>>522223I don't have much experience, but my Nigel is a fan of micorodosing shrooms for his anxiety. I've microdosed a few times before and I would say I have positive experiences with it, though I didn't really
need medication in the first place. This is based on 0 studies and 90% on just winging it, so read up on actual scientific literature if you want to know that kind of stuff. Overall my experience is positive with Md'ing, but it's not permanent therapy. It's useful for getting insights on your life and being open-minded enough to welcome different changes into it.

First of all, it's not something you can take on a constant basis. You will eventually have to either take a tolerance break or up your dosage, since your tolerance increases. I don't remember exactly what the schedule is, but you either take a dose 1x every 3 days (take a dose mon and take a break tues-wed), or 5x every seven days (take a dose mon-fri, weekends off + nootropics), until you reach a months or six weeks, then you stop taking them to let the effects sort of stabilize. Just look up Paul Stamets protocol and James Fadiman protocol (which uses acid, not shrooms). Make sure to pay attention to how you're feeling, even on off days. My bf took 1x per 3 days and it worked out for him, he even started a hobby that he now enjoys a lot. But as i have said, it's not a permanent thing, though you can take several courses per year. I would take a break for about a month before i'd start taking them again.
As for the dosage, you might want to buy a jewellery scale (one is sensitive enough to measure 0.01 grams at least) to measure your dose, to know that you're taking the same amount every day. I would start with 0.2 grams, personally. But that still doesn't guarantee an exact dose of psilocybin, since it can e dispersed differently throughout the mushroom. Point is, you don't want to take too much, otherwise it's not even microdosing anymore. Though, again, I eyeballed my dose and i would take either 5-7 mm of a dried stem or half of a dried cap. The worst that happened was I got too nervous at work and had to take a 10 min break, because i overestimated.
Second, if you can drive to Colorado, it should be piss easy to source shrooms themselves. Spores are legal there, but i would
not recommend growing them, it's pretty tricky and you don't want to get sick from
