What is microdosing anyway?
Microdosing means taking a very small, sub-perceptible amount of a psychedelic substance, usually psilocybin truffles. This means a dose so low that you don't experience a "trip" but can notice subtle benefits in your daily life.
For example, many users report:
- Better concentration and focus
- Think more creatively
- Improved mood
- Less stress or worry
Please note: microdosing is not a miracle cure and works differently for everyone. It is intended as a support, not a replacement for therapy or medication.
Why microdosing is popular in Maastricht
Maastricht is a vibrant student city, and many students, creatives, and young professionals are curious about microdosing, especially because it can naturally contribute to focus and balance, without the intensity of a full-blown psychedelic experience.
In addition, a physical smartshop like Focus Maastricht offers the assurance that you're buying fresh, legal truffles that have been tested for safety. Buying online can be unreliable – local advice in the store makes all the difference.
How do you start microdosing truffles?
Choose the right truffles
At Focus Maastricht, you'll find special microdosing packages. These have a handy divider, making it easy to measure out the right portion.
Start with a low dose
A typical microdose is about 1/10 to 1/20 of a normal serving of truffles . Taking too much can lead to mild psychedelic effects, which is not the goal.
Follow a schedule
Many beginners use the well-known Fadiman scheme :
-
Day 1: Microdosing
Day 2: Fasting (no intake)
Day 3: Fasting
Day 4: Microdosing Again
This is how you build up a rhythm without tolerance.
Observe and record
Keep a journal of your experiences. Write down how you feel, whether you can concentrate better, and whether your mood changes. This will help you determine whether microdosing works for you.
Combine consciously
Microdosing works best in combination with a healthy lifestyle: sufficient sleep, exercise and good nutrition.
Microdoser experiences
Many users in Maastricht report feeling more productive and creative . Students, for example, report being able to study longer without distractions. Creative individuals like musicians and designers report increased inspiration.
Of course, experiences are personal . For some, microdosing has a very subtle effect, for others, noticeably stronger.
Safety & tips
- Do not combine with alcohol or other drugs.
- Do not use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or sensitive to psychological complaints.
- Always start with a low dose and listen to your body.
- Buy only from reliable sources – such as a recognised smartshop.
