When it comes to buying psychedelics, most people know better than to buy from illegal sellers who offer a low-grade version of the drug. But what about legal, safe online retailers that offer microdose capsules and psilocybin powder? It turns out there are several, but you need to know how to spot a quality seller.

Many online retailers have bought microdosing mushrooms up, promising to sell high-quality magic mushroom powder or spores that can be turned into microdose capsules. Some follow good manufacturing practices and provide customer support, while others are scams. If you want to buy mushrooms or psilocybin, the smart shopper will look for sites that clearly identify themselves and have clear shipping policies, and avoid any sites that promise extreme effects or guarantee experiences.

The first microdosing startup that Sifted noticed was Earth Resonance, which launched a social media blitz last year and promised workplace productivity gains for customers who take sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin or muscimol (the common name for the psilocybin-containing mushroom Amanita muscaria). A more premium option is Aydoo, which offers a guided eight-week programme with limited places, a 30-minute introduction call with a coach, and a 10-minute phone call every two weeks during the programme, all of which cost EUR299.

Another way to try a small-dose experience is with psilocin supplements, such as those offered by Purecybin, which combine psilocin with ginkgo biloba and bacopa. The supplement claims to improve cognitive functionality and brain health, while also reducing depression symptoms.
