    “should have” is always a strong phrase with drugs, people react to drugs in different ways and placebo can be powerful too. People I know have taken 0.4g to feel practically nothing (perhaps even slight drowsiness) while others took 0.2 per person with friends and reported a WILD experience. I personally have my doubts but who am I to tell them what they experienced? They’re definitely outliers though.

    All that to say 0.1g (or 100mg) is definitely a microdose, at least with your typical dried magic mushrooms. Can’t comment on their experience!

      Eh, probably has to a bit with the mushroom itself - how it was grown, handled, dried, age, and stored - as much as it does with the individual consuming it.

        Sort of? Most cubensis strains are relatively similar in their potency (which is where the 1-2g comes from), if dried or consumed incorrectly it’d tend towards being less effective, not more. For example, heat can start to destroy the psilocybin in the mushrooms so drying them in the oven will just destroy the effectiveness.

        There are some types of shrooms that are, for example, 2-4x more potent than your typical cubensis but unless you’re foraging without knowledge (really wouldn’t recommend that), you have to know what they are to find them if that makes sense. But I was mainly trying to correct the comment above mine because 0.1g is not 6x more powerful than a normal dose of any mushrooms that I know of.

        But hey, if there are, let me know! ;)
