That's where microdosing comes in. A recreational dose of psilocybin is 1-3.5g, with 1 being such a gentle psychedelic experience that it's just feeling curious and introspective while visual details like light shimmering on tree leaves stands out more. A microdose is 0.1-0.4g. Zero visuals, but your vision is sharper and you have a better eye for patterns. Zero loss of control or cognitive impact, but in anxious situations it's like having a single beer. You won't have scattered and trippy thoughts but creative and systemic thinking feels much more natural. A microdose day for me is one where I go on a hike and everything is interesting, engaging, intricate, and easy to deal with. I can perceive the ecological patterns and every flower looks 30% more beautiful, with the motivation to sit down and study/photograph it as if in a low-grade zen state.
There are contraindications for psilocybin certainly- mental illnesses more serious than depression and anxiety especially if there is a psychosis component. Short of that, you wouldn't get any kind of trip from such a low dose. It's just the psychedelic headspace of being in love with an interconnected world and the energy of a pot of coffee.
edit: You also apparently can with DMT but I haven't tried it myself because a recreational dose is in the 0.03-0.05g range and cutting 1/10th of an amount as small as 30mg is hard with my scale.
