Does microdosing actually work?

[Anonymous No.20052397]

I'm in a cutthroat competitive environment that I actually love, but I'd also love get the edge on my competition. How legit is microdosing for productivity? It almost seems like the new "uhh dude weed is actually anti-inflammatory that's why I get high"

Industrial research. Lots of cash atm, but kill or be killed.

Microdosing could possibly help you. There's only one way to figure out.

Degenerates. How about exercise fasting and low carb diets.

Microdosing typically only alleviates depression/lack of motivation, I dont think its actually going to make you "more productive" if you arent suffering from either of those. Some sort of strict sleep/diet/exercise routine coupled with stimulant abuse is going to help you a lot more than microdosing. You could try it for a week or two and see yourself. There's not a lot of risk behind microdosing unless you have family history of mental illness, even then the risk is minor.

Fuck microdosing. Mega dosing is where it’s at

[Anonymous No.20052896]

>>20052448
Try it once or twice and mine a few good sounding ideas from the dosed state, and then STOP DOSING. Do not make it a habit like everyone tells you to, it is a trap.
t. didn't stop dosing

[Anonymous No.20052911]

idk about microdosing if you ever consider amphetamines keep the dose 20mg and below no matter what. dont ask why, dont think you will be fine if more. just be happy with what you get from 10,15,20mg ok? you cant go back if you break this rule. dose is everything.

Psylocybin is not the best substance to use for this. Short half life, quick tolerance buildup. LSD makes a lot more sense.

>>20052896
You're exactly who I wanted to talk to. What did you do?

>>20052742
I have a personality disorder (they don't suspect a thing). That's why I didn't jump straight to experimenting.

>>20052911
Scared to actually use amphetamines. I know what they do, we make them and give them to children (ritalin).

LSD inhibits serotonin and serotonin is actually bad so that's why LSD is good. Any hallucinations is bad side effects from overdose and not actually helpful. 10-20 micro grams is enough to expand consciousness. Ray Peat is the best source for info on this.

Just did LSD last week and it was fun. I did not know it could help with work and stuff.

I'm >>20052896 in case my id changed.
I decided to try it for problem solving skills in my work (specialized engineering/construction) and hobby art gains on a 1 day on, 3 days off schedule. Dose was approximately 12.5 mics, which was not noticeable AT FIRST. The first two weeks' worth of doses were useful, similar to what other people describe ie. slight boosts in serotonin/dopamine/adrenaline related traits; energy, confidence, personability, insight, motivation. At work I just felt on my A game, at my art hobby I felt the same plus I came up with some good ideas that went on to become memes in my local art community. After those first two weeks, things slowly turned off kilter. My thinking became a little disorganized at work, I'd wake up feeling slightly "acid hungover," my daily motivation and broadness of feeling waned, especially towards weeks 5 and 6. Leading into weeks 7 and 8, I began to feel trippy after a dose (still 12.5 mics), with all the attendant negatives; slight paranoia, low attention span, difficulty solving easy problems, electric body load, VERY tired after dose day. I stopped after week 8 and was kind of a mess for a few months afterward with some persisting perceptual effects, eg. the teeth grindy acid feel and mesmerizartion at stupid trains of thought.
All in all i widh I had stopped at 3 or 4 doses, those were the only ones that I got anything transcendant out of the experience.
Because you're in a highly competitive field that requires precise thinking, I suggest that you protect your body and mind at all costs. If you feel the need to improve, do it through diet, exercise, and natural tress reduction rather than through drug use. If you are still curious, put a hard limit on one or two micro doses with the intent to come out of the experience with one or two new ideas and then STOP.

[Anonymous No.20054669]

Take a few micro lsd dosages to get new ideas/connections, then take Semax to execute and keep mental exhaustion away.

>Psylocybin is not the best substance to use for this.
I disagree. It is the safest, best psychedelic drug to "try" first. Some people should not do psychedelic drugs, there is only one way to find out. Tolerance develops (and dissipates) at almost the same rate for both LSD and psylocybin, so much so that taking one increases tolerance for the other. Mushrooms are much easier to dose than LSD unless the LSD is pharmaceutical grade. Trying to micro dose with blotter you got from a smelly hippy or dumb amateur pychonaut may result in a full fledged 10 hour balls to the wall trip and has many times according to a friend of mine who works at a famous silicon valley start-up.

You need to leave days to weeks between times that you microdose. It will massively up your energy and creative productivity, but don't do what all the fucking stoners who try it do and just microdose all the time. That's a moronic thing to do for a ton of reasons and a lot of people will try to talk you into it.

>The day is July 24 2020. You wake up as the sun starts to rise. You don't need an alarm anymore. Two naked women lie beside you. You don't recognize the second one. She must be a friend of your girlfriend. You really need to lay off the cocaine. You're starting to get sloppy.

>You check your blockfolio, the value of pivvr increased by 5x while you slept, the new hype Wasape was talking about must have been better than expected. You think back to a month ago. You only bought 1 eth in the presale but when pivvr hit 100x you suddenly had 100 eth.

>You were very tempted to sell at 5x,10x,20x but you forced yourself to hold. You sat on your hands. It was even harder to hold when bitcoin did 20x hitting 200k each, but you told yourself that this is your last chance. You thought about how much you would hate yourself if you sold too early.

>Finally when you had $2m in ether you sold half. You couldn't resist any longer. Now you hate yourself for it. If you would have waited that $2m would be $10m by now, and you use a lot of cocaine and ketamine to distract yourself from the fact that you could have bought a yacht if you just waited a little longer.

>You push the new girl aside so you have more room to stretch and she yipes and shrinks away. You look around the room for the drug plate and do a line of ketamine mixed with cocaine. It's OK you tell yourself, $2m is a lot. But inside, you are screaming.

>But you will eventually get over it and stop using drugs. After all, it was only one eth.

Scrolled right past this. You should avoid, especially if taking other drugs. Really, avoid these drugs, I am an old guy from Grateful Dead era, if you're not a happy go lucky type your head can and will go bad places, best to skip it, even with a "microdose".
