All you need to know to get started

1. Micro-dosing is taking a sub perceptual amount of magic mushrooms introduced to your daily routine for higher levels of creativity, more energy, increased focus, and improved relational skills. It’s not enough to trip or have any type of visuals, but it’s enough to have amazing brain benefits. When consumed, psilocybin starts to mimic serotonin and stimulates a receptor called the 5HT2A receptor. This does two amazing things:
   It stimulates BDNF, aka brain derived neurotrophic factor, which is basically miracle growth for the brain. It’s responsible for new growth, connections, and activity.
2. It increases transmission of glutamate. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter responsible for learning, memory, and cognition.
   So how does it feel? It’s pretty rare, but some people say they feel nothing at all. At first, the most common effects are elevated mood and positive emotions such as appreciation, gratitude, love, and happiness. Some people say it’s just harder to get irritated, depressed, and anxious.
