A microdose is a small amount of a psychedelic, producing sub-perceptual to mild effects. Potential benefits include improved mood, creativity, focus, and flow state, varying by user. A typical dosage is 0.1–0.5 grams of dried mushrooms.

To optimize your benefits, create a routine with designated “off days,” such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Taking your microdose early may help you adjust to the effects. Microdosing later in the day may be beneficial, too, but avoid waiting too long as it might disrupt your sleep.

If preparing your own microdose: finely grind mushrooms and use a scale for accuracy

Or: Prepare your Lost Garden capsules, kisses, or a piece (or a fraction of a piece) of your chocolate bar.

Start with 100 mg and be sure to give yourself time to adjust before increasing your dose.

Microdosing is subjective— some prefer subtle to no effects, others may prefer to feel more.

Set aside time for your microdosing journey, stay within legal boundaries, and avoid it if you have mental health concerns. Pairing microdosing with healthy habits and a positive mindset is ideal for working toward your desired results.

Depending on the individual, the insights or benefits from mushrooms may come during OR after the experience. It can be helpful to journal or take notes to capture what resonates with you.

Mushroom potency can vary widely, even within the Cubensis species. Always know your specific mushroom and dosage, as these are just general guidelines.
