I stick that shit way up under my car and at least for weed, I never have to worry about them smelling anything or just having that in the cavity of my car. Plus If they really want me. They gonna have to get in there hands and knees and work for it. I get a lot of satisfaction out of that haha.
Ya don’t go by number of caps. Microdosing needs to be a precise measurement so you don’t do too much. Key is to use a Coffee Grinder and a Scale that goes to .000. Size 0 gel caps.
Most people do about .15 to .2

People aren't born with mental illness. Symptoms of schizophrenia usually start between the ages of 16 and 30.
When I was a teenager I watched my live in boyfriend develop it. We all thought he was just hitting the LSD a little too hard. Nope, boy was drifting away all on his own.
Does he seem a little dazed or confused? Does he get evasive when you try to question him? Maybe he's a bit paranoid? Is he jumpy and distracted? Here are some things to look for.
If your friend isn't responding coherently, you should recommend he see a doctor. If he won't see a doctor, you should notify his family that you're concerned about him.
If you ever do this again, could you first do a test at http://www.cambridgebrainsciences.com/ sober and one when microdosing just to see if it changes anything particular. Like memory, reasoning, concentration and planning.
I don't know where you get that but it's not a full on trip. I'm not having any visuals. I've had trips on truffles before and for that you easily eat 15 grams. The amount of psylocibin in 1.4 grams of truffles should be around the right dose of psylocibin for a microdose. The amount I took is even as advised in the how-to made by Dr. Fadiman (https://www.scribd.com/doc/291157181/290897905-MD-HOW-TO-info)
However if I am to try this again I think I would lower the dose to .5 grams

Darknetmarkets can be an option even if your computer is crappy. You could use a bootable linux live CD/DVD. You could use TAILS, for example.
Growing magic mushrooms is very easy, and the spores can be shipped nearly anywhere, legally. A pressure cooker isn't even an absolute requirement. You can probably harvest wild ones if you you live in AZ.
Finally, there are a few legal psychedelics, such a Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds which helped me with some minor depression. They've got much worse side effects than the illegal things, but not as bad as depression. Kratom may also help, but it's not psychedelic. It seriously boosts my mood and motivation, though.
Didn't find a 404, perhaps try refreshing? Or maybe this link, which doesn't contain a space. We have a custom hosting solution, but it has been up for me all week.
This is a nonprofessional community collaboration, intended to reach people who need the information. Unfortunately there aren't very good "legitimate" conduits for distributing this kind of material en mass. So I apologize if the ads and setup have a jenky grey market feel :)
You need to read more papers like this pdf if you think this. I'm definitely not a WOD supporter. I've given drugs like MDMA and LSD to people in the laboratory. I think they're generally safe when used right. But no one has ever looked at the cardiac safety of frequent use.
There is theoretical reason to be concerned: Psychedelics are 5-HT2AR agonists. They also tend to stimulate 5-HT2BR because the receptors are so similar. 5-HT2BR is on heart valves and stimulating them makes cells divide and fibers form.
To be clear, we don't know how risky microdosing is yet. There are no studies. But heart valve disease is serious and I agree with Dave Nichols' comments quoted here.
0.1g is definately considered the normal dose, but occasionally there are those who are sensitive to Microdosing, so starting lower .05 is best. And you need a very accurate scale, a jeweler's scale, similar to this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ESHDGOI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_K1FRFbZGJFVX8
Also you really need to read all the info and pick a dosage regimen. Fadimans is 5 days straight with a 2 day break but it's been pretty much established that your tolerance goes up quickly so a protocol like 3 times a week, mon, wed, fri is easy or 2 days on 1 day off.
There’s been a lot of money put into propaganda that portrays psychedelics as mind melting and dangerous. Some people have never learned anything besides that, and it’s just not true!
This book: Psychedelic Medicine: The Healing Powers of LSD, MDMA, Psilocybin, and Ayahuasca
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1620556979/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hu2kFbGFXF4AQ
is really neat and goes into the science (simply) of how these awesome chemicals interact with our minds and bodies.
Yes, psychedelics can be extreme, and amazing.
In my opinion, there’s a right, a wrong, and a fun way to use each one. Read as much as you can before using, like any tool. ;)
Edit: just realized what sub I’m in, so y’all already know this. But leaving it for the link cause I really do love that book.
To this date, there are no fully controlled empirical studies on the subject of microdosing. The only research that's has been released are excerpts from Jim Fadiman's pseudo-qualitative study. You can read about those in his book "The Psychedelic Explorers Guide" or on ResearchGate.
But I know that some institutes are heavily discussing conducting fully controlled neuro-based research on microdosing and will probably start around late 2017.
10 ug is my sweet spot for microdosing, sometimes higher can work, but it also can put you on a little bit of an edge.
I made this excel papper for some sort of study/logging: http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/microdosing with the help of that I could se that i obviously did more than I was suppose to take.
Here is an empty sheet http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/microdosing-tom
I use these and yes, definitely get them separated. Saves you a lot of time and trouble.
Sure it's very easy. Get some lemon juice - this is what I use https://www.amazon.com/Sicilia-Lemon-Juice-7-oz/dp/B0013Z3L4S
Put your microdose powder in a little bowl and add enough lemon juice to submerge all the powder. Stir it up good and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then drink all the juice and powder and wash it down with a glass of water. The idea is that the lemon juice breaks psilocybin down to psilocin so your body does not have to do that. This has made the effects come on sooner, are more clear and it just seems like a more energizing experience.
Mine did the same thing. After a month of being annoyed, I just got the AWS Gemini-20 and it's FANTASTIC.
yea the only problem with this method is just that there's no way the acid is evenly distributed over the tab. Ill throw the amazon links below to the stuff I bought which works great.
I put 2 100ug tabs into the vials and added 10ml of vodka, so each 1ml has about 20ug and I can acurately dose between .25-.5
Unable? Not so my friend! You just need to keep it sorta roomtemp as I understand. I personally keep mine in a fridge, but that's unnecessary I think. I use a small dark glass bottle, that holds 30ml - which I drop a tab into, and then use a blunted syringe to extract 1.5ml–3ml per dose (depending how much I want that day).
Volumetric is a WAY WAY better way of doing it than cutting up tabs. I'm sure if your bedroom is even a remotely normal room temp your little bottle will be just fine in a drawer or something.
The dark glass bottle, and the syringes (science/non medical type) are available on amazon for not too much money.
— Here is the type of bottle I have (these are very very nice, you could probably get away with a cheaper one, but hey, it's nice to have nice things :)
Math is easy. If you put a tab say a 100ug tab into 30ml of water, then if you take 3ml of that water, you would be getting 10% of that tab. 5—15% is usually a good amount, and you might find that less works better for you.
The ALD52 I have is 125ug per tab. So 125ug in 30ml of distilled water means that 3ml of solution equals 12.5ug of a dose - and often, I take half of that, so only 1.5ml of soultion.
I just started my microdosing schedule after doing some light research and figured why not!
I take 0.1 grams of Psilicybin every 3rd day and have been drinking the 4-Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee every day and just ordered the Stamet's 7 mix on amazon and plan to take this every day for the next two months.
I'm also tracking my progress using the Microdose.me app.
I'm only about 3 doses into it but the days I have microdosed have felt noticeably different.
Its working again! Do not pay too much attention to the design itself though as we are still in the validation phase :D but always good to have UX/UI designers feedback - they tend to have a different set of eyes haha
Tim Ferris posted an article about this, and I could have sworn in that article it said she dosed once every 3 days.

Here is one I made that you can try out, customize it as you want, and please discuss it

I just ordered this one. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. This is helpful. 💜
Buy a scale. They are not expensive.
These are not perfect but will be fine for your needs. $20. Oh with a $6 additional coupon right now. Basically free.
Fuzion Digital Milligram Scale 50g/ 0.001g, Portable Jewelry Scale with LCD Backlit, Tare, Powder Scale, Micro Scale for Powder Medicine, Gold, Gem, Reloading, Batteries Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TBJBFRK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_V7QACX57R1T8M9WH42Z5
Keep in mind the tinier your amount the worse inexpensive scales perform. So if you are shooting for Really small micro doses like 5mg, Wright out more like 20mg and then just cut it into quarters by eye. These scales generally need 10mg or so to be accurate.
Most people take more than that though so you’ll be completely fine weighing day 0.1g / 100mg.
Read a few posts /r/stopdrinking for motivation, also this book helped me in a massive way https://www.amazon.com.au/Allen-Carrs-Easyway-Control-Alcohol/dp/1848374658/ref=pd\_lpo\_14\_img\_1/357-4219062-9091032?\_encoding=UTF8&pd\_rd\_i=1848374658&pd\_rd\_r=b82de39c-e33d-4de2-ad96-460b35526fb9&pd\_rd\_w=5HwhW&pd\_rd\_wg=...
I've tried a bunch of different brands and I really love this one from Nutriflare https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QBGSBRX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_9JD6SKVJKM2G6XZ5DPR5
(The Genius brand mushroom blend is decent too but I think the Nutriflare has a few more types of mushroom in it and seems like it does more for me personally)
Sorry if formatting is bad. On mobile. I use this grinder (came with a handy little brush):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WTPXVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_ZJPZcB4BEnUo7 And these capsules should be suitable but you could go up to a 00 or bigger if you wanna add other stuff. I like mixing a little CBD with it:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X81P5S9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_0PWSBTD4MA74HEK38N3B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
you should be able to buy deionised water it is used in batteries, its what i use
​
Just look up the jewelry scales that look like little rectangular silver boxes with a small circle in the middle. All of the brands on Amazon are literally made at the same crap factory in China.. like a lot of things on Amazon. Different brands buy the same generic product and slap a label on it. Absolutely no difference between them.
I like the silver one with the clear plastic lid because I can put the lid on top and then put the blate pape I fill up with mushrooms on top and weigh it right in the pape. Then I just pick it up and swallow the whole thing. Best way I’ve found to do it.
Well, It’s just a combination of all of the Bs like niacin, b12, has little bit of biotin in it too and some other stuff. Here is the one I take if want to see the label.
I take it for energy, stress reduction, brain function, and it helps enzymes in your stomach. I take a digestive enzyme and probiotics too. Gut health is so important for your brain. 😁👍🏼
Not sure if you can OD on too much Vitamin D, but if you get tested for the deficiency every so often and the doc said it’s ok, I guess it’s ok then. Lol 😆 Stay safe and well! ✌🏼
Weigh Gram Scale Digital Pocket Scale,100g by 0.01g,Digital Grams Scale, Food Scale, Jewelry Scale Black, Kitchen Scale 100g(TOP-100) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y61YW7S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_D8xf34I5hvruN
If you couldn’t end up getting the other one, I bought this from Amazon for under 15 bucks and it works really well
I bought this one on Amazon for $20: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NZ4TSBP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It reads to 0.001g so it's fine for weighing doses down to 0.01g. I checked calibration with a series of NIST class 1 calibration weights and is accurate to +/- 0.003 or better.
As for the bottle, it's a good idea to get one with measuring marks on the dropper as well as the bottle. This is just an example. You can probably find one cheaper....
I hope this helps. You might have to swipe to the last image but this chart is accurate in my experience.
PurecapsUSA - Clear Empty Gelatin Capsules - Size 00 (1,000 Joined Capsules) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I2C7EEI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_H8e-FbX15Q19J
Dissolve it in 250ml of alcohol, then 1ml=1ug. Buy something like this to make your measurements accurate.
20 Packs Plastic Syringe with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PJ6B1WF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
You shouldnt eyeball it because you notice a difference if you are off .01g, it will be fine but really you need to be consistent.
This is the one I use, but any thing like it that goes down to 0.001 milligram scale, and a little cup with pour spout is handy
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_5gP0Fb6VM4PZH
I bought a scale someone recommended me in a separate thread on this same forum. This is it: GDEALER Food Scale, 0.001oz Precise Digital Kitchen Scale Gram Scales Weight Food Coffee Scale Digital Scales for Cooking Baking Stainless Steel Back-lit LCD Display Pocket Small Scale, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E6RE3A0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Y.eOFbK8SEBY3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It seems like the dirty gardener doesn't have them on amazon anymore. I found another source on amazon but the price isn't as good
The seller "Marde Ross & Company" says that theirs are untreated, so I'd go with them.
If you want to be sure and get the same ones I had, the dirty gardener still has them on his website and the price is better than the amazon link.
Depends on what country you're in :) Does amazon ship to you?
https://www.amazon.com/Tightvac-Airtight-Multi-Use-Portable-Container/dp/B0049557HI
Something like this, and then click through the related items too if you're not a fan homie
Grab a coffee grinder and grind what you have into a powder for uniform potency. Then grab a milligram scale and some capsules off amazon. Then make your own capsules... Using a scale with that level of accuracy will allow you to make sure you know what dose you are getting and relelably repeat it time after time. I highly recommend this one. It's incredilby accurate for the $20 price. I use it almost every day for all sorts of small weight. I'd recommend starting with 0.1g (100mg) and going up from there if you feel the need. Happy dosing!!!
thanks for the link, i am from germany. i will check out our pharmacy today. here the link for the bottles i got from amazon: https://www.amazon.de/F%C3%BCnf-20ml-Bernsteinbraunglasflaschen-Dropper-Pipetten/dp/B00IBXPROC/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=dropper+20ml&qid=1558694071&s=gateway&sr=8-3
I started out putting my powder in a small cup with a mouthful of hot coffee.
With 00 size gel caps and a lab spatula you can load them up easily in no time.
Gel caps are much more convenient and totally hides the taste.
I use this lab spatula
Meditation is a beautiful first step. Not only does it do what it’s intended to do but it also teaches at a young age that you don’t need a drug to relieve and accept pain (emotional or physical). It’s a step towards having power over your mind and body which results in power over the world, which is to say control over perspective.
It’s legal, it’s free and nobody can ever take it away from you.
EDIT: this book also has the ability to change anyone’s life. Reminds you that you’re loved as you are. Teaches you so much about letting go by inviting everything in. Depression and anxiety tend to occur from trauma (emotion or physical) and the need to try and control the future or inability to accept the past.
Emotion trauma (from my experience and from speaking with friends extensively) seems to fall down to an individual not feeling loved, not feeling worthy of love, and not feeling loved means not being accepted for who you are. When we force change on people that teaches them that they aren’t good enough at this very moment. Purchase this book and try to get your brother to try breath work. They’ll go hand in hand very well.

It’s pocket sized so great to carry around and very very easy to read.
I would advise just to be patient and get a scale. Not a good idea to eyeball it. You can find scales on Amazon like this one for only $11.99. If you have some headshops in the area they might sell something like that too.
It’s hard to say, I’ve just started it last week also with microdosing lsd. I felt the biggest difference when I added the magnesium which helped with my anxiety.
I bought this one from Amazon. - Organic Lions Mane Mushroom Capsules by Real Mushrooms - 120 Capsules of Extract Powder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SZX3ML/
my stutter came from irregulary breathing.. i downloaded a breath app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apps.paced.breathing) and did that 2-3 times a day for 20 minutes and that completely fixed my stutter. Maybe it can help you too
It is. I noticed there was a new amanita microdosing book released recently, haven't read it yet https://www.amazon.com/Amanita-Muscaria-Microdosing-Medicinal-Mushrooms-ebook/dp/B0BNKN7TX8/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=H1HBKZGLSBNH&keywords=amanita+microdosing+guide&qid=1671626051&sprefix=%2Caps%2C371&sr=8-1
Yeah, once you get a scale, you'll realize that a little dust of powder is the difference between 0.050g and 0.040g and that can be significant.
$20 for mine: Smart Weigh GEM20- 20g x 0.001... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESHDGOI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is where I read about it, amazing book. There's also a Netflix documentary series with the same name. It doesn't cover so much of the history though, the book goes into significantly more detail.

I recently upgraded from a "cheapie" grinder to the Shardor (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JCJGJSX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1).
The better grinder makes a big difference for me. It grinds a whole lot faster,. More importantly for me is that I can set the dial to a specific setting, and it will grind to the same consistency at that setting. That's important to me for really dialing in tincture consistency.
I’m microdosing around twice a week at 0.02g mushrooms
I was doing 0.03g at first but took a 6 week break and even at 0.02g I can feel a come-up. I was thinking of going down to 0.015g
Maybe consider going lower. 0.1g is pretty high for a microdose
As for everything else. Maybe find a therapist? If it’s too expensive I always suggest this book because it helped me so much. Also, start journaling and writing out lists of things you think need changing. Getting it out of your head may help you sort through everything
Of course make sure you’re exercising and eating a healthy diet of mostly vegetables, fruits, and legumes like beans, lentils, split peas etc, and nuts and seeds. Make sure you get outside every day
Meditation can bring up some gnarly stuff as well but it may help you. Lots of intro things out there on YouTube and apps like insight timer. Yoga is amazing, too
As far as LSD goes, microdosing lsd inspired me to learn Spanish a year ago. For me it was like a mental boost, and mushrooms are more like an emotional boost. It’s different for everyone but make sure you’re turning it into a liquid for proper dosing (not cutting the paper into smaller bits)
Good luck my friend, paths aren’t always linear. At the core of each of us is a good soul, waiting to be connected to again
This is the one I have used for the past year and am happy with it. Seems to be on sale now.

Have you ever read the book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience?
This was one of those pivotal texts for me. Working through depressive thoughts is a process whole unto itself (and can be dramatically aided with a therapist), but I think that finding joy in life is its own side of the coin.
I went through a period in my life where nearly everything I was doing was something I didn't actually want to do. Once I identified that the term for the loss of time when you're absorbed into something is called flow, I was better able to address the things I could control and posit myself into a better situation.
One thing for me was taking up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu about a decade ago. Being present and mindful is very, very good for our mind and body, and BJJ forces me into that state--which then brings a stronger sense of wellbeing and satisfaction to my day to day.
Something to consider.
Good place to start
The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Magic Mushrooms https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BD5BYBNC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XCQ1T96XCWSZ29DDN6MX
Initially, best to start with finding a decent company that supplies grow kits.
Your welcome. I'm thinking of flipping the dosage and taking 200 mg in the morning and 100 mg at night. Overall it has made me more calm and less susceptible to OCD tendencies. I also follow Dr Stanfield's rec for a high dosage of Omega 3 (to treat ADHD). I take two of these per day (in separate servings w/food). This is also helpful to be aware of.
They do sell calibration weights like THIS HERE if you're concerned about accuracy.
I use this one. Very simple...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESHDGOI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Look for something that measures 0.001gr
I got this
Any of the ones that have good ratings and come with a calibration weight. Offhand I'd don't recall the name of mine but this is very similar: https://www.amazon.com/THINKSCALE-Milligrams-Precision-Professional-Calibration/dp/B0885S1766/
If it's triggering you, then take a break - you have the luxury of time, and you can come back to it any time you like. There is no schedule or hard agenda for MD. Sleep is incredibly, incredibly important to the healing process. If MD is keeping you from sleeping, absolutely take a break.
In terms of protocol, I just kinda abandoned any of the formalized ones (Stamets, Fadiman etc) - I go with what seems to be working at the time. A few days on, a few off, maybe a week straight, then intermittently. Using my intuition works better for me than someone else's idea of what I should be doing.
Trauma is tricky shit, and I'm sorry you have that in your history. If Somatic Experiencing was working for you, you can try doing some independent work. Judith Blackstone's "Realization Process" is a series of meditations that I've found very effective for relaxing and keeping in my body, without inducing the panic that just straight breath meditation causes. The audiobook is on Audible: https://www.amazon.com/Realization-Process-Step-Step-Spiritual/dp/B00NUD4T9W/ref=sr_1_1
She also has a bunch of books and other media. Check it out.
Another recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-GEM20-Precision-Milligram/dp/B00ESHDGOI Great scale, been using @ 20mg with no problem. I always calibrate 1st & then place the 10g cal weight back on the platform since accuracy is best near middle of a scale's range. Don't tare but just weigh out your dose plus the 10g.
Hey yeah u can get easy to read books like this
Or used ones is cheaper. But I get wanting to go through it with someone. I'm the same.
Hope this cheat sheet link works https://maritalintimacyinst.com/wp-content/uploads/DBT-cheat-sheet.pdf
It's not the same as cbt it's helping you with interpersonal effectiveness, having ur needs met/asserted, emotional regulation/ strong emotions ect, dealing and accepting change/ hard situation (radical acceptance) but its definitely a good approach and gave me coping skills.
I typed capsule filling kit into Amazon and some came up:
You can just buy this, it's about equally as effective but way cheaper:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NRHAZO/
/s of course. But seriously, I have no idea why Stamets, as such a well-known person in the field, sells such a trash product.
With removable bowl I have always used this one, I find it easier when you can remove the bowl for cleaning.

I take medicinal mushrooms, and use these for my stacks. It allows me to buy bulk extract powder and customize dosages and combinations. For this MD protocol, I can combine niacin, Lion's Mane, and finely ground magic mushroom into a pouch, drop it in a glass of water, and gulp it down.
"This is the scale"

Some scales come with a calibration weight - to verify everything is working OK.
This is the one I got. Comes with a 10G calibration weight.

Those are what I ordered and yes I did a dry run with regular distilled water and got exactly 100 sprays two times in a row. There’s no variance in spray volume it seems, every spray is the same since it doesn’t release anything until it’s fully depressed.
I appreciate the info 🙏
Depression and anxiety can indeed happen while micro dosing. It's not an emotional straightjacket like SSRIs. Some people get the best mood lift from cycling, others get it from daily dosing. My recommendation there is to start off by journaling 7 days on and 7 days off which will pretty much tell you what a good cycle looks like for you.
I've only used scales left over from chem labs, but this one is in the range you'll want, is highly rated, includes a separate weigh pan and calibration weight. mg scales are quite a bit more sensitive than cg scales so while a $20 cg scale can be tossed around a bit, an mg scale needs babying and frequent calibration checks. This one tics all the boxes:

You will want to determine your sweet spot dose before making too many. though they can always be adusted.
I've been MDing for about a year mostly in the 50-70mg range. I recently have been exploring the 30-50mg range and just this past weekend tried 20mg. I was amazed there was still such a similar feel, a slight buzz, like small glass of wine but lasting for hours. Like you say, still functional, able to work and carry on conversation easily. And I don't drink or generally do other drugs either, at least I haven't for the past 20 years. So I would say even your dose that was half my last dose could possibly be felt, even if slightly.
That said, the 0.001 level scale, a jewelry scale or something similar, should be considered microdosing basic tools and they don't have to be expensive.
My man. Congrats on ur harvest first of all.
This is what you need. Works very very well. I use it to measure out my doses of dmt. Very cheep too. Id recommend getting that scale and when ur weighing ur doses have a $1 bill on there so ur scale reads 1 exactly or even one of the 2 calibration weights they come with and without tareing the scale start adding ur dose then subtract whatever it was.

Not to an oz but good for microdosing.
>For the first time in years I was able to really have fun with friends and actually enjoyed myself, and I wished that this feeling would last forever.
I think it might be wise to start meditation. A lot of our suffering comes when we attach too strongly to our experiences.
Also I'd suggest reading Happiness Trap, it explains very well how we get miserable chasing good feelings, and also suggests a way out of this race.

They look the same as my 2g packs, honestly that's as small as I like.
But if you want something smaller, these are Half gram color changing packs.

Digital Milligram Scale, 50g... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZKG6TBZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I would do size 2 capsules. I got size 3 and they are a bit difficult to get 100mg of powder into (it is possible though).
I already had an old electric coffee grinder I use for herbs and spices that I use to make the powder.
I use size 00 gel caps, a lab spatula like the one below and an AWS100 scale to make mine. It goes pretty quick once you make a few and get a feel for how much to scoop up on the spatula.
Don't know if you are asking too much of the mushroom but it is worth a try. But it is best to grind some of them into a powder with coffee or spice grinder). You will need a milligram scale to weigh the dose that you can put in food, tea, or capsule. Best to start low, around 50mg. Try that & any changes of dose on days of little responsibility. Work toward a dose that is barely felt & that you can pretty much ignore. Skip a day or 2 between doses but you can be flexible with it.
I was also frustrated with the results from my ‘any old’ coffee grinder. Try this one. Fine, fine powder, but since it has the closed cups it doesn’t make mushroom dust everywhere when you open it. I have a thing about using the right tool for the job, and have been very pleased with this particular tool.

This is the scale I use. It's cheap and works well. Seems to measure pretty accurately within 0.015g unless you tare every time. It's not a super high end scale but it's definitely good enough for dosing just about anything to the mg.
Definitely don't use a kitchen scale. They are usually only accurate to the oz.
Definitely get a better scale. I have this and it’s very good for the price. I trust it to be +/-10% down to 20mg, maybe lower.
