Been doing it for some months on & off, this shit is legit. Altough 0,5g has me tripping so I rarely dose above 100 milligrams. Get up early, do a workout, take cold shower, meditate and then pop a microdose shrooms, feels great. Microdosing is like steroids for meditation. Especially helpful for the programmer logic types of people like me, gets you out of your head for some time and helps you connect with your emot…

I recommend dosing before your workout, I enjoy my long runs a lot more on micro/threshold dose of CBD or acid.

(It's strange that we're using the term microdose, even in scientific contexts - prefixes have meanings - it should be called a decidose.) Anecdotally, I've had a degree of short term success treating my depression with smallish doses of mushrooms, but I've never had the continuing access required for a microdosing regiment. It'd be nice if the government were willing to come to the table on this, but alas. That said…

> night of turmoil.

Can you elaborate?

I have been interested for quite some time to dabble with psilocybin but just haven't yet had the chance with buddies(outside of a work related traveling event) to do so.

I absolutely refuse to try anything like this outside of an environment I have some level of control in or trust in the people around me(not the general public I.E: Bars, clubs, Vegas, etc).

Any advice on what to avoid for a first timer from any experienced person here?

Why do you want to change your condition with a thing, when the answer is inside you?

Yes, go find an experienced person to do it with. Microdoses are fine to do alone, but anything beyond that and you will want a guide.

It can be an unpredictable experience, even in the right setting, so that is why traditionally, entheogens are always consumed in the presence of a shaman/guide.

Edit: How to find them? Go make friends with some artists or hippies. The pizza delivery guy with a crystal necklace? Ask him to hang out :)

The only thing I got from microdosing shrooms was a near death encounter with a bus. :)

Can you elaborate please?

Assumedly, they nearly walked in front of a bus after microdosing(?) shrooms. If not, ELABORATE PLEASE.
