What is Microdosing?

Microdosing is taking a very small amount of a psychedelic substance. It's about 1/10th to 1/20th of a normal dose. You do this on a regular schedule. The goal is to get the benefits without the full psychedelic experience.

Why Do People Microdose?

People say microdosing can help with:

  • Creativity and solving problems
  • Focus and concentration
  • Mood and emotions
  • Energy and motivation
  • Anxiety and depression

Popular Schedules

The Fadiman Protocol

This is a popular schedule from Dr. James Fadiman:

  • Day 1: Take a microdose.
  • Day 2: Don't take a dose.
  • Day 3: Don't take a dose.
  • Day 4: Start over.

The Stamets Stack

This schedule from Paul Stamets mixes psilocybin, Lion's Mane mushroom, and niacin. You take it for 5 days, then take 2 days off.

How to Start

If you want to try microdosing:

  1. Learn as much as you can. Know the laws in your area.
  2. Start with a very small dose. You can slowly take more if you need to.
  3. Write down how you feel in a journal.
  4. Be patient. It can take a few weeks to notice any changes.
  5. Think about talking to a coach who can help.

Is Microdosing Right for You?

Microdosing isn't for everyone. If you have a medical condition, take medication, or have a history of psychosis, talk to a doctor first.

Microdosing is a tool, not a magic pill. It works best in combination with a healthy lifestyle and personal development work. - Roman
