what is your dosage and frequency?
- radicaldreamer 5y agoI've heard this is only effective at "heroic" doses -- most studies also use a high dose (>= 25 mg psilocybin)
- tomatowurst 5y agogoing to be honest i really don't buy this microdose, your body will quickly build natural tolerance to psilocybin. this is not like THC or alcohol where you drink tiny amounts, the effects will be felt. it makes sense why the body builds tolerance to psilocybin so rapidly and half life is quite long (at least a month or two) for evolutionary purposes. which to me is interesting because it shows that we've evolved to build tolerance against it but THC takes far longer and in very high doses to build tolerance. all in all, I've read accounts of people seeing positive changes with microdosing but for my case, while I did not take heroic doses (McKenna's 5 grams), I took at best 2 to 3 grams. In higher doses I had a transcendental experience.... while nobody has died from taking psilocybin outright, there had been reported incidents where it had impact on somebody prone to schizophrenia and psychosis. However its extremely rare. This is why I suggest to people to have a sitter and be at a ground level. It's not an issue for the millions of people that take it but if you've never even smoked marijuana before and this is your first try, please get a sitter.
- Trasmatta 5y ago> it makes sense why the body builds tolerance to psilocybin so rapidly and half life is quite long (at least a month or two) for evolutionary purposes The half life of psilocybin is only a couple of hours, not a couple of months. The mental after effects can linger for a long time of course, if that's what you mean.
- tomatowurst 5y agoi mean when you redose, its effect will be significantly diminished. it is not something you can do recreationally, "only on the weekends" type of thing.
- tayo42 5y agoI don't think there's been a real study proving microdosing actually does anything? My experience with trying it was kind of useless. The only times I got anything from it was the times where I dosed a little to much by accident.
- renewiltord 5y agoI feel highly motivated when on and for a period after coming down. Dose: 3.5 mg dry fruit. Frequency: Maybe once a month; only recreationally with friends.
- 867-5309 5y agowhat is 'dry fruit' in this context?
- renewiltord 5y agoSorry. Dried Shrooms themselves, I.e. not a psilocybin dose. Of course I goofed the units, confusing you. Grams not milli grams.
