No, the dose of psilocybin during a psychedelic session can be taken all at once or in two parts. The administration of psilocybin can therefore vary depending on the specific needs and experiences of the client. If individuals are anxious about the effects of psilocybin, it is often chosen to take approximately half of the chosen dosage at the beginning and the second half about 45-75 minutes later. This allows one to see if the effects are desired. For individuals with more confidence or prior experience, we more often opt for taking the full dosage, which results in a stronger peak experience.
