    There’s a world of difference between a micro and a macro dose. You don’t want to be anywhere near work with the latter.

      The difference being, with one you get a light, pleasant, happy, drunk adjacent feeling. With the other, you’re sitting on the ground staring into the infinite void of nothingness, head lolled to one side, while your friends dab the back of your neck with a cool towel, hoping you don’t puke and asphyxiate on it.

        I’d argue that once you are feeling effects of the drug, you are no longer micro dosing.

        Micro dosing started out as a way to describe the maximum amount of substance you could take without feeling primary effects.

          Yeah the whole thing is dumb. Let me eat as many mushrooms as I can without tripping balls so I can kinda work and think I’m a genius. That was hard enough to balance with weed in the office. Real drugs?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Worst case, nothing happens. “Best case,” I lose my career??? No thanks man. Maybe I’ll use them to clear my head on a Friday alone and use the sober new perspective on Monday. During work with no upside??? Nobody has to drive during the day??? End old man rant

            But as your body builds up resistance you’re gonna have to increase the dose

            Also I imagine it’s like super sugar where people say “a little sweeter would be fine” and keep increasing the dose.

              which is also why the doses need to stay micro; so the body doesn’t percieve it as something worth building resistance to.

              I definitely don’t want to be anywhere near Level 2 of a mushroom trip when I’m trying to actually function.

              Just keep it nice and low; measure out 3.14g and split it 4 ways; have a quarter piece of Pi and all that cheesy goodness or wotnot.
