Six things that apply to every dose on this page. If you skip these, no amount of good vibes will fix a bad set-up.
10–40 min
From swallow to first noticeable shift. Empty stomach faster, full stomach softer.
3–6 hours
Depending on dose and person. Peak at 90 min, comedown last hour, softer tail after.
Eat first
A light meal 60–90 minutes before. Cuts nausea. Honey ginger tea if it hits.
Water nearby
Bottle within arm’s reach. Especially outdoors or if you’re moving around.
No other substances
No alcohol, no cannabis, no SSRIs, no MAOIs. Interactions are real and unpredictable.
Get one
First time, big dose, or new setting — have one sober person nearby. Non-negotiable.
Each one does a different job. Match the dose to the intention, not the other way around.
A quiet edge. You’ll barely feel it. What happens is your baseline — focus, mood, patience — nudges up over weeks. Not an experience. A protocol. Fadiman rhythm: one dose, two days off, repeat.
— like the morning of your birthday.
Shop microdoses →The first real signal. Colours a touch warmer. Music a touch fuller. A slight mood elevation and enhanced sensory awareness — without leaving the room, so to speak. Fully functional. Great for a quiet Saturday.
— happy-go-lucky. Everything is just… nicer.
Shop gummies →The introduction. Perception starts to shift — mild visuals, breathing walls, patterns in the wood grain. Emotions come up bigger. Introspection deepens. Still fully in control. The classic on-ramp for anyone new to the actual experience.
— a beginner’s paradise. First rodeo, done right.
Shop chocolates →The classic psychedelic dose. Vivid visuals, altered time and space, deep introspection, profound emotional experiences. Not for doing errands. Comfortable setting, sober trip sitter nearby, no other plans. This is the one people call “the trip.”
— a Saturday you plan around. Not a Wednesday.
Shop dried →Intense visuals and auditory shifts. Ego starts to loosen. Profound insights are on the table, but so is an overwhelming emotional wave. This isn’t your third trip — it’s your tenth. Preparation, integration, and a supportive environment are the price of admission.
— you don’t drive the car. You get in the back seat.
Terence McKenna’s territory. Complete ego dissolution, powerful visions, mystical experiences, deep interconnectedness. Not a recreational choice. Reserved for experienced users seeking transformation, with real preparation and a supportive container. If this is your first dose, this page is not for you yet.
— not something you do. Something that happens to you.
Match your intention to a dose. The medicine is the same molecule — how much you take decides what job it does.

Four hard rules. No exceptions, no clever workarounds. This is where most bad experiences come from — and all of them are avoidable.
No alcohol. No cannabis. No SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, lithium, or tramadol. The interactions are real, some are dangerous, and there’s no way to predict yours.
Or breastfeeding. No safety data exists, and psilocybin crosses the placenta. Wait.
Of psychosis, bipolar I, or schizophrenia — personal or family. Psychedelics can trigger episodes in vulnerable people. Talk to a psychiatrist first.
Any dose above microdose = you’re not driving that day. Not the next morning either if you didn’t sleep enough. Plan the ride.
Three ways in. Match the door to the intention.
