Okay, firstly - hello!

This is my first post on Lemmy. If I’m doing something wrong - please let me know. Also - sorry for my english.

Actually I’m trying to gain knowledge about microdosing. I have experience with psychedelics (and other drugs), so I am aware how it could work, but still - there is not many reliable sources about it.

If someone is not familliar with it - it’s about taking very small ammounts of LSD or Psilocybin in period of, depends, like three months. People claims is a very good thing for your productivity, motivation, presence. Very important is to not take too much - it’s not about tripping though, it’s about self-improvement.

The guy from this documentary started this project called Third Wave - but this worries me somehow, it has commercial approach (what is cool in term of making this topic popular, but still…)

Do you have any thoughts, sources or experiences you could share with us here? Thanks for that!

PS. Should I tag it NSFW?

    well, imo even though i have no proof whatsoever i think it is bullshit. sometimes i smoke really small amounts of weed and i still feel some heaviness throughout the day so i cant even think how it must feel consuming a small dosage of lsd. still maybe what i consider a small amount of weed is in fact more than a small dosage of lsd and it could have its benefits.

    theres a movie called drunk i think, its starred by mads mikelsen and it is about somethig similar, but with alcohol. i also think that u may generate tolerance and you will end up needing more and more, but again maybe im missing something.

    i am the admin of this communiy and i dont think the nsfw tag is necessary, unless the server admins think so, in which case the whole communitt would need to be it. but i dont think its necessart

      Yup, thanks.

      I’m not a specialist on that topic (as I said) but just few things:

      • Did you ever tried LSD? Because if you never had this experience it would be clear why you’re comparing it to weed. I don’t think it should be compared to anything. Ah, and we’re talking about 10 micrograms twice a week for three months.
      • About alcohol - I know what you’re talking about, but also think that it cannot be compared - LSD is not influenting the same parts of brain, it’s completely different architecture. But of course I think that our body can generate tolerance for everything - and maybe microdosing is just about generate the tolerance in some way. But I can imagine that making tolerance for LSD you would need to take it every day - and we’re talking here about ten micrograms just twice a week. And it’s not about to feel effect - it’s about long term process.

        yeah ive tried lsd, well not lsd but third world anfets that immitate it, ive tried shrums, too. my longest trip was something like 14 or 16hs i think. still i dont have any idea of the amount thateans since i never had the chance to do it in a controlled way

        i think you can generate tolerance without consuming every day tho, i ve consumed acid a couple of followed weekends or with some days in between and it was the same batch and it started to hit me less strong. but i agre with that dosage and timelapse it wouldnt be the same

        ill try to read the article a provide a better insight tomorrow, its night oer here and im tired
