Dosage Guidelines

A Sacred Approach to Psilocybin Consumption

At The Mystic Myco, we honor the ancient wisdom of the mushroom and believe in approaching it with care, intention, and respect. Below are general guidelines for dosing Psilocybe cubensis, one of the most common species used in both recreational and spiritual practices.

We encourage every journeyer to move at their own pace and to prioritize safety, inner readiness, and integration.

🍄 Microdose (0.1g – 0.5g)

Subtle yet powerful.
A microdose won’t cause hallucinations, but it may gently enhance creativity, mood, mental clarity, and emotional presence. Commonly taken on a schedule (e.g., 1 day on, 2 days off), microdosing is used to support daily well-being, insight, and nervous system regulation.

🍄 Low Dose (0.5g – 1.5g)

Gateway to inner reflection.
Expect light visual enhancements, uplifted mood, body awareness, and a softening of mental chatter. This is often ideal for beginners exploring psilocybin with intention in a supportive environment.

🍄 Moderate Dose (1.5g – 3g)

Depth and discovery.
At this level, the experience becomes distinctly psychedelic — with stronger visuals, altered perception of time, and deep introspection. This dose is best for those with some prior experience and a prepared mindset.

🍄 High Dose (3g – 5g)

The edge of transformation.
Intense visuals, ego dissolution, emotional purging, and spiritual breakthroughs may occur. This dose demands reverence and is only recommended in a safe space with trusted support or facilitation.

🍄 Heroic Dose (5g+)

A full surrender.
Coined by Terence McKenna, a heroic dose is not recreational. It can lead to ego death, cosmic insight, or overwhelming visions. Should only be undertaken by experienced psychonauts with ample preparation and post-journey integration.

✨ Important Considerations

Individual Sensitivity
Every body is unique. Start low, go slow, and always listen to how your body and spirit respond.

Set & Setting
Your mindset and environment shape the experience. Choose a supportive space, and set a clear intention.

Strain Used
Not all mushrooms are created equal. Different Psilocybe cubensis strains (such as Golden Teacher, Penis Envy, or Hillbilly) can vary significantly in potency and energetic effect. Always research the strain you’re working with and begin with a lower dose if you’re unsure.

Body Weight & Chemistry
How your body metabolizes psilocybin varies based on health, weight, and other factors. Titrate your dose accordingly.

Medical Interactions
If you’re taking medications or have medical conditions, consult a qualified professional before use.

🌱 Final Thought

Psilocybin is not just a compound — it is a teacher. Whether you’re microdosing or walking the hero’s path, the mushroom responds to the intention and openness you bring. Respect it, and it will meet you with wisdom.
