Isn't this highly related to the work you do? I'm a software engineer who's quite experienced with most drugs including LSD. I can't imagine LSD improving my work at all.
And if I would need to take drugs to be good at my job, I'd just quit my job. Even the long-term effects of the most popular drugs are largely unkown (e.g. there's a lot of debate about the neurotoxicity of MDMA). Let alone all the lesser known drugs. These people who try to get 'more out of their brain' might just as well be totally ruining them.
- Johnny555 10y agoI think the point of the micro-dose is that it's not enough to make you feel high, just enough to have positive effects. So it's likely not the same effect you've experienced, unless you've experimented with micro-doses.
- kabes 10y agoDon't have experience with micro-doses. But any dose wears off. So at a certain point, you basically have a micro dose. But there's not a single point in the whole LSD experience that would make me a better engineer. Of course, it might for other people, although I seriously doubt it. Maybe in other fields (marketing, sales, etc).
- laxd 10y agoHave'nt tried microdosing. But when a full dose wears off, it would be natural to be a bit mentally exhausted from the trip so I can't imagine it's comparable to a microdose.
- acetoxy 10y agoExactly. 10µg and 100µg are very different. You don't trip from 10µg as you would from 100µg. You may feel a little bit more energetic, a little bit happier, conversations flow better etc... But it's all very subtle. From the article: > In fact, a common problem for new experimenters, according to Fadiman, is that people are used to feeling the effects of drugs, and a micro-dose of LSD can sometimes be less perceptible than a cup of coffee.
- WalterSear 10y agoComing down is not the same as a microdose.
