Being at home can lead to a better work-life balance, but it can also increase feelings of anxiety, a lack of focus, or even leave you feeling isolated and depressed.\n\n![Microdosing LSD has become popular](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_04_28_at_5_58_57_PM_f3b4b460af.png)\n\nMicrodosing, or the practice of small quantities of [psychedelic substances, such as cannabis, LSD, or psilocybin](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/microdosing-psychedelics-lsd-psilocybin-and-cannabis), has exploded in popularity over the past few years. From your friendly neighborhood dog walker to leading execs at Silicon Valley giants, the word on the street - microdosing helps cure a myriad of modern-day lifestyle ailments.\n\nToday, there's increasing anecdotal and some research-based data, which does indicate microdosing may increase a sense of well-being, lift anxiety or depression, and even stoke the fire of creativity. Some have even called microdosing a \"productivity hack\".\n\nI can't give specific advice on this topic as that would feel reckless! If you are interested in a how-to guide there are loads of resources online, including Reddit.\n\nBest of luck!\n\nWes J.\n\n---------------------\n\nMicrodosing is the practice of taking tiny doses of a psychotropic or psychedelic substance at \"sub-therapeutic\" levels. Typically, 5 to 10 percent of a standard dose of any drug is considered a microdose. A microdose intends to not have you experience things like visual hallucinations or altered perceptions of reality. \n\n![Microdosing psychedelics](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_04_28_at_5_59_58_PM_829d7f63ed.png)\n\nIdeally, you take a small enough amount to not have a noticeable full-body effect, but enough to create a cellular response. While microdosing, you may often forget that you consumed a substance but may feel calmer, happier, or more focused.\n\nMicrodosing preferences, from which substance to consume, to correct dosage, varies from person to person. Everybody is different, so a microdose for one person may feel like a macrodose for others. As we are all different, successful microdosing requires some trial and error to find what works best, if at all. For many, the experience is extremely positive, and for others, the adverse effects outweigh any positive benefits - microdosing is highly individual.\n\nUri K.\n\n--------------------\n\nSome people classify cannabis as a psychedelic - personally, I do! A [microdose of cannabis](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/microdosing-a-better-way-to-take-cannabis) is typically between 2mg to 5mg of THC, but some consider 10mg a microdose. However, every person reacts differently to cannabis strains, consumption methods, and dosage. This is due to the endocannabinoid system and how THC and CBD bind to receptors within our bodies.\n\n![Microdosing psychedelics](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_04_28_at_6_00_58_PM_517e2470c2.png)\n\nNew clinical research indicates that lower doses of cannabinoids may be more effective at treating specific conditions, such as pain or PTSD. Well- known cannabis physician, Dustin Sulak says, \"When you raise the cannabis dose sometimes you get diminished benefits, and sometimes you get the opposite of what you are looking for...The goal is to use the dose that gives the most minimal noticeable effect.\" So, while a microdose may reduce anxiety, a macrodose of marijuana may actually increase or cause it.\n\nKelly R.\n\n------------------\n\nWe are in the middle of a psychedelics renaissance, and plant-based psilocybin is one of the psychedelics taking center stage. Mainstream research institution, Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research, is leading the charge publishing groundbreaking studies regarding psychedelics and psilocybin in more than 60 peer-reviewed articles within multiple scientific journals.\n\n![Hello5-min (6).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello5_min_6_18167593eb.png)\n\nThe social media platform Reddit is a popular forum for people who microdose, (with 40,000 users subscribing to the /r/microdosing subreddit). People often report microdosing psilocybin so that they might increase creativity, calm anxiety, decrease the need for caffeine, and reduce depression. \n\nMicrodosing LSD, or lysergic acid diethylamide, has become popular with the tech set of Silicon Valley and peppered into West Coast conversations the way people might discuss wine. \n\nAlthough initial research varies on the effectiveness of microdosing, there is some evidence as to why people feel positive effects, especially from psilocybin and LSD. Professor Johannes Ramaekers from Maastricht University collaborated with UK-based Beckley Foundation to investigate the effects of microdosing LSD. He says brain images indicate that \"the crosstalk between these brain networks actually increases. So that seems to indicate that there's a lessening of the boundaries that are put around these networks. That enables more crosstalk and more communication between these networks, which suggests that there's increased flexibility within the brain processing of stimuli and information that comes in.\"\n\nIt's an interesting topic and I think we have only begun to scratch the surface.\n\nMartin B.\n\n----------------\n\n![Hello9-min (1).png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hello9_min_1_3517e7843b.png)\n\n\nIn the era of COVID, microdosing cannabis or psychedelics is a hot topic. Not enough clinical evidence exists, but anecdotal evidence may provide some hope for people looking for relief from anxiety or mild depression. For others, microdosing may simply help give a change of perspective during challenging times. Whether you choose to microdose or not is highly individual and largely based on trial and error. What works for your friend may not work for you.\n\nI'd suggest checking out [Dr. James Fadiman](https://www.jamesfadiman.com/) as he has done a lot of research into this area.\n\nFelicia C.\n\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5037593984962405,"src":"/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/ee604/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.png","srcSet":"/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/69585/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.png 200w,\n/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/497c6/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.png 400w,\n/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/ee604/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.png 800w,\n/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/f3583/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.png 1200w","srcWebp":"/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/58556/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/61e93/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.webp 200w,\n/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/1f5c5/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.webp 400w,\n/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/58556/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.webp 800w,\n/static/4301b0098e198528321f45224a3e1eeb/99238/19cd3c39e0d4eb6bfb64dfa8be8a6d75.webp 1200w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10747-markdown","title":"What is the theory behind microdosing?

She also speaks about her own success with [microdosing to relieve chronic pain](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/microdosing-cannabis-stopped-my-chronic-pain). I, too, have been experimenting with microdosing, specifically with high CBD/low THC tinctures, to help reduce the frequency and intensity of my migraines (which I used to have on a weekly basis, lasting for 2-3 days) -- and I definitely believe that, along with a rehauled diet and fitness regimen, has had a positive effect. I now get migraines only every 4-8 weeks, and they are much less painful than they used to be.\n\nAnne A.","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/ee604/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.png","srcSet":"/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/69585/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.png 200w,\n/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/497c6/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.png 400w,\n/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/ee604/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.png 800w,\n/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/8f331/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.png 820w","srcWebp":"/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/58556/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/61e93/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.webp 200w,\n/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/1f5c5/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.webp 400w,\n/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/58556/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.webp 800w,\n/static/2b734d31d8f307b2fb8f42f9846f98db/b1a18/2e8436cf60c7c2ffb12252cf916b1fa5.webp 820w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8821-markdown","title":"CBD dosing","slug":"cbd-dosing","content":"\"***I am just starting to experiment with CBD.

Microdosing is supposed to give you positive effects without the psychoactive effects you could feel at higher doses. In this sense, I don't know if microdosing w/ CBD applies at all. \n\nFor your tincture...there is no set dose per person. After a quick search of your product online, it looks like 1 drop = 1mg CBD. Keep in mind that you might not feel anything right away. I've interviewed many patients & experts on CBD dosing, and those who see the best results take their CBD tincture every day--think of it as a vitamin. These folks have all said that it takes about 1 month to build up in your system. I'm not a doctor, but if I was trying to figure out a dosing routine for myself, I'd do at least 5mg CBD 2 to 3 times a day for at least 3 days and then reassess. If I didn't notice a difference, I would opt for a different tincture or a higher dose. \n\nDanielle L.","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/ee604/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.png","srcSet":"/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/69585/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.png 200w,\n/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/497c6/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.png 400w,\n/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/ee604/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.png 800w,\n/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/12b05/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.png 836w","srcWebp":"/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/58556/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/61e93/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.webp 200w,\n/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/1f5c5/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.webp 400w,\n/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/58556/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.webp 800w,\n/static/8525059d3e0abd2b158e6ddb4882102a/6c306/d6573ff3b8aa9494e834c3acd5151b23.webp 836w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10049-markdown","title":"article on micro dosing","slug":"article-on-micro-dosing","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9937-markdown","title":"In dispensaries, I feel workers push the high mg products for relief.

Any oral medication can take up to 1 - 1 1/2 hours to feel any effect. Since the dose is small, you usually don't feel the psychoactive \"high\" that you would normally get with smoking or vaping cannabis. It can be a subtle feeling that you might not even recognize until you say \"hey, I've been feeling/thinking/focusing differently since I've been microdosing\"! As for feeling sick, it may have been the chocolate, but I cannot say. Kiva Petra Mints also come in various types that do not have chocolate also.\n\nPerry S.","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/ee604/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.png","srcSet":"/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/69585/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.png 200w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/497c6/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.png 400w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/ee604/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.png 800w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/f3583/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.png 1200w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/108cb/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.png 1415w","srcWebp":"/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/58556/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/61e93/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.webp 200w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/1f5c5/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.webp 400w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/58556/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.webp 800w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/99238/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.webp 1200w,\n/static/9bacc92ab88db4c22a413356b0df7d33/6242a/60dfe530a920af848f1452df12964266.webp 1415w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9657-markdown","title":"What sort of experience is there with prostate cancer and micro dosing?","slug":"what-sort-of-experience-is-there-with-prostate-cancer-and-micro-dosing","content":"\n_____________________\nIf you are asking if there is any evidence that micro dosing can \"cure\" prostate cancer I would have to say no.

We have four formulas available - bliss, sleep, (pain) relief and calm. Our formulas use precise blends of cannabinoids and terpenes, each formula is different ratio of cannabinoids and a unique blend of terpenes. Because we don't rely on strain extracts, our formulas are always consistent.\n\nSecond, our hmbldt dose pen delivers a precise 2.25MG dose each and every time. The hmbldt dose pen is designed exclusively for our formulas.
