Frequently Asked Questions

Start with a microdose. Beginning with 0.1-0.2g (100-200mg) is a very conservative approach to gauge sensitivity. MicroDose+ capsules are perfect for this – precisely measured and include Lion’s Mane for cognitive support.

Starting subperceptual helps break the ice and build confidence. Since the thought of taking psychedelics can induce anxiety, knowing you likely won’t feel anything obvious is reassuring.

A less conservative but reasonable approach is starting with a very low dose (0.2-0.5g), where you might notice subtle effects but remain fully functional. MellowDose or Mexicana 500mg capsules both provide a perceptible effect – less conservative than MicroDose+ but still a rather prudent approach.

Take it on a day when you’re comfortable at home with no major responsibilities, and can observe how you feel over 4-6 hours. Everyone’s tolerance differs, so starting low allows gradual, safe progression.

Mexicana: Gentle and introspective, great for beginners or those seeking a contemplative experience. Good for microdosing and therapeutic use.

Cubensis: The classic experience – reliable, well-studied, balanced effects. Good all-around choice for both microdosing and recreational use.

Natalensis: More potent with strong visual components. Better for experienced users seeking deeper experiences.

If you’re new, start with Mexicana or Cubensis. You can always explore other strains once you understand your baseline response.

Note: This scale is based on P. cubensis and represents conservative estimates – better safe than sorry. Mexicana tends to be gentler, while Natalensis is stronger.

Microdosing (0-0.2g): Truly sub-perceptual effects. You shouldn’t “feel” anything obvious – instead, you might notice enhanced mood, creativity, and focus throughout the day without any noticeable psychedelic effects. Perfect for daily functioning and therapeutic benefits.

Very Low Dose (0.2-0.5g): Still mostly sub-perceptual but you may begin to notice subtle shifts in perception, slight mood elevation, or enhanced appreciation for music and colors. Generally functional.

Low-Moderate Dose (0.5-1g): This is the threshold area for many people where the “trip” experience begins. Mild but noticeable psychedelic effects including visual changes, mood elevation, and altered thinking patterns. You’ll definitely know you’ve taken something.

High Dose (1-2g): Clear psychedelic experience with visual patterns, significant altered thinking, and emotional insights. Set aside 4-6 hours in a safe, comfortable environment.

2g and above: Hero’s journey territory – expect to travel far from familiar shores of consciousness. Effects become progressively more intense depending on how much you’re taking. Proper preparation and integration are more relevant than ever.

Remember: Everyone’s tolerance is different. Start at the lowest end of any range and work your way up gradually over separate sessions.

Microdoses: 4-6 hours of subtle effects, often described as enhanced clarity or mood.

Low to moderate doses: 4-6 hours total, with peak effects around 2-3 hours after consumption.

Chocolate vs. capsules: Both have similar timelines, though chocolate may be absorbed slightly faster due to some absorption through the mouth.

Always plan for at least 6 hours with no driving or important responsibilities.

Some people have naturally higher tolerance or slower metabolism. Usually after 1-2 hours, you should know what the effects will be.

Rapidly building tolerance: Psilocybin tolerance develops quickly – taking more the same day or within 3-5 days may require significantly higher doses to achieve similar effects.

Start smaller, go slower: It’s better to have a mild experience than an overwhelming one. You can always take more, not the other way around.

Full stomach: Food significantly delays and reduces absorption. For consistent effects, take on an empty stomach or with light food only.

If you’re sensitive to nausea, having a small snack beforehand can help, but expect delayed and potentially reduced effects.

Important: This isn’t medical advice.

Medications: SSRIs and other antidepressants can greatly diminish or block psilocybin effects entirely. MAOIs and lithium require special caution due to potential serious interactions. Other medications may also interfere with absorption or metabolism.

Research first: Healthcare practitioners will generally advise against use out of precaution, but they may still have valid safety information. Each user has a heavy responsibility of researching thoroughly before combining with any medications.

Set and setting are crucial: Your mindset (set) and environment (setting) heavily influence the experience. Choose a comfortable, safe space with trusted people if needed. Avoid difficult days, stressful situations, or unfamiliar environments.

Set (mindset): Your current emotional state, expectations, and mental preparation going into the experience.

Setting (environment): Your physical location, the people around you, lighting, music, and overall atmosphere.

Poor set and setting can turn even low doses into uncomfortable experiences, while good preparation enhances positive outcomes.

Keep them cool, dark, and dry. While room temperature is fine, storing in the refrigerator is beneficial as long as products are kept in an airtight container. Avoid heat, direct sunlight, and moisture.

Capsules: Keep in their original container or transfer to an airtight container. Avoid bathroom medicine cabinets (too humid). Avoid the freezer as it may damage the capsule shells.

Properly stored: 1-2 years with minimal potency loss. Professional dehydration and vacuum-sealing help maintain potency much longer than typical products.

Signs of degradation: Loss of color (turning more blue/black), unusual smells, or visible mold. Properly preserved products should look and smell the same as when you received them.

Completely discrete. Plain packaging with no external indication of contents.

No product names or company branding visible on the outside packaging.

Professional presentation inside: While the outside is plain, your products inside are beautifully packaged because you deserve quality presentation.

Processing time: Up to 3 business days to ship your order. I prefer growing and crafting than making trips at the post office.

Canada Post delivery: Generally 2 to 5, but up to 7 business days within Canada, depending on your location.

Tracking provided: You’ll receive tracking information once your order ships.

Common concerns: SSRIs and other antidepressants can significantly reduce or block psilocybin effects. MAOIs and lithium require special caution due to potential serious interactions.

Research thoroughly: Each user has a heavy responsibility of researching before combining with any medications.

When in doubt, don’t risk it. If you’re stubborn and still want to try, please go low and slow first.

Begin with 0.1-0.2g and wait at least 2 hours before considering whether you need more (but don’t redose the same day).

Wait 3-5 days between sessions to avoid tolerance buildup and give yourself time to integrate the experience.

Have a plan: Know who to call if you need support, have activities ready, and clear your schedule.

Listen to your body and mind. If something feels off, trust that instinct. You can always try again another day with different preparation.

Preparation and intention are just as important as the substance itself.

Contact directly with details about the issue. Understanding what went wrong helps make it right.

Subjective experiences: Everyone responds differently to different strains and doses. Happy to suggest alternatives based on your feedback.

Your satisfaction matters – this is a personal business, not a faceless operation.

Canada Post issues: If tracking shows the package as lost or undelivered, we’ll work together to resolve it.

Replacement policy: For confirmed lost packages, a replacement will be sent at no charge.

Stay in touch: If you haven’t received your order within the expected timeframe, reach out. Don’t wait weeks hoping it’ll show up.
