Resources What to expect
What a small dose feels like
What each tier usually feels like, why setting and intention matter, and the research to read.
At Micro
Sub-perceptual. Little or nothing you would notice. Made for a normal workday.
Many people notice nothing they could point to. That is the design, not a fault.
At Mini
Light and noticeable. A workday if you know yourself; better for a walk, a workout, time outside.
You will usually know you have taken something. Plan a day with some room in it.
At Mega
Noticeable. Still a microdose, but you will feel it. Not for a workday: for a day with nothing on the schedule, such as reflection, time outdoors, or an evening in place of a drink.
Keep the whole day clear, and stay somewhere familiar.
Timing
Check the timing printed on your pack before your first dose. Plan the day around the longest figure, not the shortest.
Do not drive or operate machinery on a dose day, at any tier.
Before the dose, the setting
Decide where you will be, how long you have, and what you hope to pay attention to. Write your intention down in one sentence before you begin.
Researchers who study larger amounts count preparation, a safe physical setting and trusted support as basic safeguards1. We think the same habits suit a small dose.
In a 2025 global survey, people most often spent their dose time in nature (59%), turning inward (57%) or on leisure (43%)2.
The research to read
The research on small doses is young, and the best-controlled studies are small. We make no promise about outcomes, and you should be wary of anyone who does. These are the studies we would start with.
If a day does not feel right
Stop for the day. Sit somewhere quiet and familiar, drink some water, and do not take anything else to change how you feel.
Next time, go back to a lower tier or take a break. If you feel unwell or unsafe, get help, and call 911 in an emergency.
