What plants can I learn about in this book?
The book discusses three groups of substances for microdosing:
- Psychedelic substances, such as truffles, mushrooms, ayahuasca, LSD, and San Pedro.
- Non-psychedelic plants, such as blue lotus, caapi, ceremonial cacao, bobinsana, marosa, and rapé.
- Medicinal mushrooms, such as reishi, lion’s mane, chaga, cordyceps, and turkey tail.
Can I start microdosing after reading?
Yes, definitely. And even before reading the book. It’s simply nice to have a lot of background information: more insight into the different plants, so that you can start microdosing more consciously.
The last chapter mainly offers practical information on getting started. If you order a product from us, such as a tincture or ceremonial cacao, you will always receive a free e-book explaining how to use it.
Will I trip from microdosing?
No, definitely not. The book introduces you to many more microdosing options than what is commonly known, such as truffles and LSD. For example, you will also read about the tinctures that we sell in our webshop. All of our tinctures are non-psychedelic, and they are all described in the book Microdosing.

The basicsThe power of plantsHow does microdosing work?Self-reflectionFears and prejudicesYour own assessment
What is microdosing?
“Actually, it’s very simple: microdosing means taking a small (micro)dose of a plant medicine or a synthetically produced substance. I also sometimes call microdosing a mini-retreat.”
Maria Johanna, from chapter 2
What you read
The book in three parts
“I wish you a good journey and a lot of joy in finding yourself.” – Maria Johanna
- Part I · Chapters 1–4
The basics
How plant medicines turn Maria Johanna's life upside down, what is meant by microdosing and how it works.
“I also sometimes call microdosing a mini-retreat.”
- Part II · Chapters 5–7
The differences
Psychedelic and non-psychedelic plant medicines and medicinal mushrooms: what they are, where they come from, and how they differ.
“An important consideration is whether a substance is a psychedelic or not.”
- Part III · chapters 8 – 11
The practical questions
Expectations, fears and prejudices, and a chapter on getting started. Very concrete: four schedules, choosing an intention, daily questions, a review after one month and what to do about alcohol, driving and exercise.
“All the answers are already within you anyway.”

Maria Johanna explains
What happens in your brain?
In this short video, Maria Johanna explains what happens in your brain when you microdose, as she explains in more detail in chapter 4, ‘How does microdosing work?’.
No quick fixMicrodosing is a process that takes place over a longer period. It requires time, and patience with yourself.
What Maria Johanna discusses in the video:
Microdosing with a psychedelic changes something in your brain. New connections are formed, which over time can lead to the development of new behaviors and beliefs. The so-called default mode network also becomes calmer, creating space for creativity, focus, and concentration.
Video in English. Research into microdosing is still in its early stages; experiences vary from person to person.

What readers say
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly will I learn, and is it also suitable for beginners?
You will learn what microdosing is, how it works, which plants and substances are available, and how they differ from one another. The book also addresses fears and misconceptions and concludes with a chapter on getting started. No prior experience is necessary: the book starts with the basics.
Already have experience? Then the book can still be a valuable way to deepen your knowledge and discover new plants for microdosing. In any case, all tinctures sold by House of Oneness are described.
Which substances are covered, and does it also include substances that you don't get addicted to?
Yes. The book distinguishes between three groups:
- Psychedelics: including truffles, mushrooms, ayahuasca, LSD and San Pedro.
- Non-psychedelic plants: including Blue Lotus, Caapi B., ceremonial cacao, Bobinsana, Marosa and rapé.
- Medicinal mushrooms: reishi, lion’s mane, chaga, cordyceps and turkey tail.
What is and is not legal varies by substance and by country.
Can I start this myself, with dosages and schedules?
The last chapter guides you step by step: how to choose a product, how long a cycle lasts, how to start gradually, and how to determine your dose.
You will find several schedules, such as every other day, two days on and two days off, and one day on and two days off. You will also read how to set an intention and how to keep track of what you notice. The right amount depends on the product: therefore, always follow the instructions on the packaging or in the e-book of your product. The book is not medical advice.
Is it safe if I use medication?
That depends on your medication and the substance, so only your doctor or pharmacist can assess that. Maria Johanna writes in the book that psychedelics cannot be combined with antidepressants, and that you should not use them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Are you taking medication, do you have a medical condition, or are you pregnant? Then always consult your doctor or pharmacist first. Never stop taking prescribed medication on your own initiative.
Why this book, and not just a few articles online?
Online you will find scattered and often contradictory information. This book brings everything together: the different substances side by side, the background of the tradition, personal stories, and a practical chapter to help you get started yourself. Maria Johanna writes from over thirteen years of experience with plants and consciousness, and is honest about the fears and prejudices that come with it.
How thick is this book?
Paperback, 14 × 21.5 cm, 11 chapters in three parts, published by Kosmos. It is a very quick and easy read.
