Dosing magic truffles correctly

You want to microdose truffles and don't know how much you should take?

Then perhaps this brief overview will help you. If you want to take larger quantities, it's best to read the whole article

Standard microdose: 1g fresh truffles / 0.3g dry truffles
Recommended intake: Swallow whole, without chewing, in the morning after breakfast
Why? The active ingredients are distributed gently and evenly throughout the day, so there is no risk of a „kick“ from too much active ingredient at once.

Truffle microdose: 0.5 to 2g fresh / 0.2 to 1g dry

You are sober when microdosing!

As everyone has different sensitivities, this means that the perfect dose is different for everyone. Ultimately, you can only find out by trying it out.

ATTENTIONThe quantities given here are standard dosages. They do not apply to everyone and are only a guide!

The microdose should not affect behavior or perception in daily life. Ideally, you should feel better as usual, just subliminally and barely perceptibly.

Significant improvement in mood is most likely no longer microdosing! This is also okay and not dangerous for the body (truffles do not harm the body). However, you must then be aware that the altered state also means an altered Response time can mean.

This is called a „museum dose“ - the feeling that everything is a little prettier, more interesting and more detailed than usual. However, you shouldn't drive a car in this condition!

By the way, dry truffles are great for microdosing, but no longer really useful for high doses. They are too hard to be digested reasonably quickly.

YOUR dose is not a number, but a state

The „correct dosage“ also varies with larger quantities. The decisive factors are psychological sensitivity and the physical resilience depends.

Resistance describes how much of the active substance is destroyed in the intestine before it can even reach the brain. For example, if you naturally have a lot of MAO (monoamine oxidase) in your body, most of the substance will be oxidized before it can take effect.
You will then feel much less than a person with low MAO levels.

There is no easy way to measure resistance, you simply have to test it. SSRI antidepressants, for example, increase physical resistance for up to 3 months after stopping the medication!

Psychological or emotional sensitivity determines how aware you are of the changes in your own condition.

Some people think that 10g truffles are „completely normal“, whereas they behave very differently to outsiders.
These people often only realize what has changed in the days and weeks following the experience.

Practice makes perfect here. The more experience you gain with magic truffles, the easier it is to recognize increasingly subtle differences in your own condition.

Here is a tip:

Your body tells you whether you are actually „tripping“ but are suppressing it or for some reason cannot perceive it.

You can easily check this by lying down with your eyes closed and trying to think for 3-5 minutes. completely to lie still.
Anyone who can do this without being overcome by emotions or colorful visuals appearing behind their eyelids is probably really quite sober.

How many magic truffles do you need for one trip?

Museum dose: 2 - 4g (fresh)

A mini-dose has very mild perceptual effects, such as stronger colors and sensitive skin. This is a dose that already affects your reaction time, so make sure you take it in a nice and safe environment!

Small dose of magic truffles: 4 - 6g

A small dose is usually the threshold where you start to lose your coordination. Only ever take it in the company of friends and don't mix it with other psychoactive substances!

Medium dose of Magic Truffles: 6 - 12g

At a medium dose, you can already experience all the effects of a full-fledged psychedelic trip, including time distortion and complete disorientation. The main difference to a really high dose is the duration of the trip. At medium doses, trips are usually over after 3-4 hours, while very strong experiences can last up to 6-8 hours.

Heroic dose of magic truffles: 12 - 30g

A heroic dose is the full psychedelic experience. This can mean emotional outbursts in any form: Euphoria, panic, confusion, gratitude - the full range. The dissolution of the ego feeling, „ego death“ is also possible.

Heroic trips with psychedelic truffles usually last at least 6 hours and require a lot of energy. Do not under any circumstances take such a dose in an unsafe environment or in the presence of strangers. This is the kind of experience that some people have in a clinical setting, with the intention of permanently altering their own psyche.

Heroic journeys have immense potential to change a person's life in a positive and lasting way, if you want them to. There is a great deal of research into what makes these experiences so transformative, but from the thousands of travel stories and anecdotal evidence, one thing is clear.

The more intense the mystical character of the experience, the longer the after-effects seem to last. In other words, an encounter with the divine (not in the sense of established religions, but rather as a feeling of holiness)

Can you „overdose“ on magic truffles?

For most people, an overdose is a fatal or permanently damaging dose. This is impossible with truffles.

Sure, you can brutally overestimate and experience a much stronger effect than expected. For example, a very sensitive person can get strong psychedelic effects even from what is listed here as a „mini-dose“.

This can lead to temporary discomfort if you experience a psychedelic trip that feels stronger than you had hoped for. But just like magic mushrooms, truffles have such low toxicity that you can't poison yourself with them, even if you try.
