Once an underground practice, microdosing — taking small amounts, or “micro” doses, of psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin — has gone mainstream in recent years. Buy Microdose Mushrooms offers a variety of benefits, from improved creativity to reduced depression symptoms. But despite its popularity, research into microdosing is scarce. Most of the serotonergic drugs used for this purpose are illegal in many countries, making it difficult to study long-term effects.

When it comes to psilocybin, a compound that occurs naturally in mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus, scientists know little more than what its users report on social media and other forums. The latest study to explore the phenomenon was published Friday in the journal JAMA Health Forum. Its authors tracked internet search history (a proxy for public interest) to see how interest in the subject had changed over time, and found that searches for “microdosing” began to outpace those for LSD as of 2015.

The researchers asked participants to rate their frequency of experience with various psychological states on a one-to-five scale based on their feelings of connectedness, contemplation, creativity, focus, happiness, productivity, and wellbeing. They also asked whether they expected these states to increase, stay the same, or decrease over six weeks of regular microdosing. Expectations generally matched reality: Depression, anxiety, stress, and mind wandering all decreased, while quality of life, mindfulness, mysticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness increased. This pattern was replicated in a second, similar study that looked at the impact of psilocybin alone, and in a third, which looked at LSD alone.
