Microdosing magic mushrooms — taking sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin on a structured schedule — has gone from underground biohacker practice to a wellness staple for thousands of Canadians. Here is the complete beginner's guide to microdosing safely with Shroomyz capsules.
What is a microdose?
A microdose is a quantity of dried magic mushroom small enough that you feel no overt psychedelic effects — but consistent enough that subtle improvements in mood, focus, creativity and emotional openness compound over weeks. The typical range is 0.1g to 0.3g dried (compared to a recreational dose of 2g+).
Shroomyz microdose capsules — three precise strengths
Shroomyz capsules are filled with finely ground dried Psilocybe cubensis at three calibrated strengths:
- 100mg — the gentle starting dose, ideal for first-time microdosers and small body sizes
- 200mg — the most-ordered SKU; the sweet spot for focus, creativity and mood
- 300mg — for experienced microdosers and larger body sizes
The advantage of capsules over weighing your own dried mushroom is consistency: every capsule contains the same mass of the same lot of mushroom, so your dose is reproducible week-over-week.
The three popular protocols
The Fadiman protocol (1-on, 2-off): Day 1 dose, days 2 and 3 off, repeat. Best for most beginners.
The Stamets stack (4-on, 3-off): Dose Monday through Thursday, off Friday through Sunday. Often paired with Lion's Mane mushroom powder.
The Microdose Institute (1-on, 1-off): Alternate dose days and rest days. More frequent than Fadiman; tolerance can build faster.
All three include a 2–4 week reset every few months to prevent tolerance build-up.
What to expect on dose days
A proper microdose should not produce visuals, body load, or noticeable altered consciousness. What you should notice over the first 1–3 weeks:
- Slightly elevated baseline mood
- Easier flow states during focused work
- More creative connections during brainstorming
- Subtle emotional openness in conversations
- Reduced rumination on negative thoughts
If you feel overt psychedelic effects, your dose is too high — reduce by 50% next cycle.
Safety considerations for Canadian microdosers
- SSRIs and SNRIs: Combining microdoses with serotonergic antidepressants is generally not recommended. Discuss with a qualified prescriber.
- Lithium: Strict no-go combination.
- MAOIs: Strict no-go combination.
- Pregnancy or nursing: Avoid.
- History of psychosis: Avoid; psilocybin can trigger latent psychotic episodes.
