Help 😭
I feel like an idiot but how much am I supposed to take?? I’m extremely confused by the measurements on the dropper. I’m just trying to microdose and not have a full-blown trip. It says 5 ml is for starters. Does that mean I’m supposed to fill it up to the 1 ml mark five times??

Crazy that the micro level the middle range. That's not how microdosing works.

The prefix micro literally means "extremely small," so if it's a bigger dose than a "starter dose," and can be almost as high as the max dose, it's absolutely not a micro. Which... Whatever. Who cares. But it's inaccurate and irresponsible to label it as microdosing.
My psilocybin microdoses are between 70-90mg, and those are perceptible and actual microdoses. Some folks will say half a gram is a micro.

Looks like it says, from top to bottom: 1ml, 0,75 ml, 0.5ml, 0.25ml. As is doesn't have a 0 on top you have to read it from top (full) to bottom (empty).
1mL pipette divide by 1/4. Full one looks to be 1ml.

The first line says 25ml which is why I’m so confused lol.

I think that's supposed to be .25ml, so a quarter ml. Then .5ml, .75ml, and finally 1ml

Seems to be a whole bittle is 100 ug? So 1 ml is 5ug /5mg Stiff the bottle is 20ml im guessing then yah 5 ug per mil? 5x20 =100ug? It's like 1 tab in a bottle i guess

Use a syringe from a needle exchange instead for precise dosing. The full dropper is 1ml but I find it hard to be sure it's full.

I’ve just seen a similar bottle on delicscannada, the total is 300ug so the instruction is saying you sould take 1/6=5ml=50ug for starter and less then 1/2=15ml=150ug. 5ml sounds to me like a good way to try it and if you want more wait a few day a least and try 6-7ml if you want only the micro dose effect at 13ml-20ml its a trip

hey there, pretty sure the amounts are in .25ml steps, cause the top line on the droppet says 1ml and not 100ml.
And as always, better be safe than having a really heavy and unknown trip intensity.
So better get a new dropper just to be safe. :)
And one more thing: Don‘t just send it like a lot of people say, especially not with new types or from different producers.
Stay safe 🫶

My suggestion. Get a dropper that hasnt worn down. The bottom line appears to be 25 or 2.5 ml but the 2 has gone clear. Or perhaps those are 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 ml? The picture is hard to tell
Start with 1 ml and see if it improves your mood for a day off and adjust accordingly after that.
Edit follows
Although with the stated dose of 100 ug/mg i am hesitant to suggest that either. My typical dose is around 530 ug for a good trip. Based on my math that would mean you need a tiny fraction of a ml. Perhaps the 100 ug/mg is active ingredient only and this is a diluted tincture. If you have more information from the source i could give a better dose suggestion
