WANT TO GIVE YOUR DAY A BOOST?

Many people think that the truffle and the mushroom are completely different products but nothing could be further from the truth. The mushroom grows from mycelium, a network of threads of the fungus. However, the mushroom only grows under certain conditions, if these are not present then the mycelium will want to store the nutrients underground and does so by growing truffles. The goal is to store the nutrients until the conditions are right so it can grow the mushrooms then. In contrast to the magic mushroom, the truffle has a very constant amount of psilocybin per gram and therefore the truffle is more suitable for fresh microdosing.

There are a number of ways in which you can deal with this, and various protocols have been developed for this. Paul Stamets' protocol is that you take a microdose for 4 days in a row, then you take nothing for 3 days and then the protocol starts again. Then there is James Fadiman's protocol where you take a dose on day 1 followed by 2 days without taking a dose, after which you start again at day 1.

The more experienced microdosers often switch to an intuitive protocol where they only microdose on the days they need to or when it feels good to do so.

Because of the long effect of 1P-LSD (10 - 12 hours), it is advisable to do this at the beginning of your day, take the bottle out of the refrigerator and shake it for a while. Put a few drops in your mouth (the number of drops depends on the person) and leave it in your mouth for a few minutes before swallowing. Normal water breaks down the effect of the drug, so make sure you don't drink any water from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after taking it.

The truffles are packed in ready-made microdose portions of 1 gram each, delivered in a strip of 6 portions. Take 1 gram from the package together with your breakfast (leave the rest still closed for a better shelf life) and swallow it whole, do not chew! You can do this with a glass of water or milk but do not use carbonated drinks. Some people are used to chew on the truffles, this ensures that the active substance psilocybin is absorbed faster by your body so the effects starts faster. However, this is not what you want in microdosing, by not chewing the substance is more gradually absorbed by your body so you do not experience a peak but a subtle effect.

It is also possible to mix the truffles in a fruit or vegetable shake if you have problems with the taste of the truffles.

Microdosing is simply taking a very small amount of psychedelics such as psilocybin (truffles or magic mushrooms), LSD or other substances. The dose ingested is usually about 5% to 10% of the normal trip dose. People who microdose do so for many different reasons, such as boosting productivity, energy and cognitive functions but also to reduce stress, depression or anxiety. Microdosing can be seen as a tool to improve certain aspects of your life.
