Microdosing Psychedelics Is Trendy, But Does It Work? Here’s What Science Says
In a study published in Psychopharmacology, 44% of survey respondents reported that microdosing psychedelics significantly improved their mental health, with 50% reporting that they were able to stop taking antidepressants completely. In a separate study, microdosers were significantly less likely to report a history of substance use or anxiety disorders, with an average dose of 0.3 grams of psilocybin or 13 micrograms of LSD taken every three days. In the 2019 Global Drug Survey, microdosers often reported “enhanced mood, creativity, focus, and sociability”, with the most common reported challenge of microdosing being “none”.
