Microdosing lsd

Microdosing LSD In recent years  a new form of substance abuse is becoming increasingly common among stay-at-home moms and CEOs alike: microdosing LSD.

Certain Psychedelic drugs can reportedly improve mood, induce physical and mental stimulation, and encourage creative thinking. Emerging studies support the notion that Hallucinogenic drugs, taken in small doses or under the supervision and guidance of a medical professional, can be used to treat mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

However, taking consistent and frequent doses of any drug, especially one as potent as LSD, is by no means safe for all individuals and may put certain people at a high risk for developing addiction.

Microdosing Origins: Shared Experiences Online

Microdosing LSD and other Hallucinogens initially gained popularity among drug users sharing their experiences on the internet. Practitioners used online community forums (such as Reddit) and Psychedelic information sites’ message boards (like Erowid) to boast about the “benefits” of microdosing.

The Changing Stigma Of Hallucinogen Use

• Notably, many users reported first trying microdosing as a substitute for Adderall (a Stimulant prescribed to treat ADHD). Adderall is also referred to as a “study drug” or “smart drug” by many college students and young professionals who misuse it, either by taking it without a prescription or by taking it in excessive quantities. Because of the perceived positive effects on work or school performance, many people who don’t consider themselves typical drug users may be attracted to microdosing LSD.

When it comes to the classic perception of Psychedelics users, the image that typically comes to mind is one of long-haired and colorfully dressed hippies attending Woodstock.

The microdosing trend in Silicon Valley has even been the subject of articles in mainstream and notable media sources including Rolling Stone and Forbes. Catchy titles garner ever more attention from the media and readers, describing LSD as “The Hot New Business Trip.”
