medicines. Suggested method when starting out is to take 1, 0.2g capsule, you should feel its effects with the first hour. If the effects are too small, than next time take more, use your own discretion. If you take it every day you will build a tolerance to it and will find you need to take bigger doses. It is commonly suggested to try something like this. 1 day on 1 day off, 2 days on two days off, 3 days on 3 days off etc. Although we have also seen people recommend taking it 7 days a week with positive feed back as well.
