How to Microdose Magic Mushrooms.
Do you want to know more about magic mushroom microdosing? The general instructions for microdosing with magic mushrooms and the possible advantages are provided below. The regular practice of ingesting small or “sub-perceptual” quantities of psychedelic drugs, such as mescaline, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, or other entheogens, is known as microdosing. A microdose is often defined as 1/10 to 1/20 of a moderate “tripping dose.” Since its widespread research has shown advantages, microdosing has expanded to include a larger range of people, including athletes, artists, and health and wellness aficionados. Previously, microdosing was just the go-to “smart drug” for biohackers in Silicon Valley.
What is Psilocybin?
More than 200 kinds of mushrooms contain the hallucinogenic chemical psilocybin, which is commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, psilocybin mushrooms, or simply “shrooms.” The body transforms psilocybin into psilocin, which when taken in large quantities causes mind-expanding hallucinations. Many tribes and faiths have been using these mushrooms for medical, spiritual, and religious purposes for thousands of years. The hallucinogenic mushrooms Psilocybe cubensis, Psilocybe semilanceata, Psilocybe cyanescens, Panaeolus or Copelandia cyanescens, and Psilocybe azurescens are some of the most well-known species that may be found in the wild.

1. The Fadiman Protocol
The Fadiman Protocol (also known as the Beginners Protocol) is the most well-known microdosing protocol. It’s named after Dr. James Fadiman, who created this protocol to observe the effects of microdosing by clearly distinguishing between microdosing days and non-microdosing days. Dr. James Fadiman’s protocol is an excellent basis for a first microdosing experiment. It assumes a 3-day cycle, which you follow for four to eight weeks. How to Microdose Magic Mushrooms.
- DAY 1: 1st microdosing day
- DAY 2: transition day
- DAY 3: normal day
- DAY 4: 2nd microdosing day
- CYCLE: Continue this cycle for four to eight weeks
- RESET: Two to four weeks rest
2. Paul Stamet’s Protocol (Stamet’s Stack)
Paul Stamets, a world-renowned mycologist, author, and advocate for medicinal mushrooms, developed and tested a new microdosing formula; the combination of psilocybin, niacin (vitamin B3), coupled with the medicinal mushroom Lion’s Mane. This microdose stack method has a positive and lasting effect on the brain. Our Clarity Microdose Capsules are a variation to his popular stack, albeit niacin (vitamin B3), as the vitamin causes an uncomftorable “flushing” effect (redness of the skin, which may be accompanied by an itching or burning sensation).
- DAY 1-4: stacking days
- DAY 5-7: transition days
- DAY 8-11: stacking days
- DAY 12-14: transition days
- CYCLE: Continue this cycle for four weeks
- RESET: Two to four weeks rest
3. Utopia Protocol (5 Days a Week)
A few members of our collective adhere to this protocol as it’s incredibly easy to remember and stay consistent with, as it follows a simple 5 days on 2 days off schedule (Monday to Friday—or any 5 days you should choose). Follow for four to eight weeks, depending on your own somatic intuition. Haus Of Utopia Chocolate.

5. Two-Days-a-Week Protocol
Important to note, unless you’re keeping a meticulous journal, this “two-days-a-week” protocol can be a little tricky to remember, and you might prefer a fixed scheme that matches with a weekly work or social routine. We advise choosing two fixed days in a week that fit your schedule best. Equally important, always keep at least one day between each microdosing days.
- DAY 1: 1st microdosing day on fixed day (e.g., Monday)
- DAY 2: transition day
- DAY 3: normal day
- DAY 4: 2nd microdosing day on a fixed day (e.g., Thursday)
- CYCLE: Continue this cycle for four to eight weeks
