Microdosing Mega Thread

[Cireeric]

I wanted to start a Thread on Microdosing. Maybe we can share our experiences with microdosing here and share valuable information/Ressources about it. I will start with micodosing 1cp-LSD tomorrow and may will share my experience with it in the future.

Good timing for this thread! I'm about to start microdosing with mushrooms. I was considering trying lsd, but I've had some insomnia issues lately so the more stimulating and longer lasting effects of lysergimides might not be ideal for me right now.

What sort of schedule and dose are you planning on? I'm planning on starting with a 4 days on and 3 days off schedule, with 0.1grams of PE mushrooms.

Interesting, I was thinking about shrooms too. In a full dose trip I like the experience of Shrooms more, but I thought they may last too short for a Microdose. Im doing 1 day on and 2 days off with 10 mics of 1cp, but experimenting with the schedule as im in the process.

Up to what dosage is considered microdosing?

The dosage where you're not tripping

And where do you draw the boundary from not tripping to tripping?

Visuals?

That's right. YOU draw it

way below the visual threshold. the intention is to use the psychedelic as a supplement or nootropic rather than for a trip. Find the smallest dose where you can feel any effects at all and then take slightly less than that. Depending on your preferences and purpose you might want the microdose to be at or slightly above the threshold so you can feel it a little bit. But imo I think it's best to aim for under the threshold rather than over, since if I wanted to feel it I'd just do a full trip.

Generally with mushrooms depending on the potency of the strain a microdose ranges from 0.1g to 0.4g. The strain I'm using is on the stronger side so I think 0.1g will be good for me. With LSD the microdose range would be around 10ug, maybe a bit more or less depending on your sensitivity to the substance.

The impression I have is that the shorter duration of mushrooms means that you can take it slightly more often than lsd. shroom microdose schedules seem to recommend 3-4 times a week, while lsd microdose schedules seem to recommend 2-3 times a week (but then, I've also heard of people microdosing everyday so I guess it depends on the person). So I think that's the trade-off. But it all depends on what you're looking for. The longer duration of LSD is definitely an asset if that's what you're looking for. But like I said I've had trouble sleeping lately which is why I've leaned towards the shorter duration of shrooms.

I have microdosed with Lsd - using approx. 10 mcg. Someone who provided me with the microdoses, added 1 drop of acid to a small bottle of echinacea, the kind that sells at the chemist. I was supposed to try a few drops (between 5 and 10) of the echinacea and find my sub-perceptual level. Basically, take enough till before the point I could feel the effect. Since this was my first experience of Lsd, I wasn't sure what was meant by its effect. I noticed that while I couldn't feel an effect, traffic lights appeared to be a little brighter, which I thought was ok. Checking traffic-lights, in fact, became my way of determining how strong the microdose was. 

I took the micro dose to help me concentrate on my reading and research. It was apparent right from the start that I could work for longer and with greater concentration if I had microdosed. For example, I could read for about 4 hours in the library, without fidgeting and needing to take breaks which is what I would normally do.
