microdosed
Took minimal amounts
Microdosed is the past tense of microdose—taking a very small amount of a substance, especially a psychedelic drug like LSD or psilocybin, typically one-tenth to one-twentieth of a recreational dose.
The practice aims to enhance creativity, focus, or mood without producing a full hallucinogenic experience: She microdosed mushrooms throughout the workweek.
The term extends loosely to any minimal exposure: I microdosed the news to stay sane.
