Dosage Guide

Understand what you're working with. Every body is different — this guide provides a framework, not a prescription. Start low, go slow.

Before You Begin

Psilocybin affects everyone differently. Body weight, metabolism, recent food intake, mental state, environment, and individual sensitivity all play a role. These ranges are based on dried Psilocybe cubensis fruit bodies.

If you are new to psilocybin, always start at the lowest suggested dose for any given tier and wait at least 90 minutes before considering more. You cannot un-eat a mushroom.

Edible products (chocolates, gummies, honey butter) have pre-measured doses — see the edibles section below for specific guidance.

Dosage Tiers

Dried fruit body weight — standard cubensis genetics

Microdose
Sub-perceptual wellness
0.1g – 0.3g
Below the threshold of conscious perception. No visuals, no altered state. Enhanced focus, mood lift, creative flow, reduced anxiety. Many people microdose on a schedule (e.g., 1 day on, 2 days off) for sustained benefit.
Onset
30 – 60 minutes (subtle)
Duration
4 – 6 hours
Experience
You shouldn't "feel high" — if you do, lower the dose
Best For
Focus, creativity, mood support, daily function
Intensity
Threshold
Gentle awareness shift
0.3g – 1.0g
The first perceptible effects. Mild mood enhancement, heightened sensory awareness, colors may seem more vivid. Slight body sensation — warmth, tingling, gentle euphoria. Still functional. Good for social settings, nature walks, creative work.
Onset
30 – 45 minutes
Duration
3 – 5 hours
Experience
Present, aware, slightly elevated — like the world got brighter
Best For
First-timers, social gatherings, creative exploration
Intensity
Moderate
The classic experience
1.0g – 2.5g
A full psychedelic experience begins here. Visual distortions — patterns breathing, color enhancement, closed-eye visuals. Emotional amplification, introspection, time distortion. Laughter, tears, wonder. This is where most people find their working dose.
Onset
20 – 40 minutes
Peak
1.5 – 2.5 hours
Duration
4 – 6 hours
Experience
Unmistakably psychedelic — set and setting matter here
Best For
Intentional sessions, emotional processing, self-exploration
Intensity
Strong
Deep therapeutic territory
2.5g – 4.0g
Powerful visuals — open and closed eye. Significant ego softening. Deep emotional breakthroughs, confrontation with shadow material, profound gratitude, or fear. This is medicine work. A sitter or guide is strongly recommended. Surrender is the practice here.
Onset
15 – 30 minutes
Peak
1.5 – 3 hours
Duration
5 – 7 hours
Experience
Deep, potentially challenging — sitter recommended
Best For
Guided sessions, therapeutic work, experienced practitioners
Intensity
Deep Ceremony
Ego dissolution & mystical experience
4.0g – 7.0g+
Full ego dissolution possible. Reality restructures. Mystical experiences, encounters with the ineffable, total surrender of personal identity. This is sacred territory — not recreational. Proper preparation, set, setting, and aftercare are essential. A trained guide or sitter is required.
Onset
10 – 25 minutes
Peak
2 – 4 hours
Duration
6 – 8+ hours
Experience
Beyond language — guide or sitter is required
Best For
Experienced practitioners, ceremonial context, supervised setting

Edible Dosing

Pre-measured products — no scale needed

Chocolate Bars
5g psilocybin per bar — 15 scored squares
Each square contains approximately 0.33g. Eat 1 square for a microdose, 2–3 for threshold, 5–7 for moderate, or the full bar for a heroic experience. Available in Milk, Dark, and Vegan Dark. Allow 45–60 minutes for full onset — edibles absorb slower than raw fruit.
Gummies
3.5g psilocybin + 1g lion’s mane extract per pack — 16 pieces
16 precisely dosed gummies with 3.5g active psilocybin and 1g lion’s mane extract for neurogenic support. 1–2 pieces for microdose, 3–4 for threshold, 8+ for moderate territory. Available in Strawberry and Pineapple. Onset may be slightly faster than chocolate.
Honey Butter Squeeze
1.5g psilocybin + 1g lion’s mane extract per squeeze pack
Squeeze pack format — eat straight, spread on toast, or stir into tea. 1.5g active psilocybin with lion’s mane for neurogenic support. The full pack is a solid moderate dose. Honey butter masks taste effectively with smooth, gentle onset.
Ancient Cacao Squeeze
1.5g psilocybin + 1g lion’s mane extract per squeeze pack
Ceremonial-grade cacao in squeeze pack format with lion’s mane extract. Cacao contains theobromine and MAO inhibitors that may potentiate the experience. 1.5g active — effects may feel stronger than the dose suggests. Dose conservatively.

Penis Envy & High-Potency Strain Notice

Strains in the PE family and certain albino/mutant genetics are significantly more potent than standard cubensis — often 1.5x to 3x stronger by weight.

Reduce your dose by 30–50% compared to the tiers above when working with PE-lineage strains. A 2g dose of Omni or Yeti is not the same as 2g of Golden PE or Slim Shady.

The following strains in our catalog carry PE-level or higher potency:

Yeti Pearly Gates Rango Blue Ghost Albino Gumby Gate Albino Bumpkin Omni Dino Eggs GPE Mini Mutant Mak Galactic Blue Storm Giant PE GPE Squat Hawk Tuah

Safety & Preparation

Set & Setting

Your mindset and environment shape the experience more than dose. Choose a safe, comfortable space. Be with people you trust. Set an intention.

Contraindications

Do not combine with SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium, or tramadol. If you take psychiatric medication, consult a knowledgeable practitioner first.

Integration

The experience doesn't end when the effects wear off. Journal, rest, hydrate. Give yourself time to process. The real medicine is in the integration.

Empty Stomach

Psilocybin absorbs best on an empty or light stomach. Eating a heavy meal beforehand can delay onset and reduce intensity. Fast 2–3 hours prior.

Hydration

Drink water before, during, and after. Psilocybin can be dehydrating. Having water, tea, or electrolytes on hand makes the experience smoother.

Tolerance

Psilocybin builds rapid tolerance. Wait at least 7–14 days between full doses for full effect. Microdosing schedules should include off days.
