      Traditionally the drug is sold to you on perforated paper, which you plop in your mouth for a while before discarding. It comes in “sheets” of a 100 doses, “strips” of ten, and “tabs” of one single dose. You can pretty easily cut a tab in half with scissors to take a half dose if desired.

      The actual amount per tab depends on the person who made it and the conditions it has been in since. The “standard” is 100 micrograms, in practice you could see anything from like 50-120.

      “Recommend” is a strong word, as much as people love it it’s irresponsible to “recommend”. But usually if you get a new strip (or if it’s literally your first time) it’s wise to try half a dose first. Make sure your set and setting are on point at any dose. If you have a great experience and want to try larger doses it’s wise to try gradual increases rather than take huge jumps. Lots of people decide that first half tab is absolutely perfect and never feel the need to go higher
