Serving guide

Each capsule contains 50 mg, 100 mg or 150 mg of dried mushroom, depending on the size. 20 capsules per bottle.

Microdosing is usually described as a dose too small to cause noticeable effects. Start with one 50 mg capsule on a day without driving or other responsibilities, to see how you respond.

The research on microdosing is mixed: a placebo-controlled study found no improvement in wellbeing, focus or creativity. These capsules are not a treatment for any condition.

Timing

• Onset: usually 20–60 minutes; longer after food, and often longer with chocolate.
• Peak: about 1–2 hours in.
• Duration: about 4–6 hours, with after-effects for up to 8.

Don’t take more because you “don’t feel anything yet”. Wait the full 2 hours.

Don’t combine with

• Lithium. In an analysis of online reports, nearly half of people who combined lithium with a classic psychedelic described a seizure.
• MAOIs, including some antidepressants and harmala brews such as ayahuasca. They can change the effects in ways that are hard to predict.
• Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs and others). These can change or blunt effects. Never stop or change a prescribed medication without talking to your doctor.
• Alcohol, cannabis or other substances. They make effects less predictable.

Avoid psilocybin if you

• have, or have a close family history of, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, severe bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder
• have a heart condition or high blood pressure (psilocybin raises heart rate and blood pressure)
• are pregnant or breastfeeding
• are under 18

Never drive or operate machinery for the rest of the day.
