MicroDose IQ is an educational and journalistic platform covering psilocybin and psychedelic mushrooms. It provides general information about strain characteristics, clinical research, harm reduction practices, and the evolving legal landscape in the United States.

2. What this Platform is NOT

  • It is not medical, legal, psychiatric, or therapeutic advice.

3. Adult use only

You must be at least 21 years old to use this Platform.

4. Legal status of psilocybin

Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance under United States federal law. Some states and cities have decriminalized possession, reduced enforcement priorities, or created regulated therapeutic programs. The legal status varies by jurisdiction and changes over time. You are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws that apply to you. Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to break any law.
