Microdosing refers to the practice of taking very small, sub-perceptual doses of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin, the active compound found in certain mushrooms. Unlike traditional psychedelic experiences that can lead to intense trips, microdosing involves consuming doses that are typically around one-tenth to one-twentieth of a full dose, which means users do not experience significant alterations in their consciousness. The primary goal of microdosing is to harness the potential therapeutic benefits of psychedelics while avoiding the overwhelming effects that can accompany higher doses. This approach is gaining traction among individuals seeking alternative methods to address mental health issues, particularly depression.
