> It is very much not the homeopathy of psychedelics. Homeopathic medicine is where you dramatically dilute the medicine to the point where there's no appreciable amount of active medicine in the dose.
That is exactly what microdosing is.
> A microdose of psychedelics [is] enough to feel buzzed
No it isn't. If you've taken enough to feel buzzed then you took too much, according to proponents of microdosing. Here is a quote from a sticky on Reddit's /r/microdosing:
> If you are feeling any changes that remind you even vaguely of tripping/being high, you've taken too much.
- tsomctl 9y agoThen there's several distinct schools of thought on microdosing. Read the link I posted above.
- tree_of_item 9y agoThe image in your link uses the term "sub-perceptual dose". How is that congruent with feeling a "buzz"? A sub-perceptual dose by definition is too weak to feel a buzz. If you could feel a buzz, it would be in your perception.
- tree_of_item 9y agoAlso from the comments on your link: > DevO on October 15, 2017 at 12:31 am > Niels, Micro-dosing is taking amounts too small to be psychoactive, but at the same time the substance still has effects that are beneficial in many different ways for different folks. Here's a quote from from James Fadiman, the person who came up with the whole idea of microdosing in the first place: (at https://sites.google.com/view/microdosingpsychedelics/faq-on-microdosing?authuser=0 https://sites.google.com/view/microdosingpsychedelics/faq-on...) > A dose that feels as if you are right at the edge of a psychedelic experience is too high. As far as I can tell, there is one school of microdosing, and you're not in it. I wish you were right, because the whole idea of "sub-perceptual" doses is obviously bullshit, but I'm not seeing it.
