Microdosing is the act of integrating sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics, such as psilocybin truffles or -mushrooms, into your weekly routine. The microdose is being used as a tool to assist in physical-, mental- and emotional wellbeing and personal growth.

Sub-perceptual means the effects are subtle but can have a noticeable influence on your life. Typically, individuals integrate sub-perceptual doses into their weekly routine.

Higher levels of creativity, more energy, increased focus, and improved relational skills are often reported. Some people microdose in order to treat depression or anxiety.

Our goal is to research if some of society's problems such as depression and addiction, can be remedied with the use of plant medicines. We do this by collecting anecdotal evidence from our members and seeing what personal growth is possible with the right intention and guidance.

Microdosing can be done for many different reasons and purposes: to feel more creativity or focus and clarity, to experience more solidarity with yourself or a partner. To get back in touch with your inner compass or simply to cultivate a more positive outlook on life. It cannot be definitely claimed yet that microdosing is actually effective on all of these reported points. This is being mapped out at this time.

It is recommended to stop microdosing after two months in order to experience your daily routine without this "tool" and to take time to integrate the experiences and insights before you start your next trial.

What happens in our brain after taking a microdose? 

Psychedelic substances that are effective in microdose act on the serotonin receptors (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT). This system regulates our thinking and the way we learn. Our nervous system contains all kinds of unique serotonin receptors, which collectively regulate a variety of functions, ranging from our mood to our bowel movements. The receptors primarily responsible for our learning, memory, and thinking are the 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors, and 5-HT2 is the one where psychedelics interact the most.This explains the cognitive boost caused by the microdosing of psilocybin.
