Is it safe for me to microdose?

1. People with a history of mental health conditions

Psychedelics can have a significant impact on one's psyche, and it is not recommended for individuals who are already struggling with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression. If you have a history of mental illness or are currently struggling with one, it is suggested that you avoid microdosing.

2. Pregnant or nursing women

Little is known about the effects of psilocybin on unborn babies or nursing infants, and it is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women to consume any psychedelics.

3. Individuals with a heart condition

Psilocybin can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and it is not recommended for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or hypertension to microdose.

4. Those who are taking prescription drugs

It is important to speak with a healthcare professional before microdosing with psilocybin as it may interact with certain prescription drugs, leading to unwanted side effects.

Overall, if you are considering microdosing with psilocybin, it is important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider and thoroughly consider if you are an appropriate candidate.
