The accepted definition of substance misuse is the use of prescription, illegal drugs, or over-the-counter drugs or alcohol in excessive amounts or for other purposes than originally intended. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) states that substance misuse in terms of hallucinogenics is “A problematic pattern of hallucinogen (other than Phencyclidine) use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress as manifested by two of the following, occurring within a 12-month period.” By this definition, microdosing is not substance misuse.
