What Is Microdosing?

Microdosing is the practice of consuming very small amounts of a psychedelic substance to improve mental aspects like creativity, calmness, mood, focus or motivation. Psychedelics include LSD, cannabis, mescaline, iboga, and the psilocybin found in magic mushrooms or magic truffles 

Microdosing is a very different experience to tripping or getting high, because it involves taking such a low dose of the psychedelic in question that the effect on you, mentally and physically, is very subtle and unlikely to disrupt your day at all. The aim of microdosing is simply to make your day a little bit better – and sometimes a lot more productive.Microdosing is a relatively recent phenomenon involving taking very small doses of some psychedelics.Importantly, this is a very small dose of the psychedelic that is not enough to produce a “trip” or the hallucinations often associated with these psychedelics .

The intention of microdosing also differs from that of normal psychedelic or hallucinogenic substance taking. Many people use psychedelics at higher doses for self-exploration, recreation, or spiritual purposes. On the other hand, microdosers tend to take these doses to improve their well-being or enhance their emotional or mental state.

At these low levels, many people do not notice the effects in the same as a person would notice a psychedelic trip. Many say that the feeling has no relation to a psychedelic experience.

Proponents of microdosing claim that taking these psychedelics in small, measured doses benefits the mind, making them think more clearly or feel more open throughout the day.

Micro-dose: 0.15–0.3g
