Course Description

Dr. Zelfand takes a deep-dive into the latest research on microdosing to summarize what we know - and what we don’t - about the effects of taking sub-perceptual doses of LSD and psilocybin. Featuring real cases from Dr. Zelfand’s practice, this class explains various dosage protocols, reviews the literature available, and summarizes general trends. The proposed mechanisms of action of microdosing are explained, along with safety considerations and drug-drug interactions.
