psilocybin microdose capsules

Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound found in “magic mushrooms”, often in the Psilocybe genus. It’s used in spiritual rituals, recreationally, and as medicine.

Psilocybin has hallucinogenic effects. It can be obtained from both fresh and dried mushrooms in varying concentrations. It can also be created in a lab. There’s increased interest in using pure psilocybin for addictions, depression, and other mental and psychological disorders due to its potential to stimulate certain areas of the brain.

People use psilocybin for alcohol use disorder and other addictions, anxiety, depression, migraines, PTSD, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Psilocybin is illegal under federal law in the US. It is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance.
When taken by mouth: Psilocybin is possibly safe when used as a single dose under medical supervision. Single doses of psilocybin have been used in controlled settings without serious side effects. The most common side effects include confusion, fear, hallucinations, headache, high blood pressure, nausea, and paranoia. Despite being a controlled substance in the US, the risk for abuse seems low. Withdrawal symptoms and physical dependence don’t appear to be a major concern.

There isn’t enough reliable information to know if psilocybin is safe to use without medical supervision at any dose, including micro doses.
