How to make your own micro-dispensing caps

If you’ve ever eaten dried mushrooms, you know how awful they taste. Luckily, there are other methods of consuming magic mushrooms that mean you don’t have to taste the mushrooms. Buying these pre-dosed products isn’t always ideal for everyone, however, and they’re likely to be more expensive than making the micro-dosing caps yourself.

Why are micro-dosing caps a good choice?

Microdosing caps are a great consumption method when it comes to magic mushrooms because they’re easy. You can easily incorporate them into your morning routine with the other supplements you are taking. Plus, they’re pre-measured so you don’t have to worry about measuring every time.

Things you need to make your micro-dosing caps

Of course, you’ll need your favorite variety of dried mushrooms, but there are a few other things you’ll likely need that you might not have thought of.

Dried Psilocybin Mushrooms

1. Appropriately sized capsules
2. Something to grind the mushrooms into powder. A coffee grinder or spice grinder can work well, but remember, if you’re also grinding coffee, make sure you have a second grinder just for mushrooms.
3. A digital scale. Getting the right dose is so much easier with a scale. Also, you’ll probably only measure 0.1 grams, so make sure the scale you buy can measure to 0.1
4. capsule filling machine. This isn’t necessary, but can make the process a lot easier, especially with smaller capsules. Alternatively, you can buy small spoons for filling.

You can also add other ingredients to your capsules for additional benefits. These typically include things like lion’s mane powder and nicain powder.

How to make your caps

After reading the things you need it’s probably pretty self explanatory as to what you need to do to make these caps, but I’ll give you the step-by-step guide anyway.

1. Grind dried mushrooms into a powder.
2. Measure the exact dose (you can weigh the powder and divide by the number of capsules to get the dose).
3. Mix powder with other ingredients when adding them.
4. fill capsules.

Finding out a microdosing dose

While you are figuring out the best dose for you, it may be a good idea not to encapsulate the ground mushrooms as it can be a bit difficult to adjust the dose afterwards.

Instead, you can grind up your shrooms and add them to your morning smoothie until you figure out what dose works best for you.

How big is a microdose?

Typically, a microdose is about 1/10th the size of a full psychedelic dose. So if you have already consumed magic mushrooms, you can take your normal dose and craft 10 micro-dose caps with it.

If you have never consumed magic mushrooms before, a good starting point is between 0.1 and 0.3 grams.
