FAQ

Microdosing refers to the taking or administering of very small amounts of a substance in order to benefit from its physiological action while minimizing any undesirable side effects. A single psilocybin microdose is usually between .1 to .5 grams (less than half of a gram) of dried mushrooms. There is a lot of information online and many recent articles discussing microdosing psychedelics that have sparked the interest of people seeking a way to improve their lives. We will discuss your personal microdosing goals during a scheduled call.

Psilocybin is the naturally occurring compound found in many species of psychedelic mushrooms or “magic mushrooms”. It has been used by humans for millennia in ceremony and as a tool for physical, spiritual and mental well-being, and it has been extensively researched by therapists and scientists. Psilocybin converts to psilocin once it is consumed and induces altered states of consciousness.

Yes. We have been working with psilocybin and clients in Jamaica for over two years and have formulated a highly successful and well-tolerated recipe that includes a small dose of psilocybin. Researchers recently found psilocybin mushrooms to be the least harmful substance, deemed safer than all other substances, including alcohol, tobacco, and even cannabis. Please see the contraindications below for who should not participate. Jamaica does not restrict or regulate psilocybin and therefore allows this. Our mushrooms are grown safely by experts on the island.

Shrooms Are the Safest Drug You Can Take

Our microdose recipe contains less than half a gram of dried mushrooms in each dose. Sometimes participants will take more than one microdose a day. You may take up to a maximum of 3 doses over the course of one day.

We describe it as a ‘glow”, there are no hallucinations or distortion of your senses with microdosing, you will feel something that is barely perceptible and alights your senses.
Macro (or large) doses of 1+ grams of dried mushrooms may cause a psychedelic experience, disorientation, profound introspection and intense emotional experiences.
We do not offer macrodosing at this time.

Yes. Please note all participants must be over the age of 18.

However, if you would like to explore the area, there are rugged coast-lines and secluded beaches, a floating bar for a refreshing juice, and friendly neighborhood hangouts. The South Coast is a vibrant mixture of low-key and get-up-and-go adventures. You can rent a bike, hail a taxi, jump on a boat or head out on foot. There’s history, there’s culture and there’s nature all around. We have a list of suggestions to share and will help you arrange transportation.
