Research Chemicals

Research chemicals are synthetic or semi-synthetic substances studied within analytical, educational and scientific contexts for their molecular structure and chemical properties. Microdosing.shop only offers research chemicals that, to the best of our knowledge at the time of listing, are not explicitly included on national prohibited substances lists.

The Microdosing.shop range covers two main categories: lysergamide analogues such as 1cP-LSD, 1P-LSD and 1V-LSD, and tryptamine analogues such as 4-HO-MET (Methylcybin). Both categories are available in microdose and high dose concentrations. Detailed background information on the chemical properties of these substances is available on the knowledge page of Microdose.nl.

1cP-LSD (1-cyclopropionyl-d-lysergic acid diethylamide) is a semi-synthetic research chemical from the class of lysergamide analogues. The substance does not fall under Dutch drug legislation and is available in drops, blotters and pellets, in both microdose and high dose concentrations.

• 1cP-LSD Microdose – lower concentrations for microdosing research
• High Dose 1cP-LSD Drops (1000mcg) – higher concentrations for analytical research

4-HO-MET (4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine), also known as Methylcybin or metocin, is a synthetic research chemical from the class of tryptamine analogues. In online search behaviour, 4-HO-MET is frequently searched as mushroom drops. This reflects search language only and does not constitute a chemical or substantive equivalence: 4-HO-MET is a fully synthetic substance and is not derived from mushrooms or truffles.

• 4-HO-MET Microdose drops – lower concentrations for microdosing research
• High dose 4-HO-MET – higher concentrations for analytical research

The substances in the Microdosing.shop RC range are currently not listed under the Dutch Opium Act. The legal status of research chemicals varies by country and changes regularly. Microdosing.shop only offers substances that, to the best of our knowledge at the time of listing, are not explicitly included on national prohibited substances lists.

Research chemicals are not shipped to countries where import or possession is not permitted, including Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Northern Ireland, Malta, the Canary Islands and Hungary. Shipping outside the European Union is not possible. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify local laws and regulations before placing an order.

For those looking to explore the broader scientific and educational context around microdosing, the Microdosing Institute offers comprehensive educational programmes and professional guidance. The Microdosing Institute was founded in 2017 and has trained more than 70 certified facilitators worldwide. Microdose.nl is an official partner of the Microdosing Institute.

What is the difference between RC Microdose and RC High Dose?

Both categories contain the same substances but in different concentrations per unit. RC Microdose contains lower concentrations per unit, suitable for research setups studying small quantities. RC High Dose contains higher concentrations per unit, suitable for research setups requiring larger amounts of active substance per unit.

Why can I not order research chemicals via Microdose.nl?

Microdose.nl and Microdosing.shop are two webshops owned by the same company. Due to the payment provider policy of Microdose.nl, research chemicals cannot be sold through that platform. Microdosing.shop uses a payment provider that does permit RC transactions. Please note: both shops have their own shopping cart and account, and orders cannot be combined.

Are research chemicals legal in the Netherlands?

The substances in the Microdosing.shop RC range, including 1cP-LSD, 1V-LSD and 4-HO-MET, are currently not listed under the Dutch Opium Act. The legal status of research chemicals differs per country and changes regularly. Verifying applicable legislation in the country of destination is always the buyer's responsibility.

What are mushroom drops?

Mushroom drops is a widely used search term for liquid research chemicals that are structurally related to psilocin. At Microdosing.shop, mushroom drops are available as 4-HO-MET, a synthetic research chemical structurally related to psilocin but not derived from mushrooms or truffles. The substance is offered exclusively for analytical and scientific research.
