Understanding Psilocybin and Microdosing
What Is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe cubensis, commonly known as magic mushrooms or shrooms.
When consumed, it converts to psilocin—altering mood, perception, and cognitive function by activating serotonin (5-HT2A) receptors in the brain.
This interaction promotes neuroplasticity, helping the brain form new connections linked to improved mental health, creativity, and emotional balance.
The Medicinal Benefits of Psilocybin
Clinical studies and anecdotal reports suggest psilocybin can:
- Reduce anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms
- Support addiction recovery by easing withdrawal from alcohol or medications
- Boost emotional resilience and cognitive function through increased neuroplasticity
- Encourage personal growth and spiritual awareness

The Recreational Benefits of Psilocybin
At higher doses, psilocybin can produce visual and auditory hallucinations, a sense of ego dissolution, and deep introspection.
While intense, these experiences are often described as transformative and therapeutic when done in a controlled environment with proper set and setting.
The Science Behind Microdosing
Microdosing mushrooms involves consuming sub-perceptual doses—usually 100-300mg of dried magic mushrooms—to gain mental and emotional benefits without hallucinations.
Medicinal Effects of Microdosing
Even small doses of psilocybin can:
- Enhance focus, motivation, and creativity
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve mood stability and productivity
- Support long-term mental wellness
How To Microdose Mushrooms
Method 1: Dried Mushrooms
Break off a small piece (0.1–0.3g) of dried mushrooms, measured with a precision scale.
This method works but can vary in potency depending on the strain and storage conditions.
Method 2: Mushroom Powder
Grind dried mushrooms into a fine powder and measure accurately using a micro-scale. You can add it to drinks or pack it into empty capsules—but expect some mess and inconsistency.
Method 3: Pre-Made Microdose Capsules
The easiest, cleanest, and most accurate option.

How to Get Started: The Fadiman Method
Start With The Fadmin Method
Developed by psychedelic researcher Dr. James Fadiman, this approach helps balance effectiveness and tolerance.
How it works:
- Day 1: Take one microdose capsule (100mg)
- Days 2–3: No dose (rest days)
- Repeat the cycle
This rhythm allows psilocybin’s benefits to build gradually—without tolerance or overstimulation.

Experiment and Reflect
Microdosing is personal. Start small, observe how you feel, and make adjustments.
- Step 1: Take one capsule in the morning with food.
- Step 2: Reflect at night—Did you feel calmer, more creative, or focused?
- Step 3: Adjust your schedule or dose if needed.
Tip: Keep a microdosing journal. Tracking your experiences helps you fine-tune your routine and understand your unique response.
Microdosing Cautions & Best Practices
- Morning Dosing: Psilocybin can be mildly stimulating—avoid dosing within 8 hours of sleep.
- Subtle Effects: You won’t “trip.” Microdosing is about long-term mental clarity, not instant euphoria.
- Take Breaks: To prevent tolerance, take at least two rest days after every four days of dosing.
- Avoid Mixing: While microdosing is natural and non-addictive, avoid combining it with alcohol or prescription drugs unless medically supervised.
Microdosing as a Natural Alternative to Alcohol
Many Canadians are turning to microdosing psilocybin instead of alcohol for social or recreational use.
Unlike alcohol, microdosing:
- Enhances mood without impairing judgmen
- Promotes sociability without hangovers
- Offers a safe, non-toxic, and non-addictive experience
In moderation, some people even combine a microdose with light drinking for balanced relaxation—always responsibly.
