This showed up, as expected… I like that things are sealed in smaller packages (ie. neuro stack of 30 is 3x10 packs) should help with freshness

How did it end up for you? Reorder worthy?

I went through 60 pills and cant say I noticed a difference.

60 of what dosage, at what interval?

May not have been strong enough, or they may just not be helpful to you. My wife does just fine on 50mg, where as I need 250mg.

When I was searching for real legitimate medical research, I couldn't find anything compelling on a true microdosing regime. Probably because it's MUCH harder to control than 1 or two macro-doses. But, in my tiny brain, I decided that I would dose less frequently, and aim for a mildly or marginally perceptible dose for a few reasons.
1) I wasn't sure of the efficacy of the smaller doses
2) I wasn't sure I'd stay on schedule for the smaller doses
3) if there was any beneficial placebo effect, it seemed like a perceptible dose was going to improve that effect
4) the effect was pleasant

Yeah, I ended up having 2 pills/dose… I don’t think that ends up being long enough to do much. Now I just toss dried mushrooms in the blade grinder and mix into chocolate bars and since I have a kitchen scales that’s useless to even accurately dose coffee I just do it ES style now. Try to stick to the 1 on, 2 off schedule now too and I would say I’m noticing a difference. Can’t even remember the last time I’ve yelled at anything… well besides in traffic, no cure for that one

[ExtraSlow]

My kids only hear me swear when I'm driving or on a work call. Lol.

But amazon has some very affordable precision scales if you want to dose dried mushrooms more accurately.
I've ground them into my coffee. Don't mind the taste.

I went with manufacturers recommended 2 pills of Neuro daily, 5 on 2 off. 6 weeks worth.

Probably a dosage thing, I weigh two max_boosts

First time though, didn't feel like playing around, read about the cumulative effects and figured I'd just see how it went.

The macro plan sounds interesting, I'll look more into that. Certainly cheaper than the fancy premade microdoses.

wait for a sale on organic canada or something, and you'll get a bog of dried stuff for free.

I'll toss in my two cents. I ordered the 60 pack of neuro from Organic about this time last year. It was good for ES, so good enough for me. I initially started on one of the recommended schedules, 5 days on and 2 days off. The 100mg was definitely enough for me to feel it when it kicked in about 30-45 mins after taking it. Granted, I was taking it on an empty stomach before lunch. I switched to 4 days on and 3 days off. It was nice because I had the weekend to reflect on things, which is one of the things that is recommended as well. Eventually I switched to 1 day on and 2 days off and I found that it worked great for me.

I read that keeping a daily journal helps with this and that's what I did, I've never kept one prior to this. Before I started the process, I wrote down a few things that I was looking to get out of this (less stress, less anger, etc. YMMV). I would come back to it every night and just write down about how the day went. Looking at it right now and funny enough, but my dose days had very little written down about the day, it was the two days after the fact that I would write a lot more about how things went. It was in the two days after the dose that I would write more about my feelings and thoughts. Don't know if it was the micro dosing, the journal or the combination of the two but it helped, a lot. So much so that I never even finished the full 60 pills, I think I have about 5 left still. It felt natural to stop taking them and I slowly stopped keeping the journal. Towards the end of it I didn't feel the need to reach for them, it was like their job was done and the rest is up to me now. Things are getting a little crazy these days again, so I'm thinking about starting this for another round. I'll probably start with a journal first and see how things go from there. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about giving this a try.

Journaling can be a powerful tool as well, good call. I never had success with it, but lots have.

Speaking of which:

[whoreads]

Thanks for that, also I am curious if any of you microdosers still take the occasional long trip, you know like 5 grams or more?

I miss those fun long trips with friends, it's been years and I think I'm due for another one.

There is way more benefit in macro dosing than micro in my opinion.

I've heard some anecdotal experience to support this. One day I hope someone can design a proper scientific study that can really compare the mental health benefits between infrequent macro-doses, moderate-frequency moderate doses, and frequent micro-doses. I don't know a lot about medical research experimental design, but I can imagine that's really tough to design for in a rigorous way. Come to think of it, I do know someone in the psychological research field, I should ask them their opinion.

What's great about all of this, is that the risks seem quite well understood, well researched, and not severe in my opinion. Lower risks with personal experimentation or dosage adjustment with this than any other pharmaceutical intervention.

I took all 4 at once (have a naturally high tolerance) and uncovered some dark secrets about myself.



Hahahahha this has me sold.

Went ahead and ordered some of the Neuro's and got the free 3.5g of Albino Avery. Previously got bad gas and gut rot from others I have taken, so hopefully these are different. Quite interested in the Albinos, as I havent done regular dosage in many many years.

Not sure how you are dosing. But try adding some ginger powder for the gut rot.

Lemon supposed to help top,

Lemon supposed to help top,

If you grind up and soak in lemon juice it starts the process that usually happens in the stomach, so it does indeed help the gut rot … but be warned, it also increases the strength immensely (but shortens duration)

Banana helps, apparently they have sort of anti fungal properties, rule of thumb is something like 1 banana/gram. Haven’t tried it with anything beyond a sub 1g dose but did notice a difference in bloating

[BavarianBeast]

Lemon-tek is certainly the best way to dose imo.

Just use about 30% less than you regularly would, as Ercchry mentioned it’s a bit stronger and shorter duration
