Wow that's a lot of data. I found it a little too complicated to understand. Would it be possible for someone to write a small summary? Did microdosing work for the author?
- NathanKP 13y agoThe introduction summarizes the result of his study within the first few paragraphs: At this dosage, the anecdotes claim the usual generic spectrum of positive effects on mood, depression, ability to do work, etc.... I concluded that if anything, the LSD microdosing may done [sic] the opposite of what I wanted.
- brianlweiner 13y agoIn the first section: "I concluded that if anything, the LSD microdosing may done the opposite of what I wanted. Given that this is the opposite of almost all microdosing anecdotes and this pattern suggests placebo & expectancy effects, I strongly urge any future self-experimenters to up their methodological rigor, and especially to blind their doses."
- kh_hk 13y agoThe last part you quote is really important to understand the conclusion. Expectancy and mood can really alter psychedelic experiences. Can't be sure for microdosing, though. Now, how could an experiment up the methodological rigor? Maybe signing a contract where one does accept to be given microdoses of LSD randomly in a period of 5 years, and secretly spilling it on his water?
