That's not to say that microdosing can't be useful. But I think it's possibly quite dangerous for some people. My evidence of that is knowing people who have done too much acid, and meeting plenty of street people in Haight-Ashbury who do acid.
- mistermann 5y agoPerhaps a more harmonious way of discussing this notion: what percentage of times does psychedelic usage lead to psychosis, and what evidence do we have that could suggest a plausibly accurate answer to that question?
- gunshai 5y agoThis perfectly encapsulates my feeling. I see a lot of talk about the psychosis hypothesis but little in the way of evidence. Folks have some really rustled jimmies about being called out that evidence.
- mistermann 5y agoAs a psychedelics enthusiast myself, who is particularly fascinated by the phenomenon whereby they demonstrate that the way we perceive reality in normal states of mind is obviously imperfect/filtered, reading people who are in normal states of mind talking about what psychedelics "are" or "do" (or, talkig about anything regarding reality, really) is....trippy.
