'''Volumetric dosing''' is the process of dissolving a compound in a liquid to make it easier to measure. In the interest of harm reduction, it is ~~essential~~ to ~~prepare~~ certain compounds which are too potent to measure with traditional weighing scales ~~within a liquid solution~~. This technique makes it possible to use a cheap $30 scale and still measure accurately to only a few milligrams.<ref>Liquid Measurement Technique by Zam (Erowid) | https://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/dose/dose_info1.shtml</ref>

Many psychoactive substances, including [[benzodiazepines]] and certain [[psychedelics]], are active at less than a single milligram. Such small quantities cannot be accurately measured with common digital scales, so the drug must instead be dosed volumetrically by weighing out larger amounts the compound and dissolving it in a calculated volume of a suitable liquid.
