Quick Hits on Microdosing THC & Mushrooms<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Microdosing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Allows you to maintain functional control, while taking the edge off your busy day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Is possible with cannabinoids, like delta 8 THC, and magic mushrooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Depends greatly on the strength of the product and personal bioavailability factors, such as height, weight, metabolism, and tolerance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a “Micro”-dose?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forget the recommended or heroic doses. Microdosing is a more subtle way of enjoying your go-to psychoactive wonders. But, you\u2019ll need a little finessing to find the proper dose, keeping your brain box just slightly elevated. First, for a successful microdose, it\u2019s gonna be important to know your tolerance for whatever it is you\u2019re microdosing. We like to call this step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start in the Clouds\u2014Walk Your Way Down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Think back to your best experiences with magic mushrooms or THC edibles. We\u2019re talkin\u2019 about the times you spoke to aliens or found the secrets of the universe buried in a bar code. Now, think back to how much you took. This is where it gets super subjective. You<\/em> may have taken two gummies, but your glassy-eyed, tree-whisperer buddy may have taken only one, and yet, they clearly got more baked than you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where your tolerance comes into play. Think of your tolerance as a baseline. This baseline is what we’ll be workin’ with when microdosing. Your tolerance for magic mushrooms and THC edibles depends on several factors, like how often you enjoy the psychoactive substance, your body composition, and other bioavailability factors. So, a microdose for you may be a regular dose for others and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When calculating your own microdoses, start with your regular dose and work your way down\u2014way<\/em> down. Typically, some people will cut their regular dose in half or even quarters just to start as low as possible, and then work their way back up to a comfortable groovy middle ground. So, when in doubt, start in the clouds and walk your way down to a smaller dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Note for Beginners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What if you\u2019ve never enjoyed the effects of these psychotropic wonders before and wanna start your journey off with a microdose? We\u2019re so happy you asked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab your product, whether it\u2019s mushroom chocolate or a THC edible, and check the label for a recommended serving. For microdoses, split this recommended serving size in half or quarters and start with that for your first microdosing experience. But remember, don\u2019t take another serving until you\u2019ve fully felt the effects from the first dose. This can take up to two hours to kick in or longer, depending on certain bioavailability factors. So, patience is key, my microdosing mentee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of a Microdose<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, why on Earth would someone like to stay on Earth<\/em> when enjoying the effects of THC gummies or magic mushroom chocolates? Well, Grandpa, not everyone is tryin\u2019 to get blasted to Stoney Cloud Nine like they did in the \u201970s. Microdosing mavens like to sip their psychedelia, enjoying the aromatic notes of a calm, warm buzz, making for a more manageable, steady daytime experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, many party people prefer starting an experience with a microdose to test the waters of a new product. They take a fraction of a recommended serving their first time around, sussing out the psychotropic effects before diving face-first into the stratosphere. Because they split the product into many microdoses, the microdosers can also enjoy more bang for their buck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is a Microdose Safe?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When enjoyed by responsible adults, yes, microdosing is safe. But, as with other products containing mushrooms or cannabinoids, these microdosing products should be kept safe from pets and children. Also, be sure not to take one of these microdosing products before operating heavy machinery or driving, as they can cause impaired driving and affect your perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Best Substances to Microdose?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The substances that score well with microdosing adults are psychoactive substances, like THC and magic mushrooms. Substances like these, when taken in small amounts, can lead to mild, psychotropic effects that help improve mood and create a trippy, psychoactive experience. But remember, when microdosing these mushrooms or THC, it’s always best to start with half or a quarter of your standard dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the Effects of a Microdose Last as Long as a Standard Dose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but those effects won\u2019t be as strong. Even though it\u2019s a microdose, the gummy or chocolate will take the same route as a standard dose, leading to a similar (though slightly muted) timeline for effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Microdose Mushrooms<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ditch the scale\u2014no need to precisely weigh your microdoses. We make our Magic Mushroom Chocolates with microdosers in mind. For microdosing, we recommend between 1-3 pieces of mushroom-infused chocolates. Like any other edibles, these take some time to absorb into the body before they incite psychotropic effects. So, as we mentioned before, patience is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic Mushroom Chocolates<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Magic Mushroom Chocolates use a proprietary blend of Neurotonin and potent nootropic mushroom extracts to produce psychoactive effects in your brain and waves of a gentle, warm buzz throughout your body. We craft \u2019em with all-natural ingredients and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. These microdose bad bois come in five deliciously sweet flavors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
