Microdosing vs. Macrodosing
Two paths. One deeper connection to self.
What Is Microdosing?
Subtle Shifts Over Time
Microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual amounts of a psychedelic—often between 0.05g to 0.3g of psilocybin.
It doesn’t alter your reality. It supports how you show up inside it.
Microdosing is often used for:
Easing symptoms of anxiety or depression
Gaining clarity and focus without overstimulation
Enhancing creativity and flow
Supporting emotional regulation and stress resilience
Building consistency in healing habits
It’s about slow, sustained change—not sudden breakthroughs.
What Is Macrodosing?
A Deep Dive Inward
A macrodose (often 1g–3.5g+ of psilocybin) produces a full psychedelic experience. It can dissolve the ego, unlock trauma, open spiritual insight—or simply reset perspective.
Macrodosing is often used for:
Processing grief or trauma
Spiritual connection or purpose
Breaking destructive patterns
Powerful therapeutic breakthroughs
It’s best done with preparation, intention, and aftercare.
Micro or Macro—Or Both?
Different Tools, Different Timing
These approaches aren’t either/or—they’re complementary.
Think of it like this:
Microdosing helps create new habits, thoughts, and emotional stability
Macrodosing can reveal the root systems underneath your patterns
Many people use microdosing before or after a macrodose to integrate the experience, reduce resistance, and ground the insights.
Emotional Readiness
How to Know What You’re Ready For
If you’re new to psychedelics, microdosing is often a safe and supported place to begin. Macrodosing requires more emotional readiness—time, trust, and the capacity to process deeper material. There’s no rush. And no pressure.
You don’t need to figure it all out alone.
