<onlyinclude>'''Dosage independent intensity''' can be described as the very inconsistent but not uncommon occurrence of spontaneously traversing to higher levels of the psychedelic experience regardless of the dosage taken.  
<onlyinclude>
'''Dosage independent intensity''' is the particularly rare and inconsistent experience of spontaneously amplified [[psychedelic#subjective effects|psychedelic effects]] which are extremely disproportionate to the [[dosage]] consumed. For example, a user may ingest a [[Dosage#Threshold|threshold]] dosage but spontaneously experience high intensity effects such as moderate to overwhelming [[geometry]], [[visual distortions|distortions]], [[hallucinatory states]], [[Spirituality intensification|spirituality intensification]], and even [[Memory suppression|ego dissolution]].  


For example, a user may ingest a [[Dosage#Threshold|threshold]] dosage but spontaneously experience high intensity effects such as moderate to overwhelming [[geometry]], [[visual distortions|distortions]], [[hallucinatory states]], [[existential self-realization]], [[feelings of eternalism]], [[exposure to inner mechanics of consciousness]], [[spirituality enhancement]] and even [[ego death]].  
This experience can often feel like a defiance of normal pharmacology, it usually takes the user by surprise and most commonly occurs during the [[peak]] of the trip. Individuals who experience this effect often describe it as being very profound and intense due to its unexpected and spontaneous nature. It is also worth noting that this effect seems to primarily happen to users who are already somewhat experienced with the substance being consumed.


This experience can often feel like a complete transgression of normal pharmacology and may even include audible voices explaining to the user why it has seemingly decided to intensify the trip. It often takes the user by surprise and usually occurs during the peak of the trip. Individuals who experience this effect often describe it as being very profound and boundary dissolving partially due to its often unexpected and spontaneous nature.
Dosage independent intensity is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#mild|mild]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[classical psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[ayahuasca]], [[psilocybin]], and [[DMT]]; however, it is also induced under the influence of [[AL-LAD]].
</onlyinclude>


Dosage independent intensity is more common with orally active [[tryptamine]]s such as [[psilocin]], [[ayahuasca]] and [[4-AcO-DMT]] and not typically observed in [[LSD]] or [[mescaline]] experiences or with other common [[psychedelic]]s. However, it is still very rare and usually seems to happen to users who are somewhat experienced with the substance being ingested.</onlyinclude>
