Posted by Microdosing, both as a term and a practice, is about as straightforward of a ritual as one can find in the recreational drug world. It doesn’t take much imagination to be able to intuit the goal of the thing, and the ultimate goal of microdosing is equally simple: Have a good time.
Of course, “having a good time” can mean many different things for many different people. And so, it becomes apparent that new users of mushroom products intended for microdosing should be fully aware of what they can expect to feel when consuming their product.
First and foremost; all users should understand that there is no such thing as a miracle drug. Microdosing is not a proven method to solve addiction problems, nor is it guaranteed (or even likely) to give its user an experience that in any drastic way changes their life’s trajectory. If a user seeks out microdosing for these purposes, they would be far better off, and safer, pursuing proven, professional methods of their required treatment.
In reality, microdosing is a very grounded practice with very grounded effects. So, then, what are these effects?
Improved Focus
One of the biggest reasons people seek out microdosing is the improved sense of focus. With half a tablet of Real Botanicals’ Mindless Microdose Mushroom Tablets, for example, users can expect to feel their sense of half-attention and inability to focus on a specific person, task, or meditation practice wash away.
For the vast majority of people, this simply means that microdosing can help make a social event a little more engaging or, alternatively, make getting at-home tasks done less of an auto-pilot undertaking. For people who work from home or in office areas that stimulate the mind more than the body, microdosing can prove to be a very useful tool, indeed.
Improved Creativity
While focus and creativity aren’t the same thing, they both walk hand-in-hand. If you’re someone who can benefit from the wealth of focus that microdosing mushrooms can offer you, then you’re almost certainly someone who can stand to gain from an heightened sense of creativity.
Much akin to the statements echoed above, users who work from home, in office spaces, or generally do work that requires creating work flows instead of following them will benefit from microdosing heavily within a professional environment. The feeling users often gain from microdosing can be described as an opening up of the mind. Indeed, a lot of the cliches and over-usage around that concept come from mushroom ingestion for a reason.
Where creativity is required, microdosing can be of aid.
Heightened Sociability
We touched on this briefly, but microdosing can have the advantage of giving it’s users the ability to engage with their friends and guests in a more thoughtful way. It is key to note that the engagement is often of a more interested nature, as well. Microdosing has the ability to make people feel just slightly more empathetic and, therefor, much more keen on connecting with other people.
Whether you’re making friends or spending time with ones you already have, microdosing is a widely used tool for making the task a fair bit easier and more enjoyable.
Improved Mood
This benefit isn’t just a standalone product of the drug, but a culmination of all of its other benefits combined. Of course, few things can be studied in a vacuum when it comes to microdosing.
If you’re focused on the things that matter, you’re likely to get more important things done. If you’re getting things done with a higher sense of creativity, the quality of your work is likely going to be higher. If the quality of your work is higher, you’ll have a greater sense of self-respect after the fact, and all of these things coalesce into someone’s mood, simply, being in a better state than it otherwise would be.
And to be sure, by itself, microdosing can absolutely improve someone’s mood without all of the other benefits. That is a commonly sought after effect. But everything together functions in a much stronger way than all things by themselves, and new users should be aware of the fact that you’re very likely to experience all of these things when microdosing.
