Psilocybin & our path with microdosing

At Hemp Vegan we don’t treat mushrooms as a trend — we live them. Beyond functional species like Reishi or Lion’s Mane, our founders have personally explored psilocybin microdosing protocols, carefully documented and evaluated. This is part of our commitment to understanding the real spectrum of what fungi can do for mental health, creativity, and resilience.

Responsible exploration

We test our own microdoses in controlled and reflective contexts — not as a product, but as lived research. Our aim is to generate knowledge and frameworks that may one day inform safe, regulated access in Europe and Brazil.

Collaboration in Germany

We are actively seeking scientific and institutional support in Germany, where psilocybin research is gaining momentum. Partnerships there can help us align our practices with European clinical standards and contribute to the broader psychedelic science movement.
