Microdosing is a practice of taking small doses of psilocybin mushrooms, a natural psychedelic, to improve one’s well-being and cognition. Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for healing and spirituality for centuries, and may have benefits for mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. However, more research is needed to confirm the effects and safety of microdosing. Paul Stamets, a famous mycologist, has created a microdosing protocol that combines psilocybin mushrooms with Lion’s Mane mushroom and niacin, which may enhance brain health and function. Microdosing psilocybin mushrooms may not be for everyone, and it involves legal and ethical risks. Therefore, anyone who is interested in microdosing should do their own research and proceed with caution.
