GuidesDavid Blackbourne looks at the anecdotal and scientific evidence for microdosing, and provides a guide on how to best structure your microdosing routine.Ever since the publication of a '2011 book, The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide' [1], the controversial practice of 'microdosing' has rocketed into the public consciousness. Online communities have appeared on sites and forums, such as Reddit, where people share their experiences and methods with almost universally positive results. In a Wired article from 2016 they document the rapid increase in the subscriber base of r/microdosing (the most well-known microdosing community on Reddit), 'from just 1,600 at the start of 2015 to almost 7,500 in mid-June 2016'. To truly illustrate the sheer scale of this massive increase in popularity and public awareness in the last several years, I checked subscriber count today. r/microdosing has now truly ballooned in size, with more than 170,000 members [update 2024: 2.5 years later, the number has risen to 270,000] and counting. Microdosing, then, is indeed on the brink of hitting the mainstream.
