Microdosing 101

Microdosing refers to consuming small, controlled amounts of psilocybin to enhance everyday wellbeing without causing hallucinations. Long-term microdosing has been reported to elevate mood, increase energy, sharpen creativity, improve focus, reduce stress and anxiety, encourage healthier habits, and promote overall mental clarity and emotional balance.

Space Water makes microdosing simple and approachable with two distinct options:

• Microdose (200 mg): Ideal for gentle enhancement and subtle effects.
• Tap In (400 mg): For a more noticeable shift in focus, creativity, and energy.

1. Finding Your Dose

Microdosing is deeply personal, and the right dose depends on your goals and body chemistry. Space Water provides two easy-to-choose options:

• 200 mg (Microdose): For those seeking a soft shift in focus, energy, and mood.
• 400 mg (Tap In): A slightly stronger dose to deepen creativity and connection.

Start low and go slow. If 200 mg feels too subtle, you can experiment with the 400 mg option. Give yourself time to explore and resist the urge to compare your experience with others. Trust your body to guide you toward your ideal dose.

What to Expect with Space Water:

• On your dose days: Subtle, uplifting effects such as enhanced focus, increased empathy, sharper creativity, and a heightened connection to your surroundings. You should feel like yourself—just on a really great day.
• On your non-dose days: Many people experience an “afterglow,” a lingering sense of clarity and positivity from the previous dose.
• Over time: As you microdose consistently, you may notice lasting improvements in mood, focus, and overall mental clarity.

2. Establishing a Protocol

Microdosing protocols are flexible. Popular schedules include:

• Fadiman Protocol: 1 day on, 2 days off (repeat).
• Stamets Stack: 5 days on, 2 days off (repeat).

We recommend starting with two days a week, such as Saturday and Tuesday mornings, and adjusting based on your experience. Remember to take at least two days off per week to prevent tolerance. Additionally, taking a one-week break every two months helps reset your baseline and evaluate your progress.

3. Setting Your Intention

Before beginning with Space Water, clarify what you want to achieve. Are you looking to boost focus and creativity, reduce stress, or improve emotional balance? Write down your goals and track your experience through journaling.

Journaling helps you observe patterns, track changes, and reflect on unexpected benefits like better sleep, healthier habits, or a more positive mindset.

4. Benefits of Space Water

Consistent microdosing with Space Water can:

• Enhance desirable states:

  • Improved mood, focus, creativity, and energy.
  • Sharpened mental clarity and relational skills.
  • Increased flow states, empathy, and pro-social behavior.

• Reduce undesirable feelings:

  • Alleviate stress, anxiety, and mild depression.
  • Support ADD/ADHD, PTSD, and emotional balance.

5. Potential Risks

Psilocybin is a natural compound but may carry risks depending on legality and individual sensitivity. While Space Water is formulated for safety, it’s essential to consult your local regulations before purchasing or using psilocybin products.

6. Flow States

Flow states occur when you’re fully immersed in an activity, feeling both focused and effortlessly productive. Microdosing with Space Water helps quiet the mind’s default mode network, encouraging unique neural connections and higher serotonin levels—key factors for entering flow.

7. Therapeutic Applications

Microdosing with Space Water may complement therapies for mental health conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. Many users report breakthroughs in self-awareness, improved emotional processing, and greater personal insight when microdosing alongside talk therapy.
