The benefits of microdosing typically last for 2-3 days, although some people report they feel more creative and focused for up to a week after.

Although dosing schedules are different for each person, the most common one that people use in Silicon Valley involves taking magic truffles or another psychedelic every three or four days.

After that, they’ll continue to take a microdose every third or fourth day for up to two months. A break is sometimes necessary to reduce the body’s resiliency to the substance, typically lasting two to four weeks.

Then the Silicon Valley employee will resume their dosing schedule.
