Description
Effects differ markedly depending on dosage.
A microdose, for example, will enhance mood, make you feel more emotionally stable, empathetic and mentally lucid, making meditation easier and boosting productivity. Creative and connected thinking improve, but the mind becomes more clear, present and peaceful.
Other commonly reported benefits of microdosing are : improved mood and outlook, creativity, improved energy and focus, symptom reduction and many, many others.
Microdosing psychedelics is the practice of consuming very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance.
The term “Micro-dose” was coined in 2011 by Dr James Fadiman in the release of his book The Psychedelic Explorers Guide (which we highly recommend to anyone with interest in psychedelics). He Defined it as approximately 1/10th of a hallucinogenic dose (between 100mg and 250mg for Psilocybin Mushrooms)(between 7-15ug for LSD) and after years of self-funded research developed “The Fadiman Protocol” – A 1 day on 2 day off microdose protocol that is widely used.
Fadiman’s research also suggested that dosing below the threshold of intoxication has the potential for nootropic benefits similar to those of a Macro-dose. Taking minuscule amounts of Psilocybin may improve both convergent and divergent thinking, resulting in improved cognitive function, flexibility, creativity, and problem solving.
Studies at the University of Bergen found that the respondents reported mostly positive effects after Micro-dosing, including improved mood, cognition, and creativity. Furthermore, these effects often served to counteract symptoms especially from conditions of anxiety and depression. While the preliminary results of studies already conducted are promising for the safety and efficacy of Micro-dosing in both improving general well-being and the treatment of many psychological conditions, wider trials with larger sample sizes are needed to completely understand the benefits and risks of Micro-dosing.
