The popularity of microdosing mushrooms for sale is booming, and not just among Silicon Valley insiders. The practice of taking tiny amounts of the psychedelic substance, also known as magic mushrooms, to boost creativity and focus is spreading like wildfire. Its users say that the experience is more about self-awareness and heightened empathy than “seeing stuff.”

The term microdosing was coined by entrepreneur Paul Austin, founder of the start-up Third Wave, which promotes responsible use of psychedelic substances. It’s a way of taking small doses of substances that he says “enhance mood, enhances productivity, increases concentration and enhances the ability to empathize with others.” Traditionally, psychedelic drugs were used in larger quantities for spiritual experiences and altered states. But at lower doses, they’ve been used as an aphrodisiac to enhance sexual experience and boost energy, as a pain reliever for gout and arthritis and as a treatment for psychological conditions including depression, PTSD and phobias.

Exploring the Benefits: Microdosing Mushrooms for Sale

Buying mushrooms isn’t legal, but there are plenty of online retailers that offer a variety of options for the discerning psychonaut. Sites like Schedule35 and the Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary are standouts that offer everything from edible psilocybe mushrooms to microdosing capsules. They’re backed by solid customer service and a range of secure payment options.

But as a state law to regulate mushroom cultivation takes effect in 2024, these sites may be in trouble. It will ban not only paid advertising but also all forms of promotion for unlicensed mushroom guides who provide guided experiences, a move designed to discourage informal operations and push consumers to regulated facilities.
