What is Microdosing?
Microdosing involves regularly consuming a minute amount of a psychedelic substance, typically 5–10% of a standard dose, aiming to enhance one's quality of life.
Unlike typical psychedelics, microdosing doesn't induce strong visual distortions; instead, users report subtle, sub-hallucinogenic effects. Successful microdosing often follows a specific dosing schedule and is most effective when practiced over a prolonged period. The outcomes vary based on individual factors like mindset, intention, substance, dosage, and personal physiology.
Microdosing could be likened to tuning in to the radio daily, where subtle nuances become audible, while a macro dose is akin to attending a concert where the full spectrum of sound overwhelms the senses. Psychedelics, derived from the Greek word meaning "that which makes the mind visible," fascinated psychologists and psychiatrists in the mid-20th century. LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline were believed to unveil subconscious realms, allowing individuals to confront repressed emotions and memories. Despite inducing profound trips at high doses, these substances are non-addictive and, particularly in microdoses, pose minimal risks to the well-being of healthy individuals.

How does it work?
Understanding the intricate mechanisms of psychedelics, especially microdosing, remains a focal point of ongoing scientific inquiry. While skeptics dismiss microdosing as mere placebo, a wealth of firsthand accounts attests to its potential for holistic betterment. Dr. James Fadiman, an esteemed American transpersonal psychologist, has diligently curated microdosing narratives since 2010, illuminating its transformative effects. Aptly dubbed "The Father of Microdosing," his pioneering work lays the groundwork for rigorous exploration into this realm.
Our current understanding indicates that psychedelic substances influence the serotonin (5-HT) receptors within our brain. These receptors are distributed throughout our nervous system and regulate various aspects of our physiology, encompassing mood, cognition, and gastrointestinal function. Psychedelics exhibit strong affinity for the 5HT-2A receptor, which plays a pivotal role in learning, memory, and cognitive processes. Consequently, by consuming only a microdose of a psychedelic substance, thereby bypassing the traditional psychedelic experience, it is theorized that the brain can concentrate exclusively on the cognitive enhancement induced by these receptors.
When should you avoid microdosing?
If you're below 18 years old
When mixed with alcohol or other substances
During pregnancy or breastfeeding (contact your local doula and medic)
If you're taking certain medications like lithium carbonate or Tramadol
If there's a family history of psychosis
During emotionally turbulent times like grief
Men with color vision deficiencies
Individuals experiencing paranoia or suspicion
Furthermore, while some people with generalized or social anxiety have reported benefits from microdosing, it can exacerbate anxiety for others. It's recommended to approach with caution and under the guidance of a therapist knowledgeable in psychedelics.
It's important to note that the complete range of risks associated with microdosing alongside mental or physical conditions is still not fully understood.
