Microdosing is the practice of consuming very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or psilocybin-containing mushrooms, for the purpose of self improvement or personal growth. Microdosing has benefits for those seeking to enhance focus, creativity, mental health, and general wellbeing.
The Microdosing Movement has arisen as a response to rising global levels of stress and anxiety, and within the greater backdrop of the Psychedelic Renaissance, a way of scientific, cultural, and policy changes surrounding psychedelic medicine.
Microdosing has very rare adverse effects and provides an opportunity for those who are mushroom-curious to explore psychedelic medicine in an accessible way.
