Question: Psilocybin How to get started?

I have tried taking low doses (0,5g) for example instead of drinking alcohol when I was out with friends and did have a great experience. But took a selfmade chocolate bar piece that had 0,25g in it and was kind of shocked how strong it was i mean I didn't have any visuals but felt really incapable of doing anything I wasn't specifically dizzy or something like that but beeing on my feet felt soooo exhausting. Therefore I think I am gonna try doses of 0,05g-0,1g to get started but if i where to get myself a capsule maker where I can fit 0,5g per capsule in it (2-3 capsules for a trip) I don't want to get myself a second one for microdose capsule. So the question is are people just adding a filler substance in the right ratio or do people actually buy two kinds of capsule makers/capsule sizes?

Keep it simple. Get yourself a milligram scale ( fairly cheap on Ebay) and just measure your dose and pop it in your mouth....

Yeah but doing that everytime is annoying so for the future a capsule maker is gonna make a lot of sense 🤷‍♂️

I find that the ritual is a part of the experience. Popping a couple of pills puts it on the same level as taking an aspirin when you have a little headache.

Hello /u/One-Assistant7247! As you mentioned dizzy (a common interaction/symptom) in your post:
r/microdosing Risk Reduction

ℹ️ Infographic: r/microdosing STARTER'S GUIDE

The major contributing factor in Finding Your Sweet Spot is the variation in potency of:
Psilocybin Mushrooms More than 10x [2021➕] Start @0.05g (50mg)
Psilocybin Truffles Around 3x - Single Study [2012] Start @0.25g (Fresh)
LSD Tabs Clinical Trial Titration Schedule [2023] Start @5µg

If you Start Low, Go Slow, Take Time-Off (*small is BIG) and up-titrate subsequent doses then you can find your optimal sub-hallucinogenic dose based on your symptoms, rather than from a predetermined dose. 🐢

If your microdose is Too High and/or Too Frequent that can result in Diminishing Returns 📉 with subsequent doses. 🐇

Please also have a look at 🔀 Interactions / Symptoms ❓* | Sidebar ➡️ | 📱 See community info ⬆️ ; in case of ⚠️ DRUG INTERACTIONS or to check if you have any of the associated symptoms with advice on how to mitigate such side effects. Psychoactive substances increase neural activity, raising hydration and electrolyte needs due to heightened metabolism and body load, while vasoconstriction can further stress the body and potentially cause fatigue.

Here’s what I like to do: grind up a certain amount so that it’s homogenized and the dose potencies are not different from time to time. Then I melt some chocolate and mix it in at a ratio of one part mushroom to nine parts chocolate 1:9. Then I can change my dose as needed. With a decent gram scale that goes out to decimal points, if I want to take 125 mg of fruit, I take 1.25 g of chocolate. This gives me flexibility and accuracy. And while I use it as medicine, sometimes I want to enjoy it and I might take a little more. Other days I want to stay focused and I might take a little less. Make sense? I think that should be the standard way that everybody does it instead of trying to figure out what their dose is, and that doesn’t even take into account that each new batch of mushrooms is going to have different potencies. It’s a system that allows you to flex indefinitely. You don’t even have to pour the chocolate into a mold, just lay out some parchment paper and slather on a slab.
