MICRODOSING
WHAT IS MICRODOSING?
Microdosing is the act of integrating sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics into your weekly routine to mitigate symptoms of anxiety or to enhance levels of creativity, energy and focus. “Sub-perceptual” means that tiny amounts are consumed, less than 1/10th of a standard recreational dose.
Microdosing is not intended to cause any strong psychedelic or hallucinogenic effects, which typically allows for normal functioning in social or professional settings.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Psychedelics are believed to have played a crucial role in our cognitive evolution. They taught early humans how to use language, symbols, images and sounds. They brought meaning into the cognitive sphere and revealed connections that were not recognized before.
The term psychedelic comes from the Greek word “psyche,” meaning mind + “delos,” meaning to make visible. Psychedelics enhance pattern recognition, allowing us to detect new information from old patterns and engage in creative out-of-the-box thinking.
PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
Microdosing is becoming a widely researched performance enhancement technique for its subtle ability to spur pattern disruption over time. Through a deactivation of the brain’s default mode network, you can gain greater access to the subconscious mind and more easily deconstruct limiting thought and behavior patterns.
It’s as if you are tuning into a different channel, and receiving a download of insights that aren’t normally accessible. Integration of new information rewires our brain and body chemistry to more easily acquire new behaviors and catalyze monumental change in previously “stuck” areas of life.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH VISUALIZEIN360
VISUALIZEIN360 offers microdosing coaching with either Psilocybin mushrooms or Lysergic acid diethyl amide (LSD). Where legal, our team will source and dose these substances for your safety and convenience.
These are two of the most common and well-researched substances used for microdosing, and they are also the most ethically and sustainably-produced.
For Psilocybin mushrooms, a typical micro dose is 0.1 to 0.3 grams, which is 1/5th to 1/20th of a typical recreational “macro dose” of 2-3 grams. The dosage is prepared by drying the mushrooms, grinding them into powder, and using an accurate scale to measure the desired quantities, which are then placed into individual capsules. The powder can also be dissolved into hot water like loose-leaf tea.
For LSD, a typical micro dose is 6-20 micrograms which is 1/16th to 1/5th of a single tab. The dosage is prepared through the volumetric method in which a full tab (100 micrograms) is submerged in distilled water. Small measured quantities of water are then taken. Each 1ml of liquid contains 10 micrograms of LSD.
DOSING
Take a pre-measured sub-perceptual dose of the psychedelic substance and learn self-reflection techniques to gain greater insight.
OBSERVATION
Consistently track your experience, including subtle changes in mood, perception, and mental and emotional states.
CALIBRATION
Based on feedback, incremental changes are made to the dosages in order to optimize the experience and mitigate any side-effects.
TIMING
Specific, research-based protocol elements are provided regarding the the timing, frequency and duration of the microdose experience.

SCIENCE-BASED BENEFITS
Psychedelics are non-addictive, meaning they do not activate the reward pathways in the brain. Preliminary research has shown them to yield extraordinary medicinal and therapeutic value.
Additionally, they leave virtually no toxicity behind, making them remarkably safe from a physiological and toxicological standpoint.
ASK US ANYTHING
HOW LONG DOES THE MICRODOSING PROTOCOL LAST?
The microdosing protocol is designed to last 6-8 weeks, depending on specific needs. Clients can discontinue use at any time.
What's the difference between microdosing psilocybin mushrooms and LSD?
Psilocybin mushrooms are found in nature, whereas LSD is produced in a laboratory. Some people prefer mushrooms because they are organic substances that come from the Earth. However, that also means they have an element of variability in their effects.
How can i ensure the substances are safe?
Where legal, psychedelics are sourced from reputable suppliers and are checked using reliable vendors and drug testing kits to ensure unadulterated LSD and the correct strain of mushrooms have been procured.
do i have adjust my routine while microdosing?
The purpose of a microdose is to enhance your normal day-to-day routine. However, we recommend an element of planned intensity, which allows you to reinforce changes in routine or behavior that you intend to make throughout the course.
Do i have to microdose every day while on the protocol?
We offer guidance on two research-based protocols that involve taking a microdose on 3-4 days out of the week. The type of protocol chosen will be based on specific needs and intentions.
Can i microdose with MDMA or ketamine?
While there is research to suggest microdosing with MDMA and Ketamine can be effective, we do not advise to do so within this program. Stimulants and anesthetics change your neurochemistry in a very different way compared to psychedelics. There is research that suggests prolonged use may be detrimental to health.
VISUALIZEin360 only recommends microdosing in areas where it is legal to do so. Not everyone is suitable for a microdosing protocol. Always consult a physician before making the decision to take any psychoactive substance.
