Psychedelic Microdosing

Course overview

Psychedelic microdosing has become more popular for the treatment of mood disorders and traumatic experiences to support a more peaceful state and healing. Advocates and enthusiasts of psychedelic drug use in combination with therapy posit that microdosing is effective, although the evidence for safety and risk continues to be studied. Psychedelic drugs have different structures, but their mechanisms of action are typically similar. Psychedelic drug use differs between individuals, although cognitive and perceptual effects are generally experienced. The classic psychedelics include dimethyltryptamine (DMT), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, and peyote, which can cause vivid hallucinations. LSD and psilocybin are the most common drugs used for microdosing, but other psychedelics and non-psychedelic drugs can also be microdosed.
