'''Microdosing''' (~~a shortened form of~~ '''psychedelic microdosing''') is the practice of using sub-threshold doses of a psychedelic substance in an attempt to produce a therapeutic or [[nootropic]] effect.

'''Microdosing''' (also known as '''psychedelic microdosing''') is the practice of using sub-threshold doses of a psychedelic substance in an attempt to produce a therapeutic or [[nootropic]] effect. Microdosing has been claimed by some to have a wide range of benefits including enhancing productivity, treating symptoms of psychological disorders such as clinical depression and adult ADD/ADHD, boosting creativity and problem-solving abilities, as well as increase spiritual awareness. However, there is currently no clinical evidence to support these claims.

While the practice has its origins with [[LSD]], it is in theory possible to microdose with any [[psychedelic]] substance. There are a growing body of reports of microdosing [[psilocybin mushrooms]], or psychedelic [[research chemicals]], particularly [[LSD]] analogs such as [[ALD-52]], [[1P-LSD]], [[AL-LAD]] and [[ETH-LAD]].

Microdoses range from about one tenth of an active dose. A microdose of LSD is generally considered to be between 5-15 micrograms. This can be measured accurately using [[volumetric dosing]] techniques. A microdose of psilocybin mushrooms is harder to determine due to the variations in potency between species and batches; it is generally advised to start with no more than .25g.
