How much would you say you micro dose mescaline? That's something I may be interested in. I can't find any full proof studies that show microdosing even works, as I've always believed you need a dose that provides you with noticeable effects. If they are noticeable, I can see it making it difficult to drive a car or complete work tasks, and if they aren't noticeable, it just seems like placebo to me that it's even helping.
Exactly widderic, I also prefer to feel the dose, so a mesodose is more preferable for me with regards to psylocibin. Now the meso dose is just under a normal dose and above a micro dose, given there are different strains and body weights and sensitivities to the entheogen, one needs to find the sweet spot for oneself. Thus a microscale becomes invaluable because this will take you a bit of trial and error. For myself personally my mesodose is between 0.5g min to .08 grams. You can play around the numbers and there are no hard and fast rules and everyone is different. Also there is no hard line where one dose ends and the other begins, all of this depends on you and your needs and requirements. However once you go over your own personal mesodose, it starts becoming difficult to handle when its a normal workday. Now a meso dose will give you some fractals and so you will notice it but it is not an all-encompassing normal dose where one cannot drive or a heroic dose where one cannot mostly move even. Still I prefer to take it and wait an hour so that I feel the come up and can handle it at home instead of on route to work. Once it settles in, it is there and provides a wonderful glow and backdrop to your day. Now different workspaces are different but nobody has ever noticed when I have had my mesodose, and I radiate much more peace, warmth patience around me.
With mescaline I am able to microdose and still feel the effects. So a microdose of mescaline liquid for me, again it varies from preparation to strain, can be anything from 1 tablespoon to two shot glasses, depends how strong you make it. Again you have to find the sweet spot for yourself. There are no CEVs or fractals but I can definitely feel it and it provides some energy to the day. I prefer micro dosing cactus and it does impart a specialness to the day almost always. But most of it is getting to know the plant and a dieta will also help you achieve this and enhance ones experience. That is by eating bland food, no alcohol and to micro dose on the cactus for a week or two daily or on every second day. Afterwards you will find the microdoses working for you even better as you have tuined yourself to the plant medicine. You can do a dieta with any plant teacher.
While on the subject of plants, see if you can get Valerian root. You can find it at most health shops and it helps one de-stress and unwind, take it an hour before bed and it will give you good sleep, the great restorer, which will help with stress too. If you can find Ashwagandha it is also a great nootropic and adaptogen which will regulate your mood and help you focus and concentrate for longer periods too. Also never underestimate walking barefoot on the earth, give your stress to mother earth, she is there to support you. And if you have a dog go and hug her or him and play with them. If you have a cat let it purr next to you or even better on your chest. They are great stress relievers these magical animals and plants. Take care my friend, and let me know how your journey with mesodosing unfolds.
