How to Microdose Mexicana Mushrooms

Microdosing is about consuming 10-20% of a full recreational dose of magic mushrooms on a regular basis and experiencing positive effects without falling into stunning high. Normally, microdosing can be divided into 2 groups:   Optimal microdose: 50-100 mg, taken 1-2 times daily for 2-4 days; Moderate dose: 100-200 mg, taken 1-2 times daily for 2-5 days   If you’ll stay within these boundaries and won’t exceed 250 mg you’ll take only the best from Mexicana. Capsules make your life easier since you don’t need to manually weigh shrooms (and firstly growing, drying, grounding…). Just swallow a pill and enjoy!

How to Take Mexicana Magic Mushrooms Microdose

Mexicana microdose capsules look like normal capsules and are administered accordingly. Eat a capsule and wash it down with a glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach for better absorption.    IMPORTANT: Do not mix microdose capsules with any amounts of alcohol and other drugs. Especially anti-depression medications (SSRI). It can completely ruin your experience or even cause harmful side effects.   We also recommend avoiding heating capsules, since it breaks down psilocybin and deprives you of the desired effects. You should also try not to chew it. According to some users’ reports the taste of dried mushrooms isn’t very delightful.    There are several schedules for taking microdose capsules known as protocols. Here is the top 3:

The Fadiman Protocol

This protocol was developed by psychologist and father of “microdosing” as a concept James Fadiman. It involves taking a microdose of psilocybin every third day.

• The dose is typically around 0,2-0,5 grams of dried mushrooms (1 capsule);
• Take it in the mornings with breakfasts;
• Repeat for 4 – 8 weeks, then take a break for 2-4 weeks.

It is also advisable to keep a journal to track your experiences.

The Stamets Stack

A famous mycologist Paul Stamets developed a protocol that involves taking a combination of psilocybin, lion’s mane mushroom (non-psychoactive), and niacin (vitamin B3). The idea is that the lion’s mane and niacin help to enhance the cognitive and neurological effects of psilocybin.

• Take 1 microdose capsule along with Lion’s Mane (50 – 200 mg) and Niacin (100 – 200 mg) for 4 days;
• 3 days off psilocybin, only Lion’s Mane or completely no substances;
• Repeat the cycle maximum for a month.

It is advisable to take microdose capsules and Lion’s Mane in the morning on an empty stomach before breakfast. Wait for 15-20 min and take niacin. This way you’ll get the best results.

Nightcap Protocol

Unlike previous protocols, Nightcap takes advantage of psilocybin’s ability to make people sleepy and relaxed.

• 1 microdose capsule before sleep every second day;
• The second option looks like modified Fadiman protocol – 1 pill, 2 days off;
• Repeat the cycle for 4-8 weeks.

It is advisable to take a break for 2 to 4 weeks between protocols to avoid developing tolerance to micro doses of shrooms.
