Microdosing 101: Toronto's Guide To Psilocybin Microdose Capsules

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in specific species of fungi, primarily Psilocybe cubensis, commonly known as magic mushrooms or shrooms. This compound is recognized for its ability to alter perception, mood, and cognitive function. Psilocybin is part of the "psychedelic" family of compounds due to its ability to alter brain perception. 

Psilocybin has shown great potential in treating conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD by promoting neuroplasticity and easing symptoms. It also aids in managing withdrawal symptoms from substances like alcohol and benzodiazepines. 

Higher doses of psilocybin can induce auditory and visual hallucinations while altering your perception of self, a state often called "tripping." These experiences can be profound, leading to heightened consciousness and deeper understanding of your psyche. Although these recreational doses can be intense, many find them both pleasurable and rewarding, with effects that can continue to unfold long after the trip ends. 

Even in small doses, psilocybin can reduce anxiety, enhance focus, and improve mood without the intense experiences associated with higher doses. 

Microdosing involves taking a small, non-psychoactive dose of psilocybin, typically once every other day, to enjoy its medicinal benefits. The goal is to reap the benefits without experiencing the psychedelic effects like hallucinations. 

The ideal microdose is between 100-300mg of dried magic mushrooms.

Method 1: Consuming Small Pieces of Dried Mushrooms
Start by purchasing a bulk amount of dried magic mushrooms and break off a tiny piece to consume. To ensure accuracy, use a highly precise scale to measure the correct 0.1-0.3 gram dose.

Method 2: Grinding Mushrooms into Powder
Grind a large quantity of dried magic mushrooms into a fine powder using a blender like a Magic Bullet. You can add a tablespoon of this powder to your morning coffee or use it to fill empty capsules with a personal Capsule Machine. This method can be time-consuming and messy, so it's advisable to wear an N95 mask or work in a well-ventilated area. 

Method 3: Pre-Made Microdose Capsules
In 2024, vendors like us offer pre-made microdose capsules with consistent measurements, making the process much easier and cleaner. 

Our microdose capsules are made with 100% organic ingredients and meet halal, kosher, and vegan standards. Despite the higher cost, we use vegetable cellulose capsules instead of gelatin, making them suitable for everyone. 

We use only one ingredient—Golden Teachers Psilocybe Cubensis—in our capsules, ensuring a consistent and natural psilocybin experience. 

Our capsules have been produced exclusively by the same supplier since 2022, guaranteeing consistent quality in every dose. They are manufactured in a medical-grade facility with strict sanitation protocols.

If you're microdosing for medicinal benefits, the Fadiman method is an excellent starting point. This approach involves taking a small, sub-perceptual dose of psilocybin every two to three days. Typically, you take a dose on day one, skip days two and three, and then repeat the cycle. This method is designed to help you experience the benefits of microdosing, such as improved mood and focus, without developing a tolerance. 

Dr. James Fadiman is a renowned psychologist and researcher in the field of psychedelics. With a Ph.D. in Psychology from Stanford University, Dr. Fadiman has been a pioneer in psychedelic research since the 1960s. He is particularly known for his work on microdosing and has collected extensive data and anecdotal reports from individuals around the world. As the author of "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide," Dr. Fadiman is a leading authority in the contemporary study of psychedelics. 

Microdosing is a highly personalized experience. While the Fadiman method is a great starting point, don't hesitate to adjust your dose based on your needs and goals. Start with one microdose capsule with breakfast. Remember, it's a non-psychoactive dose, so you won't feel any immediate effects. 

Each night, take a moment to reflect on your day. Were you more productive? Did you feel calmer? These reflections are key to understanding how microdosing affects you. For example, if you're aiming to improve focus, ask yourself if you accomplished more with less effort. 

Based on your reflections, fine-tune your dose or adjust the frequency to find what works best for you. If you notice significant benefits from one capsule, try adding another in two days. Conversely, if you feel anxious or overstimulated, reduce your dosage. 

Keeping a simple journal, or even a notes section on your phone, can help you track your microdosing progress. Documenting your experiences allows you to make informed adjustments and better understand your mental health journey. 

While psilocybin is non-toxic, it does act as a mild stimulant. Many people notice an energy boost from just one microdose capsule. We advise against microdosing within 8 hours of bedtime, as it may interfere with sleep. When starting your microdosing journey, it's best to take your dose in the morning to better manage its effects.

Unlike prescription medications like Xanax, psilocybin microdoses are subtle. You might not "feel" the dose, but that doesn't mean it's not giving you beneifts. You may notice increased productivity or reduced anxiety, or reduced depression symptoms. If you experience intense effects, it may indicate that your dose is too high. 

Even though psilocybin is natural, your body needs a break to avoid building a tolerance. We recommend taking at least two days off after four days of microdosing. Ideally, you should microdose every second day, but it's up to you to find what works best. 

In 2024, alcohol consumption has reached an all-time low as many people turn to microdosing as a natural alternative. The recent LCBO strike further underscored this growing trend of choosing microdosing over alcohol. Unlike alcohol, microdosing enhances social interactions without impairing judgment, and it leaves you feeling refreshed the next day—no hangover required. Interestingly, microdosing can be combined with alcohol for a unique experience, though moderation is key.

Microdosing offers a natural, safer alternative to hard drugs, providing a light, enjoyable buzz without the risks associated with other substances. Unlike cocaine or heroin, psilocybin isn't fatal or toxic, it doesn’t lead to addiction, and it leaves people feeling happy and fulfilled. Unlike those drugs which tend to leave you craving more and emptying your wallet, most clients report that 5-7 capsules in an evening allow them to enjoy themselves and get to bed early. 

Psilocybin is a 100% natural substance with numerous medicinal benefits when consumed in small amounts. The key to effective microdosing is finding the right balance, as the effects are subtle and may lead some to take too much initially. Microdosing empowers you to take control of your mental well-being, offering a personalized approach to mental health care. We recommend starting with the Fadiman method, but your microdosing journey is ultimately up to you. 

Journaling your experiences is essential for tracking progress and making adjustments. Regular reflection—asking yourself whether you were more productive, less anxious, or happier than usual—can help you fine-tune your dosing routine. 

Despite being a natural substance, it's important to take breaks to avoid building a tolerance, and to avoid dosing too close to bedtime. If you're considering swapping alcohol for psilocybin, you're in good company, and there's nothing wrong with combining the two in moderation. 

Our capsules, made from 100% Golden Teachers, are vegan, halal, kosher, and produced in a medical-grade facility to ensure the highest quality.
