Ep. 9 - Microdosing
Millions of Americans use psychedelics very year to dramatically shift their consciousness in order to explore themselves and have our of this world experiences, but many have been turning to these substances for subtle, imperceptable and reportedly therapeutic effects at smaller doses. We interview many and have discussions about the effects of psilocybin mushrooms and LSD on productivity as well as mental health, depression, and PTSD. Is LSD the next coffee? Are mushrooms the new prozac? Join us and our friends to see what insights we've gained see what questions need to continue to be explored.
Naturally, those interviewed for this episode preferred to remain anonymous due to the contraband status of psycheledics, therefore I will be thanking them for their very generous and insightful contributions by their codenames.
Thank you Space Dog, Molly, Anonymous Periwinkle, Anonymous Dude 1, and to Saumuel Taylor Raine LeClaire.
If you're looking for further information, one book you could look into would be "A really good day" by Ayelet Waldman from 2017. Another is the Psychedelic Explorer's guide by James Fadiman which was published in 2011.
