Microdosing them bloody drugs.

[Lance Kennedy]

Reference : New Scientist, 17 June 2017, page 22

It appears that both psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and LSD in small doses taken regularly may have benefits for some mental disorders. Note : not anxiety. I am talking about depression and PTSD.

The appropriate dose is about one tenth of that taken by recreational users, and taken 2 to 3 times a week. This is not proven. There is a problem with testing illegal drugs, and researchers have not fully nailed this down. Magic mushroom microdose is about 0.2 grams.

But the indications are that microdoses do not cause harm, and may be therapeutic in the right place. Indeed, there are reports that they enhance creativity in normal people.

Microdosers report feeling more determined, active and enthusiastic, but also more nervous and jittery.

Obviously more research is needed.

More determined, active, and enthusiastic in obtaining their next score, yet more nervous and jittery lest they be caught?

LSD has been used by some psychiatrists since the 60's. It also enhances or accentuates a patient's emotional reactions during "talk therapy"

I suppose that psychedelic hallucinations are important to understand that your perceptions may not always be telling the exact truth.

Which I recommend exploring. But by golly. Don't go too far down that path. Just once or twice was enough for me. Then {!#%@} starts getting scary.

{!#%@}. Bad trip, man. Bad {!#%@} trip.

I'm like Doctor Bones. I won't step into that teleporter. I don't trust it.

Sometimes a reduction in dose of a drug changes the nature of the experience, not just the intensity. There is now evidence that microdoses of LSD and psilocybin may be therapeutic. At least, for some conditions. So we do not have to assume the microdose experience is the same as the full recreational dose. For example, we do not have to assume hallucinations.

Republicans...... not really conservative, more like reactionary and retrograde.
