The Fadiman Protocol is a microdosing method developed by psychologist James Fadiman. The protocol focuses on regularly taking small amounts of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin, to experience subtle changes in consciousness without the intensity of a full dose.

The Protocol

The Fadiman protocol involves taking a microdose, usually between 0.1 and 0.3 grams of truffles, on a fixed day of the week. This is followed by two days without intake, after which the cycle is repeated. This schedule ensures that you do not build up a tolerance and the effects remain consistent.

Advantages
Many users report improved focus, increased productivity, reduced anxiety and depression, and improved creativity. The protocol is often used by people who want to improve their daily functioning without the risks of a full psychedelic trip.

Precautionary measures
Although the Fadiman Protocol offers many benefits, it is important to always use psychedelics safely and responsibly. Start with a low dose to determine your personal sensitivity and keep a diary to monitor the effects. Always consult a professional if you have any doubts.
