When is 4 grams considered a microdose?! 
 
Mike Tyson recently ate 4 grams of mushrooms on a podcast (video below). But he says he eats mushrooms every day. 

If Mike Tyson was consuming magic mushrooms every day, it’s likely that he developed a high tolerance to the psychoactive effects of the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. This means he may not experience the typical hallucinogenic effects that most people associate with consuming these mushrooms and what he was doing could be considered a form of microdosing. 

Microdosing involves taking small, sub-perceptual amounts of a psychedelic substance, such as psilocybin, on a regular basis over an extended period of time. The goal of microdosing is not to experience the full psychedelic effects of the substance, but rather to potentially experience other benefits, such as increased creativity, improved mood, and enhanced focus, without the risks associated with higher doses. 

Studies have found that psilocybin can promote feelings of well-being and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, even in people who have not responded well to other forms of treatment. Magic mushrooms have been shown to hold therapeutic potential for mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. It’s important to note that consuming magic mushrooms can also have potential risks and negative side effects, particularly if used in large quantities or in unsafe conditions. As with any substance, it’s important to use caution and to be aware of the potential risks and benefits before consuming magic mushrooms.
