What is Microdosing?

Microdosing is a term for taking small, amounts of psilocybin on a regular basis, usually in the form of a sub-perceptual dose. The intention behind microdosing is to improve one’s quality of life by enhancing certain areas such as creativity and well-being.

This practice does not cause classic psychedelic effects such as visuals; instead, micro-dosers experience more subtle, “sub-hallucinogenic”, effects from the practice. The exact effects and results of this practice depend greatly on the person, the medicine, the dosage, and many other personal factors such as intention, expectations and mindset.

The definition of psychedelic is “that which makes the mind visible”. An important part of the therapeutic potential of psychedelics lies in their ability to create an altered state of consciousness. When people are in a plant medicine induced state and experience a spiritual journey, they come to terms with traumas or repressed emotions, or feel connections with others and the world around them, they often describe this as a healing process. Microdosing is known to have the same benefits.
