Balanced High | Macrodose Capsules

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is a carefully formulated magic mushroom macrodose supplement designed for both recreational and therapeutic experiences. It combines a potent blend of organic bioactive ingredients to provide uplifting and revitalizing effects while supporting overall brain health.

You can learn more about the origins of this formula in our article, "Scooby Snacks Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know First."

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) contains a unique blend of natural ingredients:

• Organic Psilocybe Cubensis: Promotes neurogenesis and mood enhancement


• Organic Bee Pollen: Nutrient-rich multivitamin supporting energy, metabolism, and mood


• Organic Spearmint Extract: Refreshing stress-reliever that boosts mental focus and memory


• Organic Spirulina Extract: Mood-elevating and nutrient-packed superfood


• Organic Ginkgo Biloba: Improves cognitive function and counteracts stress hormones


• Organic Ginseng: Enhances brain function, memory, and calm focus

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) works by harnessing the synergistic effects of its carefully selected ingredients. The organic Psilocybe Cubensis improves BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factors) levels and interacts with serotonin receptors to elevate mood, enhance memory, and enhance cognitive function, while the other ingredients contribute to improved focus, reduced stress, increased energy balance and metabolism, and overall brain health.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) offers a range of benefits for users seeking an enhanced sensory experience and brain health support. These benefits include:

• Elevated mood and well-being


• Enhanced sensory experiences


• Increased focus and mental clarity


• Reduced stress and anxiety


• Long-term brain health support and neurogenesis

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks), containing a macrodose of psilocybin, may potentially help with depression by positively influencing brain function, promoting emotional well-being, and enhancing the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Psilocybin works by stimulating the 5-HT2A serotonin receptors in the brain, which can lead to improved mood, emotional regulation, and a heightened sense of connection and self-awareness.

Here's how Balanced High might help with depression:

• Increasing BDNF production: Psilocybin has been shown to promote the production of BDNF, a protein that supports the survival, growth, and maintenance of neurons in the brain. Higher levels of BDNF are associated with improved brain function, reduced symptoms of depression, and enhanced cognitive abilities.


• Boosting mood: Psilocybin has been shown to increase the release of serotonin in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in regulating mood and overall emotional state.


• Enhancing neuroplasticity: Psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to create new neural connections and adapt to new information or experiences. This increased neuroplasticity could potentially help individuals overcome negative thought patterns and depressive symptoms.


• Improving emotional processing: Some studies suggest that psilocybin can help individuals process emotions more effectively, allowing them to better understand and work through their feelings.


• Encouraging self-reflection: Psilocybin experiences often lead to introspection and self-exploration, which can help individuals confront the root causes of their depression and develop new coping strategies.

However, it's important to remember that everyone's experience with psilocybin can vary, and its effectiveness in treating depression may depend on individual factors. While some individuals might find relief from depressive symptoms using Balanced High, others may not experience the same benefits.

If you are considering using Balanced High to help with depression, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to assess whether it is suitable for your specific situation and to discuss potential risks and benefits. Additionally, incorporating other therapies, such as psychotherapy or medication, might be necessary for a comprehensive approach to treating depression.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks), containing a macrodose of psilocybin, may potentially help with anxiety by altering brain function, promoting relaxation, and facilitating a sense of connection and self-awareness. Psilocybin interacts with the 5HT2A serotonin receptors in the brain, which can lead to changes in mood, emotional regulation, and perception.

Here's how Balanced High might help with anxiety:

• Modulating mood: Psilocybin has been shown to affect serotonin levels in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood and overall emotional state. By increasing serotonin, psilocybin may help alleviate anxiety symptoms and promote relaxation.


• Enhancing mindfulness and self-awareness: Psilocybin experiences often encourage introspection and self-exploration, which can help individuals better understand the root causes of their anxiety and develop new coping strategies.


• Promoting a sense of connection: Psilocybin can foster feelings of connection to oneself, others, and the world around, which may help alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness that can contribute to anxiety.


• Reducing negative thought patterns: Some studies suggest that psilocybin can help disrupt negative thought patterns and promote more adaptive ways of thinking, potentially helping to reduce anxiety symptoms.


• Encouraging neuroplasticity: Psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to create new neural connections and adapt to new information or experiences. This increased neuroplasticity could help individuals overcome anxiety-related thought patterns and behaviors.



However, it's important to note that everyone's experience with psilocybin can vary, and its effectiveness in treating anxiety may depend on individual factors. While some individuals might find relief from anxiety symptoms using Balanced High, others may not experience the same benefits.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks), containing a macrodose of psilocybin, may potentially help with PTSD by promoting emotional processing, enhancing neuroplasticity, and fostering a sense of connection and self-awareness. However, it's important to note that research on psilocybin's efficacy in treating PTSD is still limited, and individual experiences can vary.

Here's how Balanced High might help with PTSD:

• Emotional processing: Psilocybin has been shown to increase the brain's ability to process emotions, which could potentially help individuals with PTSD work through traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of negative emotional responses associated with them.


• Enhancing neuroplasticity: Psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to create new neural connections and adapt to new information or experiences. This increased neuroplasticity could help individuals overcome PTSD-related thought patterns and behaviors.


• Fostering a sense of connection and self-awareness: Psilocybin experiences often encourage introspection, self-exploration, and feelings of connectedness to oneself, others, and the world around. This sense of connection may help alleviate feelings of isolation and emotional distress that can contribute to PTSD symptoms.


• Reducing negative thought patterns: Some studies suggest that psilocybin can help disrupt negative thought patterns and promote more adaptive ways of thinking, which may potentially help reduce PTSD symptoms.

While there is potential for Balanced High to help with PTSD, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to assess whether it is appropriate for your specific situation and to discuss potential risks and benefits. Additionally, incorporating other therapies, such as psychotherapy or medication, might be necessary for a comprehensive approach to treating PTSD. It's important to remember that the effectiveness of Balanced High in treating PTSD can vary based on individual factors, and not everyone may experience the same benefits.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is made from natural, organic ingredients that are well-tolerated and generally safe to use for most individuals. However, they are also clinically studied to interact with a number of neurological and physiological pathways. As such, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before using any new supplement, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking medications.

You can take Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) as advised by your healthcare provider, as is, or by breaking them open and Lemon Teking their contents. Lemon Teking helps to intensify the trip and reduce the nausea, which you can learn more about in our guide to Lemon Teking.

The quick and dirty:

• 0-0.25g: A microdose; very subtle psychedelic effects; may experience mood enhancement, reduced anxiety, improved mental alertness and improve energy levels.


• 0.25-0.5g: A step up; more pronounced psychedelic effects; may experience altered coordination and motor control, altered vision and mood, increased energy, the giggles, revelatory thoughts, ideas, and pattern recognition.


• 0.5-1g: A psychoactive experience; pronounced and obvious psychedelic effects; may experience altered vision, emotions, and mood, could be a significant alteration of motor control, impaired coordination, super-human-music-making abilities, absurd humour, and a desire to engage oneself in artistic endeavours.


• 1g+: Everything above 1g is a bonafide psychedelic experience. 7g is Terrence Mckenna’s heroic dose. From here on in, anything is possible.

We recommend starting with smaller doses to assess your tolerance and adjust as needed.

The onset of effects varies by individual, but most users report feeling the benefits within 30 minutes to an hour after ingestion. To ensure optimal results, take Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) on an empty stomach or with a light meal.

We recommend reading our guide on How to Prepare for a Magic Mushroom Trip for optimal results.

Before combining Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) with other supplements or medications, consult your healthcare professional to ensure that no interactions may occur. This is particularly important if you are taking medications for mental health conditions, as interactions could affect the effectiveness of your medications. However, clinical trials indicate that psilocybin may be as or more effective than conventional medications at treating mental health conditions for the long-term, without the need for daily or consistent dosing. We recommend you discuss your options with a healthcare professional, particularly one that has received training with psychedelics or is well-versed on their effects.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is specifically formulated as a macrodose supplement to provide a more pronounced experience, though many of our customers do report using it for their microdosing regimen.

Alternatively, consider using one of our microdose Stacks, which are specifically designed for a fine-tuned microdosing experience. They are available in 3 blends: Brain Stack, Energy Stack, and Vitality Stack.

If you are using Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) to macrodose, it's important to wait at least 1 week between magic mushroom macrodoses to avoid building a tolerance. If you are microdosing, stop microdosing at least 1 week before you intend on macrodosing, and wait at least one more week after your macrodose before microdosing again.

If you are microdosing with Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks), we recommend following a microdosing protocol. We cover 7 different protocols in this article here.

Other than that, the frequency of use depends on your goals and preferences. Always follow the recommended dosage guidelines and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. You may prefer occasional use for special events or experiences, or you may choose to incorporate Balanced High more regularly into your routine for therapeutic purposes. It's essential to listen to your body and adjust usage patterns accordingly.

Regular use of psychedelics, including Balanced High, can lead to a development of tolerance. It is recommended to space out usage and follow recommended dosage guidelines to avoid building a tolerance.

It's important to wait at least 1 week between magic mushroom macrodoses to avoid building a tolerance. If you are microdosing, stop microdosing at least 1 week before you intend on macrodosing, and wait at least one more week after your macrodose before microdosing again.

When considering taking Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) while on antidepressants, it's essential to understand the potential risks and benefits. Serotonin Syndrome (SS) is a concern when combining drugs that increase serotonin levels, such as SSRIs and psilocybin. However, Kelan Thomas, Associate Professor at Touro University California College of Pharmacy, says that the risk of SS with psilocybin is low due to its psychedelic partial agonist properties at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.

Dr. Erica Zelfand, a licensed family doctor and psychedelic facilitator, has worked with patients taking psilocybin while on antidepressants. She believes there isn't enough scientific evidence to support asking patients to discontinue their antidepressants before using psilocybin. She notes that "severe cases of serotonin toxicity with psilocybin are rare."

A recent study showed that SSRIs combined with psilocybin are safe, and SSRIs may even have a protective effect against negative drug effects like anxiety, nausea, headache, and fatigue. The study concluded that "stopping escitalopram treatment before psilocybin administration may not be warranted."

Some people on SSRIs report reduced effects of psilocybin. Dr. Zelfand found that people using SSRIs long-term might need 30-50% higher doses of psilocybin. However, Dr. Matthias Liechti, the Principal Investigator of the escitalopram study, did not see an impact on psilocybin's effects in the group taking the SSRI.

It's important to remember that experiences can vary among individuals. If you're considering taking Balanced High while on antidepressants, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

The best way to store magic mushrooms is to keep them in an air-tight container that minimizes their exposure to oxygen, heat, UV light, and bacterial or fungal spores. That's why we use amber glass jars, which we cover in more detail below.

Most experts recommend the jar and cupboard method over common practices like storing mushrooms in the freezer. This method can preserve dried mushrooms for at least a year if you store them in a dark, dry, cool place, like a cupboard.

We use amber containers for a few reasons:

• Glass comes from nature: Glass is made from naturally occurring ingredients abundant in nature. The transformation of these ingredients results in one sole material. No other material or chemical layers are needed to complete it.


• They protect light-sensitive products: One of the main benefits of using amber glass is that it provides the best protection against UV light, blue light, and other light wavelengths under the 450-nanometer range. UV rays can cause what is known as photooxidation, which reduces the efficacy of the ingredients by breaking them down.


• They provide a safer interaction: This means that there won’t be any chemical interactions between the glass and product inside, unlike plastic which is latent with chemicals that break down fairly easily and interact with the stored product.


• They are recyclable and can be reused: Not only is glass a safe packaging for food, it is also environmentally sustainable! Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity. Glass recycling is a closed loop system, creating no additional waste or by-products.

Yes—but with care and preparation. Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is formulated as a macrodose supplement, which means its effects will likely be noticeable, immersive, and potentially transformational. If you’re new to psychedelics, it’s essential to start with a low dose (0.25–0.5g) and create a supportive environment for your experience.

Here’s how to approach it as a first-timer:

• Start low: Begin with a threshold dose (~0.25g) to understand how your body and mind respond.


• Set and setting: Choose a calm, familiar environment with minimal stressors. Your mental state (“set”) and physical environment (“setting”) can significantly influence your experience.


• Have a trusted sitter: If you’re taking 0.5g or more, consider having a sober, grounded friend present to support you.


• Intention matters: Reflect on why you’re taking it. Whether for emotional insight, spiritual exploration, or creative work, clarifying your intention helps guide the experience.


• Avoid combining with alcohol or recreational drugs.

First-timers often report heightened sensory awareness, introspective thoughts, and emotional openness. These effects can be enlightening or overwhelming depending on your preparation and mindset. For deeper insights, read our guide "How to Prepare for A Psilocybin Mushroom Trip."

Absolutely. Many of our customers find Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) a powerful tool for creative breakthroughs and lateral thinking. The combination of psilocybin and nootropic botanicals (like ginseng and gingko) may promote:

• Divergent thinking: Generating original ideas and associations


• Pattern recognition: Seeing connections between unrelated concepts


• Flow states: A balance of energy, focus, and immersion in creative work


• Emotional resonance: Deeper connection to music, storytelling, or visual arts

If using Balanced High for creative work:

• Choose a sub-perceptual to low-psychedelic dose (0.25–0.5g).


• Set up your creative tools beforehand (journal, canvas, instruments, etc.).


• Avoid overstimulation (loud environments, excessive screen time).


• Reflect after the session—many ideas feel revelatory in the moment but benefit from sober integration.

It depends on the dose. At macrodose levels (1g+), you may experience:

• Visual distortions: Breathing walls, color trails, geometric patterns


• Auditory shifts: Enhanced appreciation of music, slight echoing


• Altered perception of time and self


• Deep emotional states or euphoria

These are not “hallucinations” in the clinical sense but rather enhancements or shifts in perception. At lower doses (0.25–0.3g), these effects are typically mild or absent.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is designed to be euphoric and enriching, not overwhelming. Start low and build familiarity over time.

Preparation can make the difference between a therapeutic journey and a disorienting one. Here are some best practices:

• Choose the right day. Avoid taking it during emotionally volatile periods or on days with high obligations.


• Eat light. A small, healthy meal 2–3 hours prior can prevent nausea.


• Create your space. Dim lighting, music, cozy blankets, art supplies—whatever helps you feel safe and inspired.


• Set your intention. Write it down. What do you hope to explore or release?


• Remove stressors. Turn off notifications, inform roommates, and avoid scheduling anything immediately after.


• Have integration time planned. Journaling or gentle movement post-trip helps solidify the experience into long-term insight.

No. Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is a psychoactive macrodose supplement. It can significantly impair your coordination, judgment, and motor skills.

You should never operate a vehicle, bike, heavy machinery, or perform tasks requiring concentration or precision under the influence of psilocybin.

We recommend taking Balanced High only when:

• You have no work or driving responsibilities for the rest of the day


• You can relax and recover without time pressure
• You have a comfortable place to come down and integrate the experience

Even with lower doses, residual effects can linger for 4–6 hours. Allow yourself space to rest.

To maintain potency and freshness, store your Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) capsules in a cool, dry, dark place, ideally in the original container.

Best practices:

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and humidity, which can degrade psilocybin.


• Do not refrigerate or freeze unless vacuum-sealed and instructed.


• Keep tightly sealed and out of reach of children or pets.


• Store in a discreet, labeled container for safety.

When stored properly, Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) psilocybin capsules can retain their potency for 12–18 months or more.

While every experience is unique, common feelings include:

• Euphoria and laughter


• Enhanced connection to music, nature, or loved ones


• Heightened sensory perception (colors, textures, sounds)


• Deep insight into personal patterns or emotional blocks


• Creative or spiritual breakthroughs


• A sense of peace, awe, or oneness

You may also experience moments of emotional release or introspection. The journey may oscillate between calm, vivid, reflective, and joyful.

Yes. While it's often used recreationally, Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) can support inner work when used with intention.

Macrodosing can surface:

• Repressed memories or unresolved emotions


• Patterns of thought or behavior needing review


• Insights into relationships, purpose, or past events

To use it for integration:

• Journal before and after the experience


• Use breathwork or gentle movement to regulate emotion


• Have a support system or integration coach available


• Avoid distractions (social media, phone, TV) during and after

This is one of the reasons therapists and researchers are exploring psilocybin for long-term psychological healing.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) and Extended Release (AKA Increased TUC) are both macrodose psilocybin supplements, but they’re designed for very different types of experiences.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is a short but high-energy journey best suited for sociable, energetic, or creative settings. It contains 250mg of Golden Teacher psilocybin along with functional ingredients like bee pollen, ginseng, gingko, spearmint, and spirulina. You can expect it to kick in within 45 to 60 minutes, with effects that typically last around 3 to 5 hours. The experience tends to be more euphoric, stimulating, and expressive—ideal for dancing, laughing, connecting with others, or diving into art and music.

Extended Release also contains 250mg of Golden Teacher but is formulated to come on more gradually and last longer—usually 4 to 6 hours. It includes ingredients like organic cacao, cacao, matcha, milk thistle, ascorbic acid to support a smoother onset and a longer-lasting journey. This makes it better for solo journeys, inner exploration, and therapeutic settings where you want a steadier, more grounded experience without a sharp peak.

In short: Balanced High delivers a quicker, more energized lift, while Extended Release offers a slower build and longer duration—perfect for when you want to go further inward.

A Scooby Snacks microdose typically refers to a sub-perceptual amount of psilocybin—often no greater than 300mg—taken to support focus, mood, or energy without psychedelic effects. In contrast, a macrodose is intended to produce noticeable changes in perception, mood, and cognition. Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is a macrodose supplement, delivering 250mg of dried Golden Teacher psilocybin mushrooms alongside functional botanicals. However, many My Supply Co. customers use it to microdose, as well. It depends on your personal experience and chemistry.

If you're looking for a more immersive experience, Scooby Snacks mushrooms in macrodose form (like Balanced High) are ideal. For daily support with little to no perceptual shifts, try a low dose of Balanced High, or explore our psilocybin mushroom microdosing capsules instead.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) contains more than just Golden Teacher magic mushrooms. Each capsule includes a curated blend of functional ingredients like:

• Bee pollen for brain and metabolic support


• Ginseng for energy and stamina


• Gingko biloba for mental clarity


• Spirulina for mood


• Spearmint for digestion and taste
