What do I Need a Guide to Dose Magic-Mels?
To understand why SetSet Magic-Mels is Seattle's most sought-after magic mushroom edible, you need a guide to appreciate its thoughtful formulation to maximize potency without sacrificing delicious flavor as well as how to time the ingestion of this edible with other foods.Â
What's a Pro-Tip in the Guide to Magic-Mels?
As with all psilocybin, consume the complete dose you intend to ingest within 90 minutes of your first dose.Â
0 minutes:Â Ingest Dose #1, and set a timer for 45 minutes.Â
45 minutes: Assess your state before proceeding with Dose #2, and set a timer for 45 minutes.
90 minutes:  Assess your state before proceeding with another dose. Do not ingest more psilocybin after this 2nd timer.Â
Dosage is perhaps one of the trickiest aspects of the magic mushroom experience, so asking how much to take is an important and responsible part of the process. No two trips, even the same dosages to the same person, will result in identical trips. Daily differences in naturally occurring body chemicals and in the foods we ingest will impact the effects of a psychedelic chemical.
This potency chart is a good guide to potency and experience. Remember that these are general effects and more potent strains like Penis Envy will present these qualities more intensely.Â
The recommended dose for beginners and those looking for a mild âtripâ
MICRODOSE: 0.08 - 0.3 grams
10-20% of a standard dose, microdosing is reported to enhance creativity, focus, and mood without experiencing any notable side effects such as hallucinations or other significant changes in perception.Â
MUSEUM DOSE: 0.4 - 0.75 grams
A museum dose is noticeably felt on the physical and cerebral planes. One may experience increased euphoria, weightlessness, and awe but not so intoxicated as to be inhibited from general motor skills such as walking or speaking. Â
The recommended dose for beginners and those looking for a moderate to moderately intense âtripâ
LOW DOSE: 0.5 - 1.5 grams
You wonât completely dissociate at this dosage level and should be able to interact with your environment and other people relatively normally. These interactions may be more significant to you or seem very amusing. Any hallucinations will be subtle with eyes open, though perhaps more pronounced with eyes closed.
MEDIUM DOSE: 1.5 - 3.0 grams
At this dosage, you will experience a âproperâ psychedelic trip. With eyes both open and closed, you may experience visual changes, enhanced colors, unexpected sounds, and possibly slight hallucinations plus signs of introspective awakenings. Â
The recommended dose for experienced psychonauts and those looking to âtrip hardâ
HIGH DOSE: 3.0 - 5.0 grams
Expect intense changes in visuals, thought patterns, and feelings. We advise to only ease into this dosage if a lesser dosage is not reacting in your body after an hour. It is likely you will hallucinate extreme perceptual distortions, and go on a wild mental journey with possible ego dissolution.Â
HERO DOSE: 5+ GRAMS
Expect disconnection from consensus reality. A heroic dose, in its early stages, presents all of the effects of lower doses but rapidly progresses to a unique and mind-blowing experience. Trippers can completely lose their sense of place and time so high potency is often best accompanied by a sitter. After a trip of this magnitude, take the time to process everything that happened to you.
Microdosing FAQ
Psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under federal law. This workshop offers education and harm-reduction guidance. Attendees are responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal laws.
The effects of microdosing psychedelics are usually subtle and may last for several hours, depending on the substance and dose. Patients may notice mild improvements in mood, focus, and creativity without experiencing the intense hallucinations associated with higher doses.
You should never combine psilocybin with SSRIs or MAOIs without professional guidance. Always consult your prescriber.
Given psilocybin's legal status, obtaining it safely is challenging. Providers should advise patients to seek information from reputable sources and caution them against purchasing products from unverified or illegal markets. Emphasizing harm reduction practices and legal considerations is crucial.
Effective dosages for microdosing vary by substance but generally fall between 1/10th and 1/20th of a typical recreational dose. For example, an effective microdose of psilocybin might be around 0.1 to 0.3 grams of dried mushrooms.
If you experience visuals, nausea, or anxiety, itâs likely too much. Reduce your dose and track your experience.
Goals are future-oriented tasks. Intentions are present-moment energies guiding how you show up daily.
Some feel subtle shifts within a day or two. For others, it builds over weeks. Integration days - or days off from dosing - are often where emotional clarity arises.
