An increasing number of twenty-somethings are reportedly 'micro-dosing' on psychedelic drugs - and they say it's making them better workers
Could taking LSD at work make your more productive?
It seems unlikely, but that?s apparently what some Silicon Valley professionals have been doing - and reporting great results.
According to Rolling Stone, a growing number of people are experimenting with "microdoses" of psychedelics to help them work.
A microdose of LSD is around 10-15 micrograms, approximately a tenth of a ?normal? dose.
At that dosage, Rolling Stone describes the drug?s effects as ?subperceptual?: " 'Enough, says Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, ?to feel a little bit of energy lift, a little bit of insight, but not so much that you are tripping.??
Psychedelics researcher Dr James Fadiman discussed microdosing with Vice, saying: ?People do it and they?re eating better, sleeping better, they?re often returning to exercise or yoga or meditation. It?s as if messages are passing through their body more easily.?
?But what many people are reporting is, at the end of the day, they say, ?That was a really good day.? You know, that kind of day when things kind of work.?
?You?re doing a task you normally couldn?t stand for two hours, but you do it for three or four. You eat properly. Maybe you do one more set of reps. Just a good day. That seems to be what we?re discovering.?
