Micro-dosing?

Seems to be getting a lot of press. Anyone doing it? (for enhanced creativity at work that is).

Got a developer buddy doing it with shrooms. Says it works great. Took him a few to get dosage right, but he seems psyched.

I'm into femto-dosing, but homeopathy is for losers.

I have had better luck with peyote button than shrooms back in the day. Once retired, micro dosing buttons is up on my list of stuff to do. We will see.

Edit- Never mind I'm sure he has his reasons for erasing his post

I've played around with it in the past, and I can see the benefits for certain situations or professions.

Thanks, I do.

If I could just drive over to the microdose store and pick some up I'd try it.

I was doing psilocybin microdosing for depression/dysphoria. Seemed to work well, much better than SSRIs for me.

What would you say constitutes a microdose of shrooms? Just curious what the thought on this is.

Just go for broke for gods sake!

Macrodosing for long periods of time does not cure depression, I can assure you. Quite the opposite.

Most articles I've read say .2-.5 grams is considered a micro dose... although to me .5 grams seems a little much to consider micro.

Edit for dosage

Varies person to person. 2-5 MG (milligram) seems "standard". I can ask my friend how he has been doing it weight wise. He's been making capsules.

2-5 grams is NOT a microdose. 5 grams is what Terrence McKenna referred to as a heroic dose.

I've been doing the D3 thing. Seems to help when the sun don't shine. Going to get a mega dose in 3 weeks though. Headed to Hawaii to top off and macro dose.

well, technically, 0.2 - 0.5 g is not MICRO either - it's deci; 0.000002 - 0.000005 would be micro.

Pretty sure I'm about to get a sock stuffed in my mouth.

he had decimal points in there my man.

I was responding to skidog. No decimals there.

I've been doing light macro doses periodically and getting most of the same benefit as microdosing. But it's time consuming.

You're right. I thought he just left them out by mistake from the post above his but what do I know.

Yeah I think 2+7 grams had me watching the end of the hall fly away from me at 100 mph.

I need to find some more

Anyone into Mega-dosing?

I believe I read about this in 1980 in Rolling Stone.....

So, if you think 2,000 to 5,000 375 mic hits of pure L is a microdose, consider this an update from the old school, cause that info was from Owsley.

A microdose would be 30-80 mics of pure, probably better on the lower end of that scale to attain that subtle but almost unnoticeable awareness enhancement. With ergotamine tartrate in short supply, it's hard to say what the fuck is in it these days. The recommended dosages you said you read are baselessly whack.

Splat wins.

Holy shit you know a lot about acid.

Are y'all talking about lsd or (synthetic?) psilocybin or something else?

This thread is about psilocybin. Geez splat. lol

Ooooh, shit. Well, there's everything you ever wanted to know about L dosing. There was just a piece in the NYT a few days ago about a woman who was microdosing on L, apparently under the auspices of a psychiatrist, so her progress was logged in her battle against her depression, I believe. Anyone catch that article? I so foolishly assumed that was where the idea for this thread came from. Please excuse me tripping ballz all over the place....carry on.

I've seen these two recently:

http://www.thestranger.com/features/...in-microdosing

http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/...-drugs-w470673

I'd be interested in some useful links about silly-cybin microdosing. Are people taking them with MAO-I's?

I've accidentally microdosed on acid, thinking that it was bunk but realizing after the show that I had puffed a whole eighth during the show by myself and still felt pretty "normal".

When I lived in Steamboat a big group of us "dosed" and we all ate an orange each and piled all the peels on the coffee table. Then, these two guys that were kind of douches walked in and asked, is someone burning a citrus candle?

We all just lost it laughing and they just turned around and walked out.

This was the same night our roommate from Argentina asked us, "will Matt be traveling with you tonight?"

.2-.5 gram

just so we're clear here, if you're talking about straight up mushrooms the prefix you're looking for is deci-

Thanks for the clarification. I suck at math. Good thing I don't microdose I'd probably be in a corner talking to something that wasn't really there.

I knew a guy who was a heavy shroomer. He was on a different plane all the time. Climbed the Grand once after a macrodose of shrooms. He's now a HR guy for a outdoor clothing company.

Fuckin hippies.

I took some micro doses in the late nineties while living in Madrid. Ended up exploring the royal palace at night and walking around the city for 8 hours, culminating in losing my shit when a midget walked into a cafe with a 6'1" hooker.

One of the most fun nights of my life. I didn't know they were still around!

Not so sure those doses were micro.

Micro dots maybe, as in mescaline. Had an interesting night eating those after a couple hits of window panes.

Microdots was acid. Mescaline is pretty big pills https://erowid.org/chemicals/mescali...ine_dose.shtml
