17. What it Means to Be Cali Sober: Psilocybin Microdosing Dosage

How much is too much? How little is too little? In this episode of The High Guide, April Pride and guest Michelle Lhooq dig deep into the elusive art of psilocybin microdosing—why it matters, how to do it, and what not to do. Drawing from personal experience and global conversations, they cover everything from LSD tinctures to Beyoncé-induced weeping, offering science-backed insight and real-world wisdom for those navigating the Cali Sober lifestyle. Whether you're curious about your first 0.2g dose or recalibrating after a 3.5g hero’s journey, this one’s for you.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-A microdose is typically between 0.1–0.5g of psilocybin—well below a “heroic” 3.5g dose.

-Always start slow, especially in social settings. You can always take more—but not less.

-Set (mindset) and setting (environment) are just as important as dose for a smooth experience.

-Tinctures offer more accurate, fast-acting dosing than chocolates or capsules.

-Guidance from experienced peers or a sober trip-sitter can transform your first experience.
