Hey friend,

You know what’s a trip?

Psychedelic legalities.

For decades, psychedelics were buried by fear, misinformation, and prohibition, shutting down research and cutting off access to powerful tools for healing.

Even now, with clinical trials showing breakthrough results, the system remains slow to change.

It still gatekeeps transformation and leaves people trapped in symptom-management cycles.

But here’s what most don’t know:

There are legal plant medicines—some with effects similar to psilocybin, LSD, and DMT—hiding in plain sight.

No clinic. No prescription. No underground network.

Just ancient tools, rooted in tradition, quietly waiting in garden shops, nursery pots, and wild soil.

While the laws lag, the Earth has already given us the keys.

We have to remember how to use them.

3 Legal Psychedelics for Microdosing

Quick note before we dive in—when I say “legal,” I’m referring to legal plants to possess in the U.S. and many other countries.

Of course, once you process them into something consumable, you’re stepping into legally gray territory (but hey—what you do in the privacy of your own space is your business).

1) San Pedro Cactus

San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi), also known as Huachuma, is a sacred Andean cactus with a long history of ceremonial use—yet here in the U.S., it’s often just seen as a decorative plant.

What most people don’t realize?

It contains mescaline—the same powerful psychedelic alkaloid found in peyote. [1]

While peyote is tightly restricted, San Pedro remains widely accessible and perfectly legal to own.

When microdosed, mescaline is reported to:

• Sharpen mental clarity
• Elevate mood
• Reduce stress & anxiety
• Increase focus & concentration
• Promote a sense of well-being & contentment

A typical microdose ranges from 1 to 2 grams of dried San Pedro cactus, delivering approximately 10–20 milligrams of mescaline.

2) Morning Glory

Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea) is an ornamental flower whose seeds contain the psychoactive alkaloid, Ergine or Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA). [2]

LSA is closely related to LSD but delivers unique benefits and effects.

LSA-containing seeds, such as Ololiuhqui (Turbina corymbosa), have been used for centuries by Mesoamerican cultures like the Maya and Aztecs to induce altered states of consciousness for healing and spiritual ceremonies. [3]

When microdosed, common LSA effects include:

• Powerful anti-anxiety properties
• Regulation of the nervous system
• Anti-migraine & cluster headache-relieving properties [4]
• Sedative-like effects that may help with insomnia

A typical microdose of Morning Glory is around 10 seeds (250 mg), approximately 100 mcg of LSA.

3) Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric)

Amanita muscaria—also known as Fly Agaric—is arguably the most iconic mushroom in pop culture.

You know, the red-capped, white-dotted one?

You’ve seen it in Alice in Wonderland, spotted in Super Mario Bros, and etched into folklore across continents.

According to archaeological evidence, it may be the longest-used “magic mushroom” in human history.

But it’s nothing like psilocybin mushrooms.

While psilocybin acts on serotonin pathways, Amanita’s effects come from two unique compounds—ibotenic acid and muscimol [5]—which primarily target the brain’s GABA system (specifically GABA-A receptors). [6]

This reduces neural activity, promoting relaxation, stress relief, and anti-anxiety effects—the reason why Amanita muscaria has sedative and calming properties. [7]

When microdosed, Amanita muscaria is reported to:

• Enhance creativity and divergent thinking
• Soothe anxiety and dampen fear responses
• Promote deep, lucid dreaming
• Reduce pain and inflammation [8]

A typical microdose is less than 1 gram of dried Amanita muscaria mushrooms.

Modern prohibition doesn’t have to limit your access to the transformative power of microdosing psychedelics.

Mother Nature offers you the ancient medicines you need to heal, grow, and thrive in the modern world.

The tools are already here, quietly waiting for you to rediscover them.

Who knows—they might already be growing in your yard!

It’s time to break free from outdated systems and embrace the natural pathways to true healing, without the barriers of bureaucracy or fear.

I'm curious:

• Have you explored any of these legal plant medicines yet? If so, what was your experience like?
• If not, what would you love to learn more about before diving in?

Happy dosing,
