Microdosing as a Catalyst for Change

Microdosing is a sub-intoxicating dose of psychedelics that can open up channels for change. It helps to elongate the afterglow of psychedelic experiences, making it easier to integrate new behavioral changes. Microdosing is not a magic pill, but a catalyst for neuroplasticity.
