MicroDose Capsules are a new way to experience the benefits of psilocybin without the intense, psychedelic effects. Each capsule contains precisely measured doses of psilocybin, allowing you to tap into the therapeutic potential of this powerful compound without overwhelming your senses. This method of consumption allows for easier integration into daily routines, providing a subtle enhancement to your mental faculties without the need for significant life changes.

This is a loaded but important question. There are many schools of thought on this.

Personally, we microdose every day as a part of our morning routine but some other methods have been proven very effective. Try a few and see what works best for you.

Dr. Fadiman’s Approach
Dr. Fadiman recommends taking a microdose capsule once every 3 days to prevent any changes in tolerance. Workweek Approach For a boost in energy and cognition during a hard work week, this approach recommends taking one microdose capsule 5 days a week, and taking the weekend off.

Balanced Approach
Kind of like Dr. Fadiman’s approach, this balanced approach will help prevent changes in tolerance but instead of once every three days, you’d be taking a microdose capsule once every other day.

Weekday Approach
Microdose every weekday, skip the weekends.

Daily Approach
Microdose daily.

The Stamets Stack: Developed by mycologist Paul Stamets, this protocol involves “stacking” several supplements to create a nootropic stack. The ingredients include:
0.1 grams of Psilocybe cubensis mushroom
5-20 grams of whole or powdered Lion’s Mane OR 50-200mg of Lion’s Mane extract
75-200 mg of Niacin (Vitamin B3)

The microdosing schedule for the Stamets Stack is as follows:
Days 1-4: Microdosing days
Days 5-7: Transition days
Days 8-11: Microdosing days
Days 12-14: Transition days
Lion’s Mane is believed to promote neurogenesis and stimulate nerve growth, while Niacin helps deliver the compounds to neurons and the brain blood barrier.

Most of the work microdosing will do for you is in the background, it may be a little challenging to know if microdosing is working for you. The compounds in magic mushrooms are proven to help rewire the brain, however, this takes time and because of that, the effects might not seem super dramatic. If you look a little deeper you should notice some major changes in your outlook, emotional and mental health, creativity and more. You should notice an overall change in perceived well-being, possibly less bothered by things that would normally really bug you, you could find yourself worrying less and enjoying the world around you more. Microdosing isn’t a magic “cure-all” but it’s a very powerful tool for changing your outlook on life and allowing you to be a more well-rounded you.

When taken in microdoses, psilocybin has been shown to increase neural connectivity, promote neuroplasticity, and enhance cognitive function. This can lead to improved mental performance, increased creativity, and a greater sense of overall well-being. Studies suggest that even small doses can lead to significant improvements in mood, creativity, and focus, making microdosing an appealing option for professionals and students alike.

Here is a bigger page about microdosing.

Magic mushrooms are any psilocybin/psilocin-containing mushrooms. These compounds make them hallucinogenic and have been used by people for thousands of years in ceremonial practice, for medicinal reasons and recreation. Psilocybin mushrooms; commonly known as magic mushrooms, mushrooms or shrooms, are a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain psilocybin which turns into psilocin upon ingestion.

1. Mental health benefits: Psilocybin has shown promise in treating mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, with the FDA recognizing its potential as a “breakthrough therapy” for depression.
2. Addiction treatment: Psilocybin may help individuals overcome addiction and addictive behaviors.
3. Cognitive enhancement: Potential benefits include improved cognitive function, enhanced problem-solving skills, and better focus and concentration.
4. Symptom relief: Psilocybin can help alleviate symptoms of conditions like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), cancer-related symptoms, and stress.
5. Personal growth and creativity: Users may experience increased creativity, spiritual awareness, and personal growth, as well as improved relational skills and mood.
6. Cognitive development: Psilocybin can improve problem-solving skills, enhance openness and other beneficial personality traits, and promote self-efficacy.
7. Social benefits: Users may experience improved social skills, reduced symptoms of stress and anxiety, and increased feelings of optimism and life appreciation.
8. Physical benefits: Potential advantages include improved body functioning, energy, wakefulness, and stimulation.

Microdosing (Up to .25g)

A small dose isn’t enough to “trip” in the traditional sense, but can lead to subtle yet profound internal shifts. Improvements in mood, productivity, or creativity, enhanced focus, less reactivity, and the possibility of relief from depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, and a variety of other symptoms.

Level 1 (0.25-1 gram)

This level produces a mild “stoning” effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etcetera). Some short-term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound “wider”.

Level 2 (1 to 2 grams)

Bright colours, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2-dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change in short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. The vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed.

Level 3 (2 to 3.5 grams – medium to high recreational dose)

Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing on wood-grained or “mother of pearl” surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colours, etcetera). Time distortions and “moments of eternity”.

Level 4 (3.5-5 grams – heavy recreational to spiritual dose)

Strong hallucinations, i.e. object morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out-of-body experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.

Level 5 (5+grams – heroic/spiritual dose)

Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and other such labels).

Absolutely! Many studies are proving how beneficial psilocybin mushrooms are for mental health and we can speak from first-hand experience that it is true! Our reviews section is filled with people speaking about the benefits of magic mushrooms, in particular to their depression.

If you’re consuming them on a regular basis, yes. You should wait 2 weeks between larger doses of magic mushrooms to reset your tolerance.  You don't need to do this, shrooms are not toxic but you will need a larger dose if you trip again shortly after tripping.

Psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic.

You cannot technically overdose on mushrooms as the amount needed would be basically impossible to eat. You can have a bad trip though. Bad trips can make you face difficult things in your life, internal things that you often ignore or have suppressed. If this happens, just know that you will be OK, and after your trip you will most likely feel better about those issues, this is being studied by professionals for use in therapy.

Bad trips are not very common and they should not deter you from taking mushrooms, if you take them responsibly.  People have been eating magic mushrooms since we started walking and there have only been a few instances of people taking too much and harming others. As with any substance, shrooms must be taken with caution and good intentions.  Injuries and harmful acts are EXTREMELY rare, they are minuscule (unlike alcohol or cocaine). People on mushrooms tend to appreciate everything, be very chill and full of laughter to the point of tears.

However, if you do feel that you seriously need help. We advise you call a loved one or seek medical attention.  Our products are made with actual mushrooms and do not interact with many medications, however it is possible so be sure to do your research if you are on any medications such as anti-depressants, anti-psychotics or antibiotics.

The short answer is maybe, and you should NEVER consume recreational amounts of mushrooms before you work or operate any kind of vehicle. However, most drug tests do not test for psilocybin/psilocin, almost all of them test only for cannabinoids, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates and PCP. Always use mushrooms responsibly.

Magic mushrooms are not addictive. You can Microdose daily with no addiction issues whatsoever. Our bodies build up a tolerance though so while microdosing daily is fine, you would need larger and larger doses to get the same experience. We recommend taking a break of 2 weeks or more between trips for efficiency.

Psilocybin is a natural ingredient and does not contain any addictive properties so NO withdrawal symptoms.

If you store your mushrooms in a cool, dry, dark place and they’re sealed in a zipper bag, Tupperware, or mason jar, they will retain potency for a long time. If they get damp there is a possibility of them growing mould, so always store them sealed with the desiccant/silica packet we provide.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience from our magic mushrooms, please use them responsibly and with caution. The following guidelines can help minimize risks and maximize benefits:

1. Respect the recommended dosage: Avoid taking more than the suggested amount of mushrooms to reduce unnecessary risks.
2. Have a trusted trip sitter present: If you're new to magic mushrooms, have a sober trip sitter nearby to provide guidance and support in case of an emergency.
3. Avoid combining substances: Refrain from mixing magic mushrooms with other substances, such as cannabis or alcohol, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects.
4. Keep Vitamin C readily available: Having Vitamin C on hand can help mitigate intense effects if you've taken a stronger dose than intended.
5. Stay hydrated after the experience: Drink plenty of water after the trip to help flush out the psilocybin and restore your normal state more quickly.

By following these guidelines, you can significantly increase your chances of having a positive and enlightening experience with our magic mushrooms.

Yes, if you are not happy with your product, we will send you a replacement product or a refund (minus shipping) once you return the original.
