| __NOTOC__
| | <onlyinclude>The range and intensity of the effects of a substance depends on upon a number of factors. These include [[route of administration]], [[dosage]], [[set and setting]], and personal and environmental factors. |
| Although different substances induce different effects regardless of their appropriate dosage, the intensity of the experience they are likely to induce can be broken down into five separate categories.
| |
|
| |
|
| The effects below should not to be considered as fact and should therefore be used merely as a general guideline. These effects will almost certainly differ between specific compounds and further research must be done beyond this article to determine their individual dosages, [[duration]]s and [[subjective effect index|subjective effects]].
| | Effective doses can be divided into five categories: '''threshold''', '''light''', '''common''', '''strong''', and '''heavy'''.</onlyinclude> |
| === '''Microdose''' ===
| |
| A microdose is a sub-perceptual dose which is so low (such as 10 micrograms of LSD) that it is unlikely to induce directly noticeable or perceptible effects.
| |
|
| |
|
| The panels below demonstrate which effects generally occur at a [[Dosage#Microdose|microdose]] dose for various classes of psychoactive substances.

| ==='''Threshold'''=== | | ===Common=== |
| A threshold dose will cause users to experience the effects of the substance in an extremely light and subtle manner which can potentially go completely unnoticed. It is distinctly just beyond that of placebo effect, but can be ignored with minimal effort when one directs their focus towards the external environment. Users may perceive a vague sense of "something" occurring at this level, but it can be challenging to distinguish it from the placebo effect. Experienced users may be able to more clearly distinguish the "something." | | A common dose is the dose at which the effects and nature of the substance is quite clear and distinct; the subject's ordinary awareness slips and ignoring its action becomes difficult. |
|
| |
|
| The panels below demonstrate which effects generally occur at a [[Dosage#Threshold|threshold]] dose for various classes of psychoactive substances. | | The subject will generally be able to partake in regular behaviors and remain functional and able to communicate, although this can depend on the individual. |

| ===='''Light'''====
| |
| A light dose will cause effects which are noticeable and clearly distinct from sobriety, but remain in the background of the user's perception. The effects remain possible to ignore by increasing the focus one directs towards other things when performing complex tasks. The user may have to pay particular attention to the effects of the drug for them to be recognizable, or they may be slightly noticeable but will not insist upon the user's attention.
| |
|
| |
|
| The panels below demonstrate which effects generally occur at a [[Dosage#Light|light]] dose for various classes of psychoactive substances.
| | Users should also be aware that the line between a heavy dose and overdose is often very blurry and they are placing themselves at a significantly higher risk of injury, hospitalization, and death whenever they choose to take a heavy dose. |

| |
| A strong dose renders its subject as mostly incapable of functioning or interacting normally, or thinking in a sober manner. The effects of the drug are clear, but at this level they are no longer ignorable and the user is engaged entirely in the experience.
| |
| | |
| The panels below demonstrate which effects generally occur at a [[Dosage#Strong|strong]] dose for various classes of psychoactive substances.

| At heavy doses, the user has reached the upper limit of what this compound is capable of producing in terms of perceivable psychoactive effects. Depending on the substance consumed, the user may be rendered incapable of functioning on any basic level, experience extremely uncomfortable side effects, or hit a ceiling dose with diminishing returns.

| ==='''Overdose'''===
| |
| An overdose is a quantity greater than recommended, intended or generally practiced, with the possibility of the dose resulting in death or serious injury. Immediate professional medical advice should always be sought when a user has taken a dose greater than or equal to this, although tolerance may allow experienced users' bodies to survive such doses unharmed. It should be noted that doses below this level may also be harmful in some cases.
