According to the Journal of Psychopharmacology: a microdose is ‘1 per cent of the pharmacologically active dose [of any drug], up to a maximum of 100 µg [micrograms]’.In psychedelic microdosing communities, it is 5-10 % of a standard or ‘trippy’ dose of a psychedelic.Dosing amounts for a proper psychedelic trip:  <ul><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9751063/#:~:text=Based%20on%20several,any%20given%20batch.">2-5 grams</a> of magic mushrooms (psilocybin)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">or <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4813425/#:~:text=%2C%201997)-,(LSD%20%3D%20100).,-One%20of%20the">100-200 micrograms</a> of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)</li></ul>In Microdosing: <ul><li class="ql-align-justify">0.2-0.5 grams of magic mushrooms and </li><li class="ql-align-justify">5-20 micrograms of LSD.</li></ul>(Note that most controlled research studies use psilocybin, the psychoactive molecule in magic mushrooms).

Just what is microdosing?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Semantics aside, microdosing psychedelics means merely consuming very small amounts of the substance, usually 5-10 % of the standard hallucinatory dose.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Contrary to the <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13634615221119386">popular belief</a>, the aim of microdosing is to obtain whatever psychological and neurological benefits the psychedelic may bestow, but at a level that is perceptually unnoticeable to the consumer.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">if the microdosing occurs on a regular schedule over a period of several weeks to several months, many believe that microdosing can yield benefits equal to what one may gain from a full-dose psychedelic trip.</li></ul>

Objective

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Somewhat like taking a traditional antidepressant, microdosing psychedelics requires adhering to a predetermined dosing regimen, and remaining persistent with it even if benefits are not immediately noticeable.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Microdosing psychedelics, however, does not occur daily but once every couple of days, or perhaps once a week or even every couple of weeks.</li></ul>

In 2022, a comprehensive <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763422001956">review</a> of microdosing was published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews. It found that microdoses of psychedelics often have subtle but noticeable effects on perception and mental states.Key Findings:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Microdoses commonly cause changes in perception, such as altered mental states and visual distortions.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">People may also experience physical sensations, such as heightened awareness and feelings of bliss.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Microdosing may result in a sense of unity with the world around them.</li></ul>Check out the comprehensive January 2024 findings here ➡ <a href="https://www.psychiatrist.com/pcc/modern-psychedelic-microdosing-research-mental-health-systematic-review/">Review</a>

Effects of microdosing

1. Complete a physical and mental health assessment.Consulting a primary care physician for a checkup can help you evaluate your physical health and uncover any risk factors that psychedelics may exacerbate.A mental health professional can help you evaluate your transient and persistent mental states and any cognitive, emotional and behavioral risk factors susceptible to psychedelic microdosing.Online self-assessment tool here ➡ <a href="https://umatter.princeton.edu/sites/g/files/toruqf2181/files/media/princeton-umatter-wellness-self-assessment.pdf">Link</a>Consider two major attributes when assessing microdosing risks: <ol><li class="ql-align-justify">hallucinogenic effects and </li><li class="ql-align-justify">prolonged exposure to psychedelics.</li></ol>

Guidelines for initiating a sensible microdosing programme:

Hallucinogenic effects: <ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Psychedelics can induce hallucinatory experiences, ranging from pleasant to terrifying. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">While they're considered integral to consciousness-expansion, they can trigger psychosis or mania, especially in predisposed individuals. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Clinical trials exclude those with psychotic or manic histories, though <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02698811211069100">modern trials</a> haven't documented such episodes, indicating lower risk in controlled settings.</li></ul>

Prolonged and repeated exposure:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Repeated exposure to psychedelics, even in microdoses, poses psychological risks, evidenced by reports of negative mental health effects. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Concerns also arise regarding potential cardiovascular side-effects, particularly the risk of valvular heart disease (VHD) due to psychedelics' impact on serotonin receptors. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">While current evidence lacks definitive conclusions, caution is advised until further research clarifies the safety of microdosing on both mental and cardiovascular health.</li></ul>For a more comprehensive review of risk factors and adverse effects ➡ <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02698811211069100">article</a>

Deciding which substance to use for microdosing can be overwhelming, but some options are more popular and safer than others.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">LSD and magic mushrooms (psilocybin) are the most commonly used substances for microdosing.</li><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0211023&type=printable">Studies</a> have shown that they have a better safety profile and are more widely available than other psychedelics.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">If you choose LSD or magic mushrooms, you can find more <a href="https://greystonebooks.com/products/psyched">information</a> and connect with others who are also using these substances.</li></ul>Other psychedelics can also be microdosed, but these may have a higher risk and are not as well-studied.

2. Select a substance for microdosing

Pro tip: Check out the 2022 systematic <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763422001956">review</a> for more information on microdosing with LSD and magic mushrooms.

Choosing the right amount to microdose is important for a successful experience. Here are some tips to help you determine how much you should take:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Start with a very small amount, ideally between 1-2% of the standard dose for a sub-perceptual experience.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">If you want a mild shift in mental states without a full trip, stick to the 5-10% standard.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">For a light but real psychedelic trip and elevated consciousness, try 15-20%.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reflect on your experience with full doses of psychedelics to guide your decision.</li></ol>

3. Determine how much to microdose

Procuring psychedelics is typically done via underground methods, so use caution and rely on personal connections rather than social media.Some tips on how to obtain psychedelics for microdosing:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Know the laws: Make sure you are aware of the laws regarding psychedelics in your area before attempting to procure them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Use personal connections: Reach out to trusted sources in your network to obtain psychedelics rather than relying on risky methods.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Consider legal options: In some places, psychedelics may be decriminalized for specific uses, so consider growing your own psychedelic mushrooms there.</li></ul>

4. Procuring your psychedelics

Why is testing important?<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Recreational drugs like cocaine and MDMA are often laced with fentanyl and other dangerous <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0269881120953994">adulterants</a>, leading to an increase in overdose cases in the US.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">While fungi and plant-based drugs are less likely to be contaminated with fentanyl, they can still be laced with other harmful substances.</li></ul>This makes it crucial to test any drugs acquired in powder, pill, or liquid form.

5. Testing Your Psychedelics

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Using <a href="https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DOA/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Fact_Sheet_Fentanyl_Testing_Approved_ADA.pdf">fentanyl test strips</a> is a simple and inexpensive way to detect the presence of fentanyl in street drugs. However, they cannot measure potency or confirm the authenticity of the drug.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Drug-specific testing is a more accurate option, but it can be costly. Kits for detecting MDMA and LSD, for example, can range from $20 to $120.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">We recommend purchasing testing kits from trusted sources, such as <a href="https://dancesafe.org/">Dancesafe.org</a> or DrugsData, an independent laboratory based in Sarameto.</li></ul>Personal Note: Search online for similar resources in your country or region which best suit your needs.

How to test?

Storing psychedelics is important while microdosing for a few weeks or months as they can lose potency if not kept properly.Tips for storing psychedelics:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Use airtight containers.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Place in cool, dry, and dark environment.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">For long-term storage, keep LSD and magic mushroom in fridge or freezer.</li></ul>

6. Storing Your Psychedelics

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The best way to discover which microdosing protocol suits you best is simply by trying them out.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">We recommend starting with Fadiman’s Protocol (one day of microdosing followed by two days off) or, if that doesn’t fit your schedule, the Two-days-a-week Protocol. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">‘Stamets stack protocol’ microdoses of: </li></ul>  dried psychedelic mushrooms + Lion’s Mane + Vitamin B3 on a dosing schedule of 4-5 days on and 2-3 days off. This cycle is repeated for 4-6 weeks, followed by a break of 2-6 weeks.

7. Designing a Microdosing Protocol

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The important thing is to become aware of the contrast between an ordinary and a microdosing day. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">To properly investigate what microdosing can do for you, we recommend writing your observations down in a journal or <a href="https://microdosinginstitute.com/how-to/microdose-tracking/">tracking them via an app</a>.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">After your first cycle, or if you experience adverse effects, you can decide to switch to another microdosing protocol.</li></ul>At least a month of microdosing may be necessary to obtain any potential benefits.

By going slow, you give yourself a chance to really know, to really observe what is different, why it’s different, and how you can best take advantage of it. The day you’re completely off is great as a reset day, kind of like clearing the mind/body palate. Then you’re fresh and ready to undertake the experiment again.

Neuroscientist Carl Hart suggests four critical factors to consider: dose, route, set, and setting. To enjoy microdosing, the individual should measure small amounts accurately.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Psychedelic plants and fungi can be weighed with milligram scales. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Microdosing is usually 1/10th to 1/20th of a standard dose. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">LSD, a liquid sold on tiny squares, is nearly impossible to determine its potency. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">A square of LSD = 1 recreational dose (100 micrograms). </li><li class="ql-align-justify">To divide LSD blotters, cut it into 9 equal squares. </li></ul>However, this slightly exceeds the recommended 1/10th to 1/20th amount. Beginners try smaller squares!

8. Carefully measuring and dividing microdoses

If you're new to psychedelics or microdosing, tracking your experience on the first day of microdosing is crucial. This will help you distinguish between hype and reality.While some may experience phenomenal outcomes, the effects are typically more subtle.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Record any negative or positive reactions on the first day of microdosing.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Journal and track other data points throughout your microdosing cycle.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Use tools like <a href="https://microdose.me/index.html">psychometric measures</a> to monitor your experience.</li></ul>Remember: The goal is to be mindful of how you respond to the microdose – manage it effectively on a regular basis.

9. Microdosing: Tracking Microdoses and Effects

According to the article here's a list of conditions in which microdosing is not recommended:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Individuals with psychotic disorders or a family history of them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">People with severe personality disorders.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Anyone who is taking medication that might interact negatively with psychedelics.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">People who have recently had a heart attack or stroke.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Those with uncontrolled hypertension.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Individuals with severe liver or kidney dysfunction.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Anyone with a history of mania or hypomania.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">People with a history of epilepsy or other seizure disorders.</li></ol>

When microdosing is not recommended

I believe that microdosing can have positive effects on cognition, mental health and happiness, and can be extremely useful for many when used correctly.Psychedelic experiences are esoteric phenomena that humanity grapples with mercurially, as an individual does with complicated emotions like fear and love.The question is: what is the role of microdosing in the context of today?

Essential Steps to Secure Your Home Office

You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.

It's a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self-discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day.

Denial is the ultimate comfort zone.

The ticket to victory often comes down to bringing your very best when you feel your worst.

It may be satisfactory, but that's another word for mediocrity.

Are you an experienced scuba diver? Great, shed your gear, take a deep breath and become a one-hundred-foot free diver. Are you a badass triathlete? Cool, learn how to rock climb. Are you enjoying a wildly successful career? Wonderful, learn a new language or skill. Get a second degree. Always be willing to embrace ignorance and become the dumb fuck in the classroom again, because that is the only way to expand your body of knowledge and body of work. It’s the only way to expand your mind

The hero is you.

Be more than motivated, be more than driven, become literally obsessed to the point where people think you're fucking nuts.

We’re either getting better or we’re getting worse.

If you want to master the mind and remove your governor, you’ll have to become addicted to hard work. Because passion and obsession, even talent, are only useful tools if you have the work ethic to back them up.

You're sure to find strength in these powerful words from the author of "Can't Hurt Me"—the only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Controller, and one of the world's top endurance athletes.

Cultural imprinting is a mechanism by which an ad changes the culture, by changing how we are perceived by others when we use a product. Cultural imprinting works because it relies on the principle of common knowledge, which means both the ads and the product usage has to be conspicuous. We all see the ad advertising "Corona" as the drink for chilling at the beach. And we all communicate the association to the message when we pick a Corona at a party. This is why cultural imprinting ads are found on billboards. And why it works for Coca-Cola but not for a bedsheet company.

Brand advertising = Cultural Imprinting

Imagine you see an ad for a new brand of sneakers. The ad features cool people wearing the sneakers and having fun. This might make you think that if you wear those sneakers, you'll also be cool and have fun. That's cultural imprinting!Ads don't directly tell you the sneakers are good, instead, they try to make you think that wearing them will change how other people see you. In other words, according to the article, ads don't convince you a product is great, they try to convince you that using the product will make you look great in the eyes of others.

Cultural Imprinting in Real life

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Emotional imprinting is the idea that ads can create positive associations between a product and feelings. These associations can influence us to buy a product later, even if we don't consciously remember the ad.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Cultural imprinting is about how ads change the culture by creating associations between a product and a group of people. </li></ul>So, the key difference between the two is the former works on an individual level, by creating positive associations between a product and our emotions, while the later works on a societal level, by creating associations between products and social groups.

Cultural Imprinting vs Emotional Imprinting

Not every company can play the cultural game. Alternatives:- Informing customers about a product: "FYI, product X exists. Here's how it works. It's available if you need it." Hopefully by repeating it enough time sales happen.- Overt persuasion: "4/5 doctors prefer Camels" or "Verizon: America's largest 4G LTE network"- Making promises: Guarantee or warrantees, but more often a brand image. Like Disney = "family entertainment"- Honest signaling: an ads in a very expensive location. A huge billboard announces (subtextually), "We're willing to spend a lot of $ on this. We're committed to it."

When sensory overload happens, your brain is overwhelmed with information from your five senses and can’t process it correctly.

Your ADHD brain is prone to being overstimulated. Once you get into that state, your brain starts telling your body that you need to escape and you lose the ability to prioritize.

Sensory Overload

Help prevent overwhelm by:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">holding conversations in a quieter area during a party</li><li class="ql-align-justify">making a shopping list before you go to the store</li><li class="ql-align-justify">plotting out low stimulus locations that you can take refuge in</li><li class="ql-align-justify">telling a trusted friend your plan so that they can help</li><li class="ql-align-justify">getting enough sleep</li><li class="ql-align-justify">having a balanced diet</li><li class="ql-align-justify">regular exercise</li><li class="ql-align-justify">strong and healthy relationships</li><li class="ql-align-justify">meditation and mindfulness</li><li class="ql-align-justify">appropriately prescribed medication</li></ul>

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of regulation

Temperature: Changing your body changes your blood pressure and heart rate. Some cold water on your face or holding an ice cube can help.Intense Exercise: Allows you to direct the tightly wound energy into a task and trick your body into completing the stress response cycle.Paced Breathing: Can slow down your natural breathing rhythm and allow your body to focus on something other than the stimulus.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://youtu.be/7tyBAv_xxLo">Figure 8 Breathing</a></li><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://youtu.be/vGMWWZVcCIo">Hand Breath</a></li></ul>Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Relieves muscle tension and also focuses your attention on something other than the stimulus.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://youtu.be/SNqYG95j_UQ">Progressive Muscle Relaxation Walkthrough</a></li></ul>

Help regulate by remembering TIPP

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

When you are hit with a bout of overstimulation, sometimes you feel the urge to lash out at those around you. If you can take a breath and briefly hold it at the height of your emotion, it will peak, and hopefully enough of your rational brain will kick in to prevent you from saying or doing something that you'll regret.

Getting over the peak

The first thing you should do when you are having a big emotional response is get away from the cause.The second thing is calm yourself with TIPP.The third thing is to name your feeling. This helps create distance and perspective.The last thing is to soothe yourself. You've just experienced something hard and could use a hug. Give yourself some comfort by experiencing something nice for your five senses. Look at something beautiful, taste something delicious, hear something encouraging, touch something comforting, and smell something pleasing.

Stop the cycle

One of the common symptoms of ADHD that I experience is sensory overload. This article helped me understand what is happening and some tips on how to regulate during and attempt to prevent the overload from occurring.

If you live with ADHD, you might feel overwhelmed easily. Learning a few coping tips, and making these into a routine, can help.

Understand yourself and those around you.
