Fadiman / Stamets Stack Protocol
Fadiman Protocol
Two of the most well-known microdosing methods are the Fadiman Protocol and the Stamets Stack Protocol. These provide structured approaches for incorporating microdoses into your wellness routine.
- Developed by psychologist Dr. James Fadiman.
- Schedule: Take a microdose every third day.
- Example: Dose on Day 1, no dose on Days 2 & 3, repeat.
- This protocol avoids building tolerance and allows time for reflection and integration.
Stamets Stack Protocol
- Developed by mycologist Paul Stamets.
- Schedule: 4–5 days on, followed by 2–3 days off.
- Stack: Combines psilocybin microdose with lion’s mane mushroom and niacin (Vitamin B3).
- Believed to promote neurogenesis and cognitive enhancement.
- More intense than Fadiman’s and often used in short-term “cycles.”
Note: Choose a protocol based on your personal goals, lifestyle, and sensitivity. Start slowly, monitor how you feel, and adjust as needed.
Psilocybin Dosage Protocol
Psilocybin Dosge
Microdose (0.1 – 0.5 grams):
Designed for subtle effects, microdosing is often used to boost mood, creativity, focus, and overall well-being without noticeable shifts in perception. Many users follow a structured schedule, such as dosing every few days, to avoid tolerance buildup while maintaining steady benefits.
Minidose (0.5 – 1.0 grams):
This range produces gentle effects, including mild perceptual changes, enhanced mood, and a relaxed state of mind. It’s well-suited for individuals who want to explore psilocybin’s influence without entering into a highly altered state.
Museum Dose (1.0 – 2.0 grams):
At this level, effects become more pronounced, often including visual distortions, shifts in thought patterns, and heightened euphoria. A moderate dose offers a deeper, more immersive journey, but should be approached with mindfulness and preparation.
Psilocybin Dosage (cont.)
High Dose (2.0 – 5.0 grams):
Strong psychedelic effects are common at this stage—ranging from vivid visual and auditory hallucinations to profound emotional and perceptual changes. This level is generally recommended for experienced users, as the intensity may be overwhelming for beginners.
Hero Dose (5.0 grams and above):
Such doses can bring about powerful states of consciousness, including ego dissolution, a sense of unity with the universe, and deeply transformative experiences. Due to its intensity, this range should only be attempted by seasoned psychonauts in a safe, supportive environment, ideally with a sober sitter present.
Note: Choose a protocol based on your personal goals, lifestyle, and sensitivity. Start slowly, monitor how you feel, and adjust as needed.
