Microdose
Microdosing is the practice of using extremely small amounts of a psychedelic drug or entheogenic plant to realize positive effects, including, but not limited to: increased physical energy and performance, improved stamina, emotional balance, and treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PMS.
The idea of a “micro” dose is borrowed from the pharmaceutical industry’s “minimum effective dose” principle. This means consuming the lowest possible amount of a substance to produce desired positive effects without triggering any negative side effects.
While a full dose is between two and three grams, a microdose of psilocybin is between one-tenth and one-third of single gram.
