The Microdosers' Journey: What Research Reveals About Sub-Perceptual Psilocybin
An evidence-grounded look at microdosing psilocybin — covering Hughes et al.'s dynamic processual model of how microdosing practice evolves through initiation, active use, integration, and adaptation, and why individual outcomes vary far more than popular accounts suggest.
