Microdosing is the practice of taking very small doses of psychedelic substances, such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms, to enhance one’s well-being, creativity, or mental performance. The doses are usually too low to cause any noticeable hallucinations or intoxication but may have subtle effects on mood, cognition, and perception.

Some people microdose for various reasons, such as to reduce stress, anxiety, or depression, to improve focus, motivation, or problem-solving, to boost energy, socialization, or self-care, or to explore their spirituality or consciousness
