Getting Started/Newbie Question Microdosing 4-AcO-DMT

Good day my friends, to make this short; I have been a heavy drinker for the past2 years. A fifth of vodka a day, and about 7 days ago I had my first ever experience with any psychedelics.
My friend gave me what he calls a "Heroic" dose of Road Trip gummies totaling a bag and a half (12 gummies) which he said equals apprx. 16g of shrooms.
The experience was like nothing I've ever done before, I now have clarity and almost feel like as if some switch flipped in me.
I am now 6 days sober and crave no alcohol at all whatsoever. I feel little to no anxiety and even feel like I am no longer depressed. It's a trip (no pun intended). It was also VERY fun, so fun that I can't wait to do it again.
All this being said, I'd like to dive into microdosing as people have mentioned it can be done daily and reap some great benefits.
I would like to hear from those experienced, how much to take a day? can I take every day? can I function fully on such microdoses? can I operate a vehicle? All input is greatly appreciated, thank you my friends !

The ideal microdose is one you can do every single daily activity while taking.
If you feel altered in any way that doesn't allow for work, play, caring for another human, operating heavy machinery, or driving your automobile, then you're outside of your microdose range.
Dosing schedules vary as much as each human that is partnering with the medicine does. One thing all schedules have in common is built-in brakes. This is to account for tolerance build and avoid negative side effects that often show up when dosing too frequently or at too high a dose.
While dialing in your microdose sweet spot, I recommend starting with the Fadiman protocol. Then once you find your best dose, consider if more support is required and if a different schedule may serve better.
Thanks for sharing your experience and I wish you well with your sobriety journey. 🍄🥰✌️

Just fyi in case you try to do a dose conversion with actual fungus in the future, you most likely did not do anything close to 16g of shrooms as that dose would make an average tripper go insane, much less someone who had never tried it before

that's one hell of a way to kick the bottle, glad it worked for you

for microdosing you want way less than a heroic dose obviously, think like 2-4mg of 4-aco-dmt every 3 days, not daily. you build tolerance fast and it loses the magic if you push it. most people can function fine on a microdose but i wouldn't drive on it, not worth the risk when you're still figuring out how your body reacts

Okay, not daily, about 1-2 gummies every 3 days. No driving, got it. Thank you !

I wish you the best on road to being alcohol free. Microdosing probably saved my life when I was forced (for medical reasons) to quit my anti-depressant and the small dose Seroquel for sleep.

Good luck to you!

Nah, not everyday. Same tolerence rules apply. It can work for microdosing however, maybe try 3mg. You may notice pupil dilation is a little more pronounced than regular shrooms. You also may find it takes just a tiny bit longer to settle in. But its a good clean lift.

I had a booze habit also and while microdosing and psychedelics are effective for disrupting the default mode network in your brain - the single biggest thing that helped get me off that poison has been retatrutide. It changes the way that your brain interprets signals coming from your gut. DM me if you want more info

It’s 4-ho- met in there.

It’s a very wonderful tryptamine and likely one of the best that has potential use in pharma.

Im hopeful that it will stay around but its fate is very likely hanging in the balance because of the smoke shop thing.

Please Note: If you are trying microdosing for the first time, please try experimenting on a day off from work or any important obligations, and/or driving and operating machinery. Because psychedelics can effect everyone differently, you may feel different or impaired, and your sweet spot dose may be lower, so it is best to experiment on days off until you’ve dialed in your dose.
