Why Microdose?

Microdosing is the phenomenon of taking small, controlled doses of psychedelic substances and the idea is that the quantity is too small to produce noticeable effects of being high but big enough to change thought patterns and behaviours, function better, happier and more productive.

One Canadian study recruited people from online forums to ask about microdosing habits and mental health and research found that nearly 25% of users reported a sharpened focus and heightened energy and 13% said microdosing alleviated their existing anxiety and stress. Further, more than 20% reported that their mood and outlook on life improved.

Psilocybin mushrooms have been used ceremonially for thousands of years and recently has become the next best thing in holistic healing and wellness. Some of the known benefits that stand out are;

  1. stimulate the growth of new brain cells
  2. helps deal with social rejection
  3. alleviate OCD symptoms, anxiety, PTSD and depression
  4. connecting the brain in new ways and promoting neurogenesis

Further studies have shown evidence that psilocybin significantly reduces anxiety in patients with life-threatening illnesses like cancer.
