A microdose is a sub perceptual dose of psilocybin, typically 100 to 300 milligrams of dried mushroom. You should feel like yourself but slightly more so, sharper, warmer, more present.
We hear from microdosers across Vanier, Sandy Hill, Hintonburg and Alta Vista every week, most of them starting from our lab tested magic mushroom collection. For the receptor level explanation of why sub perceptual doses work at all, see what magic mushrooms actually do to your brain.
The most popular protocol is the Fadiman protocol, one day on, two days off, for four to eight weeks.
Most Ottawa users we surveyed report improvements in focus, mood, creativity and empathy without any impact on their ability to work, drive or care for children.

If precisely weighing out 100 to 300 milligrams from dried product sounds like more friction than you want day to day, our edibles versus dried mushrooms comparison explains why precision capsules tend to be the easier tool for this specific job. Whatever format you choose, proper storage keeps a full batch of microdose capsules consistent from the first dose to the last, covered in our guide on how to store magic mushrooms so they stay fresh and potent.
