Microdosing magic mushrooms is a popular practice these days.
It’s used as a form of nootropic (substances that increase focus and memory) to boost productivity and creative thought process.
This concept involves taking magic mushrooms at a sub-psychoactive dose (it won’t make you high) on an ongoing basis.
This practice was made famous after it came to light that a circle of Silicon Valley CEOs and executives were using microdoses of magic mushrooms to be more productive and improve higher cognitive reasoning and thought.
What Does a Microdose Feel Like?
Microdoses of magic mushrooms (below the psychoactive threshold) produce a sense of focus and increased creativity.
The effects are strongest on the first day but gradually become more subtle the more you use them. This is because the body quickly develops a tolerance to the psychoactive effects of the mushrooms — but this doesn’t mean they’re not offering any benefits.
Some people won’t experience any perceptual or physical changes, even with the first dose.
The goal of using microdoses is to achieve a higher level of focus and productivity over time. They’re used to assist in developing new habits and routines and achieve a better grasp on emotional and interpersonal connections.
The first few days of taking a microdose can result in some mild perceptual changes — such as slight waviness in vision (especially when looking at a digital screen), tingly sensations throughout the body, and changes in depth-perception in the hands and limbs.
Microdoses can also cause some mild changes in mood (either extra social or slightly antisocial), a feeling of mild euphoria, and alterations in workflow or focus.
Over the course of a few days, you should notice most of the perceptual changes disappear. You should still experience the benefits of focus, concentration, and creativity.
