Microdosing LSD: What It Is, Why Folks Are Doing It, and How to Do It Safely

Let’s talk about microdosing LSD. It’s a practice that’s becoming more and more common among folks looking for gentle, natural ways to improve mood, focus, and emotional healing—without the trippy, psychedelic effects you might think of when you hear “LSD.”

What is microdosing?

Microdosing means taking a very small amount of a psychedelic substance—usually about 1/10th to 1/20th of a full dose. The goal isn’t to “trip” or feel high. It’s more like giving your brain and body a little whisper of the medicine to support clarity, creativity, and emotional balance.

Why do people microdose LSD?

Some folks report benefits like:

• Feeling more grounded and uplifted

• Better focus and mental clarity

• Increased creativity and flow

• More emotional resilience

• Relief from anxiety or depression

• A deeper sense of connection—with self, nature, or others

LSD can gently open new pathways in the brain and body, which may help folks move through stuck patterns, process emotions, and feel more present.

How do you microdose?

Here’s a basic starting protocol:

• Dose: A microdose of LSD is typically around 5–15 micrograms. (That’s very small—just 5–10% of a full psychedelic dose.)

• Schedule: Many people follow a rhythm like:

• Day 1: Microdose

• Day 2: Rest (no dose)

• Day 3: Rest

• Repeat

This gives your body time to integrate and helps you notice the subtle shifts.

Important Notes:

• Start low and go slow. Everyone’s body is different. It’s wise to begin at the lower end of the range and see how you feel.

• Set and setting matter. Even in microdoses, your mindset and environment can shape your experience. Make space for reflection, quiet time, or gentle connection.

• Track your journey. Journaling or using a microdosing app can help you stay in tune with your body and mind.

• Be mindful of legality. LSD is still illegal in many places, so do your research and make choices that feel aligned with your values and safety.

Final thoughts:

Microdosing isn’t a magic fix—but for many, it’s a beautiful, supportive tool for emotional healing and deeper connection. As with any medicine, the key is intention, respect, and care for your body and your process.
