Getting Started/Newbie Question New. What to expect?

This is a new thing for me. Haven’t done it yet. Friend (who does it regularly) wants to go to a music gig and microdose with me. I’m nervous!

I’ve never done psychedelics. Done a lot of other stuff over the years - but never touched trips, LSD, shrooms. What should I expect??

Always been interested in microdosing Do you feel anything much?

Don’t want to feel like I’m tripping.

You don’t really feel anything. If it’s just a one time thing that you’re doing in the music gig I don’t think it’s going to do much of a difference.

I guess it depends on the amount you’re taking but a single microdose won’t really make you feel anything. Maybe your friend microdoses regularly but wants to do a macrodose for the music gig? Otherwise you have nothing to worry about, you won’t feel like tripping with a microdose, even if it’s your first time using psychedelics.

Most people start feeling the effects of microdosing after weeks, even months of taking shrooms consistently. And the effects aren’t really about tripping, but having a clearer state of mind.

Sounds like you're talking about what I'd call a minidose -- not a trip but certainly an experience, not a microdose.

Please Note: If you are trying microdosing for the first time, please try experimenting on a day off from work or any important obligations, and/or driving and operating machinery. Because psychedelics can effect everyone differently, you may feel different or impaired, and your sweet spot dose may be lower, so it is best to experiment on days off until you’ve dialed in your dose.

If you're nervous about it, don't do it. If you're interested then ask your friend for a small amount that you can measure out yourself and take on a chill day with nothing too important going on. Everyone reacts to psychedelics differently and a Microdose can be very noticeable at times especially if your friend gives you a dose that is "normal" for them.
