Microdose Pro, a company founded in April 2020, has experienced steady growth with a compound monthly growth rate of 15 percent. Founders Paar and Taselaar have discovered the transformative effects of microdosing psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms. Taselaar, who initially tried psilocybin as an alternative to Ritalin for managing ADD, found that it provided what he needed, not what he wanted. While truffles might not have an immediate impact on productivity, they contribute to increased productivity over time by helping individuals become more in tune with their emotions and bodies.
The shift towards remote work has also contributed to the popularity of microdosing. Working from home provides a safer environment for individuals to experiment with psychedelics. Joe Vela, a founder and musician, stated that he felt more comfortable microdosing when he was self-employed and working from home. It was during one of these periods that he came up with the idea for his sexual wellness brand, Emojibator, which was later acquired by a larger competitor. Microdosing can provide a gentle energy boost and enhance mood throughout the day.
However, microdosing is not a universal solution, and it requires a methodical approach with reflection and purpose. Many individuals may not have the time or space in their lives to dedicate to microdosing. It is important for users to be aware of the effects and adapt their regime accordingly.
While microdosing remains illegal in many European countries, the use of legal mushroom variants such as lion’s mane and cordyceps is gaining popularity. These nootropics are often used in conjunction with microdosing or as an entry point for those interested in exploring the potential benefits of mushrooms.
Advocates of microdosing argue that if socially acceptable drugs like coffee and nicotine have become part of workplace routines despite their adverse effects, microdosing could potentially play a bigger role in the lives of knowledge workers and even organizational rituals in the future. As the microdosing industry continues to evolve, it is crucial to navigate legal restrictions and ensure responsible usage.
