Research on microdosing, including its effects and risks, is being explored, with some studies focusing on substances like MDMA and psilocybin. The prevalence of microdosing various substances, including cannabis and psychedelics, is being studied, with findings suggesting that cannabis may be more commonly used for microdosing than psychedelics in the US. The therapeutic potential of microdosing, such as for mental health or pain treatment, is also being investigated, although more precise definitions and regulations may be needed.
