Yes 100% agree, microdose has a specific meaning in the literature, that it is below active threshold. Please stop overloading this term to mean "I didn't take a very high active dose of a drug". You'll never microdose and have any apparent classical effects. At best you've have a quasi might have/mightn't have effects that can't specifically be pinned to the drug ingestion.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoMy original comment had specifically meant "taking a dose which is barely noticeable" as a first time experience, e.g. 0.5 grams [vs "small"@2g; "heroic"@5g]. >You'll never microdose and have any apparent classical effects. This is incorrect, but probably only on a case-by-case basis (to each, his own).
- bitfilped 3y ago"Taking a dose which is barely noticeable" is not a microdose, it's a low active dose.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoI think we're getting into "undefined semantics" here, so I'll share my own psilocybin dosing [260lb Male, 40]: <0.5g == microdose (you just feel happier, more connected) 0.5-2g == small dose (you definitely notice distortions/connections) 2-4g == normal dose (silliness, connectedness, impactful mental rearrangement) >5g == heroic dosing (you'd better be ready for visuals, tracers, and a few hours of helpful insanity) ---- Personally, I agree that the real therapy begins after your first normal dose; however, I would not start there, nor even with a small dose. Start slow, build up to the revelation. ---- Onwards, through the fog.
