microdoses
Minuscule therapeutic portions
Microdoses are very small amounts of a substance, especially a psychedelic drug like LSD or psilocybin, taken to achieve subtle effects without a full trip.
The practice aims at enhanced creativity, focus, or mood: She microdoses mushrooms every few days.
The verb microdose describes taking such amounts.
Outside drug contexts, microdose applies to any minimal quantity: microdoses of optimism.
