✨Microdosing psychedelics like magic mushrooms and LSD has gained popularity.
🧪Scientific studies on the benefits of microdosing have produced mixed results.
🤷♀️Claims of increased productivity, creativity, and well-being are not supported by double-blind controlled studies.
🙌Some researchers suggest that the positive effects of microdosing could be placebo-induced.
🔬The scientific community is questioning the actual physiological mechanisms of microdosing and believes more research is needed.
What is microdosing?
—Microdosing is the practice of taking small amounts of psychedelics like magic mushrooms or LSD to experience subtle effects without the hallucinatory experiences of a full dose.
What are the claimed benefits of microdosing?
—Microdosing advocates claim increased productivity, creativity, improved mood, and better general well-being.
Why are double-blind controlled studies important?
—Double-blind controlled studies help eliminate bias and placebo effects, providing more reliable scientific evidence.
What do scientific studies on microdosing show?
—Scientific studies on microdosing have produced mixed results, with some showing no significant differences between microdosing and a placebo.
What do researchers think about microdosing?
—Some researchers believe that the positive effects attributed to microdosing could be placebo-induced. The scientific community calls for more research to understand the actual physiological mechanisms at play.
