Microdosing Psilocybin: How to Start and What to Expect
Microdosing psilocybin is gaining popularity across Canada, and for good reason. It’s subtle, manageable, and many users report real improvements in mood, focus, and creativity. Unlike full trips, microdoses don’t make you feel high — they work quietly in the background to support your mental well-being.
If you’re considering microdosing but don’t know where to begin, this guide will walk you through how it works, what it feels like, and how to find the right product.
What Is Microdosing?
Microdosing means taking a very small amount of psilocybin, usually about one-tenth of a regular recreational dose. The goal isn’t to trip. It’s to gain mild, positive effects without losing focus or control.
Many users say it helps with:
- Clearer thinking
- Reduced anxiety
- Improved mood and emotional balance
- Better energy and motivation
Because of these effects, people often microdose during the workweek or while pursuing creative projects.
How Much Is a Microdose?
Here’s a quick breakdown of typical microdosing amounts:
| Form | Dose Range | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Capsule | 100mg–300mg | Smooth, consistent daily use |
| Infused Drink | ¼ to ½ bottle | Fast onset and lighter mood boost |
| Dried Mushrooms | 0.1g–0.3g | Harder to measure, less consistent |
How to Microdose
The most common method is to take a microdose every third day. That gives your brain time to rest and keeps tolerance low. Here’s a popular schedule:
- Day 1: Take your microdose in the morning
- Day 2: No dose, observe how you feel
- Day 3: Still off, reflect on subtle changes
- Day 4: Take your next dose
Repeat for 4 to 6 weeks, then take a break. Keep notes on your mood, energy, and focus — this will help you decide if it’s working.
What It Feels Like
With the right dose, you won’t feel “high.” You may just feel more present, upbeat, or clear-headed. Some describe it as a very light glow or background calm.
If you ever feel spacey or distracted, your dose may be too high. In that case, wait a few days and reduce the amount next time.
Best Products for Microdosing
At Zoomers, we carry several psilocybin products designed for microdosing:
- Capsules: Pre-measured for consistency and easy tracking
- Infused drinks: Great for sipping and ideal for new users
- Low-dose edibles: Mild potency and pleasant taste
Dried mushrooms can work too, but it’s harder to be precise without a milligram scale.
Is Microdosing Legal in Canada?
Psilocybin is still technically restricted in Canada, but personal use is widely tolerated. Many people order from online dispensaries like Zoomers, which offer discreet shipping and clear labeling.
We always recommend using products responsibly and starting small. If you’re on medication or have mental health concerns, talk to a professional first.
