What is microdosing?
Microdosing is a technique in which small amounts of a substance (5 – 10% of a regular dose) are ingested, usually psychedelics such as psilocybin, with the aim of experiencing subtle effects without a full psychoactive trip[1] . The idea behind microdosing is to reap the benefits of these substances, such as increased focus, enhanced creativity and emotional well-being, without the intense hallucinations and disrupted cognitive functions associated with higher doses.
Why is microdosing so popular?
There are several reasons why microdosing has become so popular recently. First, many people have reported that microdosing helps them improve their mental health. There is evidence that microdosing can help reduce anxiety and depression, increase empathy and improve mood and well-being. In addition, many users claim that microdosing improves their cognitive functions. They experience increased concentration, creativity and productivity.
Scientific research on psilocybin microdosing
A study conducted by Imperial College London looked at the effects of microdosing psilocybin, among others[2] . Participants in the study reported an increase in positive emotions, improved focus and increased creativity. Although this study produced promising results, the sample sizes were limited and further validation may be needed.
Another interesting study from the University of Toronto suggested that microdosing psilocybin may have a positive effect on reducing symptoms of depression[3] . Participants reported an increased sense of well-being and improved mood after microdosing.

In doing so, always take into account your own sensitivities and tolerance level.
