PracticalReading time: approx. 6 minutes

The question everyone asks, but does not always get a clear answer to: how much do you actually take?

Dosing is the foundation of a good experience. Too little and you barely notice anything. Too much and you are overwhelmed. With drops, dosing is easier to control than with dried mushrooms, provided you know what to look out for.

How do Psilo Drops work?

Psilo Drops are liquid solutions with a precisely dosed amount of 4-HO-MET per drop. Every drop contains the same amount of active substance, measurable and repeatable.

A conscious session. Clear change in consciousness, deeper introspection. Set aside 6–8 hours.
