How long does microdosing last?
Beyond immediate effects to long-term transformation
Microdosing, in case you're new to the term, is the act of consuming a negligibly small dose of psychedelic mushrooms, also known as "shrooms," which doesn’t cause dramatic changes in your consciousness but instead subtly tweaks your mood and cognitive functions.
Defenseless against this subtle transformation, time appears uncertain, lingering deliciously longer in moments of happiness and intriguingly compressing in periods of anxiety.
Contrary to popular belief, the effects of microdosing mushrooms don’t end after the commonly cited 4 to 6 hours.
Sure, some of the immediate effects wane around this time, but the real magic happens beyond this window.

You might be wondering, "How long does microdosing last?" beyond the first 4-6 hours?
You see, the mushrooms continue their work, a gentle beckoning towards self-recovery and contemplation, for up to 48 hours and longer…
During these first 48 hours, your heightened awareness might make you feel colors more vividly.
As well as casting a golden glow on the world around you, the mushrooms encourage an inner warmth, a spreading sensation that echoes the rhythm of the earth while allowing you to connect more deeply with nature and yourself.
The basic concept of microdosing is nothing new. Albert Hofmann, who first synthesized LSD in 1938, considered it one of the drug’s most promising, and least researched, applications. He was among the first to realize its antidepressant and cognition-enhancing potential, famously taking between 10 and 20 μg himself, twice a week, for the last few decades of his life.

From whispering worries to woven thoughts: The extended journey of microdosing magic mushrooms
Once the immediate effects fade, a sense of existential calmness descends with the grace of a feather, slowly touching down and reducing your screaming worries to whispers.
It's as if the microdosing shrooms have beautifully color-coded your problems by their actual importance.
This newfound clarity clears the path for your thoughts to weave seamlessly into each other, creating a spiral of ideas, each leading interestingly to the next.
Many clients in our community report the sensations experienced on the day of microdosing differ significantly from those felt the following day.
Psilocin, the active form of psilocybin in magic mushrooms, is excreted from your body within 12 hours, with some evidence stating it can be as long as 1-3 days.
The feeling that one experiences after the initial 6+ hours is due to the stimulation of your nervous system and expansion of consciousness.
Beyond the experience of a single microdose and the ensuing 48 hours, the longer-term impact is where the microdosing mushrooms truly shine.
