400 People Microdosed LSD for a Month in the Name of Science - "data presented at the MAPS conference was culled from the reports of 418 volunteers"

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 78%.

As its name suggests, microdosing involves regularly taking hits of acid that are so small that users won't feel any of the trippy effects.

For the last five years, Fadiman has been laying the groundwork for a science of microdosing, and last weekend during the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies psychedelic science conference, he revealed some surprising initial results from his independent microdosing study.

To participate in this study, volunteers must have access to their own LSD and are encouraged to take a microdose of the stuff every four days for one month.

In keeping with the received wisdom, those taking LSD microdoses reported a remarkable increase in feelings of determination, alertness, and energy, as well as a strong decrease in feelings of depression.

Interestingly Fadiman noted that microdosing LSD didn't seem to work out as well for those who entered the study on the basis of anxiety alone-microdosing LSD actually seemed to increase their anxiety.

Do microdoses of LSD affect menstruation? How about vision in the colorblind? Prior to Fadiman's studies, it is unlikely that clinicians would have even thought to ask such questions.
