The difference between microdosing and macrodosing lies in the amount of psilocybin you intake.

Microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin—between 25-100mg, although that varies depending on your genetics, metabolism, and brain and body chemistry.

Microdoses are typically below the threshold for producing significant psychedelic effects. Microdosing is often done on a regular schedule, with the intention of experiencing subtle cognitive enhancements, improved mood, and increased creativity.

On the other hand, macrodosing involves taking larger amounts of psilocybin that result in more pronounced psychedelic effects—typically 1g or more.

Macrodosing can induce altered states of consciousness, heightened sensory perception, and profound introspection. The effects of macrodosing can last anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on your biology and the specific dosage taken.
