macrodose

Large therapeutic amount

A macrodose is a full, typically substantial dose of a psychedelic substance—contrasted with a microdose, which is too small to produce perceptible effects.

A macrodose is intended to induce a complete psychedelic experience: She took a macrodose of psilocybin for the ceremony.

The term emerged as microdosing became popular, creating the need to distinguish full-strength doses.
