I begin microdosing
    #23745031 - 10/17/16 10:01 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

After years of saying that I'd like to try microdosing LSD I'm finally getting to it. I have been making some big transitions in my life with finding new work, prioritizing meditation, cleaning up my diet, removing cannibis from my life completely, developing a more consistent writing schedule, and considering a move, and with these changes, I'm adding a daily LSD supplement first thing in the morning.  I'm starting very light (1/16th tab) and plan to stay with this for 1-2 weeks. If I feel no notable effects (which is basically the plan) I'll plan to experiment with doubling this dose. I'd like to keep effect sub-threshold.

I'm curious if any of you have experience personally with microdosing LSD or suggestions of what to expect, although I have read the literature and have a pretty good idea what the problem pulse can consensus is.

One question for the community though: should I expect this low of a daily dose to affect my tolerance?

Thanks :smile:

i'm curious....why did you remove cannibis from your life?

in answer to your question: ANYTHING you do everyday for a couple of weeks will increase your tolerance. with such a small dose, your tolerance increase will be a scientifically measurable one, but probably not an otherwise noticeable one.

Microdosing ALD-52 is one of my favorite things. It's a total anti depressant, anti anxiety, creativity enhancer, socializer, mood stabilizer, motiviation enhancement, all senses enhanced. If you have no tolerance, the cool part about it is, the microdose lasts for 72 hours pretty apparently, you can feel it the next day when you wake up. my preferred dosage is 15-20ug, but some people like a little less.

You can expect to be happier overall, I have been on regimen usually once a week, at most twice a week, I can't say it does anything other than make my life that much more enjoyable. Never experienced a hint of any side effects either.

If you stick to once a week, you will never gain any tolerance off 15 to 20ug. If you do it twice a week, you will notice it build slowly over a month, doesn't take long to reset though.

I've quit cannibis after a lot of time and consideration. I have come to realize that I was using lot more and more as a distraction from life than a tool for enhancement. I've stopped for up to a month in the past but just to reset my tolerance. This is the first time that I've quit because I actually wanted it out of my life. After quitting I also received a job opportunity that offers a potential for a lot of income, but it requires that I can pass a hair test, which I am against on ethical grounds, but the money is just too good to pass up, and that gives me another reinforcing reason to take pot out of my life. Not to mention tr money that I was spending on pot. I've basically been a 5-times a day pot smoker for about five years now. Time to let it go.

As for the ALD-52, I have no experience with it or access right now. I do however have a very healthy supply of very clean acid. So I'm planning once a day until or unless something gives me reason to change that. Today being my first day, I actually felt like I may have been perceiving the effect for about an hour, but it's hard to explain. Didn't feel like I was tripping, but I did feel like something was there. That may have had to do with the fact that I also went without caffeine today too, and I just felt a little different. I took the microdose, then went directly to the gym for two hours (my normal routine when I'm actually focusing on fitness and wellbeing). Within an hour of being at the gym I felt 100% normal. Right now (4 hours after dose) I feel pretty normal with maybe just a slightly elevated mood. I'm curious to see how it feels after a week or two. I'm also curious if I feel the same slight effect tomorrow morning.

Just microsed 20ug for the first time in 14 days, proving to be a little too strong for a microdose :lol: but lovely none the less, definitely slightly elevated in the zone.

    #23746632 - 10/17/16 06:11 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

I'll be posting more updates in the weeks that follow (or at least that's the plan), but I would like to report that so far I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the results.

Granted, I'm willing to admit that the effects that I've found today could be 1) the placebo effect, or 2) just the fact that today was a good day, I have to say that I feel like a damn starburst.

As I think I mentioned earlier, I started the day by taking the microdose at 9am (give or take), while I sipped on decaf tea (rather than the coffee that I normally start my day with). I also took 5HTP, Vitimin B, Vitamin C, Fish Oil, Ginko, and a multi-vitamin. Within about 30 minutes of the microdose I started to feel a little bit strange. It wasn't like coming up on acid, but it was *something*. I am not sure at this time if it was the acid or the fact that I skipped coffee, both seem equally as plausable. At no point in the day did I feel at all like I was tripping, but I could *almost* feel something that I can't quite put my finger on.

The "odd" feeling lasted for perhaps one hour. At 10:00am I started my workout with a 30 minute run on the treadmill. The run felt absolutely great, and I followed that with one hour of weights and then another 1/2 hour of cardio. By the time I had finished my run I no longer felt any of the strange effect. I felt quite normal, but very alert and had an amazing workout. From there I went to Safeway and bought breakfast (eggs, protein shake, and two "protein bar" bagels, all of which I normally eat right after my morning workout). This was at noon. I felt amazing.

From there I went on some errands (needed to buy a new hoodie, refill a perscription, and check the mail). When I was at the store one of the clerks said that I was so bright and cheerful that I had made his day and that he felt even happier just talking to me for that two minutes. I was really feeling great. Again, I was not tripping, but I was absolutely feeling an elevated mood.

From there I went to the local coffee shop and drank some more tea and worked on a writing project. The writing felt very easy and I still feel absolutely amazing.

Also worth noting, I have stopped smoking pot, and I think that this may also contribute to my feeling. I feel more clear headed after stopping the pot, but I have been off weed for about three weeks now, and I feel different today than I did just from being weed free.

I won't repost on this forum every day moving forward, but I did want to report that as of this first day, any hesitation that I've had about starting to microdose LSD has been completely washed away and I'm very excited to see what comes after one week of this.

Much love to y'all.

My plan is daily unless or until I notice any effect that would cause me to wish for otherwise. This is part of why I chose such a small dose (at least to begin). Should negative noticeable effects emerge I would absolutely take time off, but those whom I've spoken to first hand (and the research that I've done online) have indicated that daily is the way to go. Were I to go higher or seek a more pronounced effect, I would not be inclined to work with it daily.

Do you have any research/writing what would indicate that daily use could be a bad idea?

Also, note that I have started using 5HTP in conjunction with the morning microdose of LSD.

^Seems like people are doing between 1 out of every 4 days, or 5ish days in a row with one day off. I believe that I will follow the latter, and take off possibly Sunday. I will be recoding daily and report back accordingly.

Except for the fact that my blotters seem unevenly laid, 1/4 tab works equally well after 3 days gap, a half works well after 4 days gap, and a full tab works well after 5 days gap so I think 1/16th tab, if you can feel it at all, works every day with no tolerance.

I've done lsd only twice. a friend on here sent me 1 tab and both times i took 1/4 of that tab.  thank god.  Man it REALLY screwed me up.  There's no question I could feel it, and my pupils were enormous.  Even a 1/16 I'm sure would seriously affect me.  i can't imagine using it every day.  lol weeeeeeeeeee *spins*

I am a regular user of LSD (10-12 times a year?) as of this year. I have more experience in years past with DMT (I have experimented with daily use up to 7 days in a row) and mushrooms which I used once a week for 4 months last year, but I have actually always been sort of skeptical of LSD because it is a product of the laboratory. This year when I began using it more regularly I have found it to be very good to me. I do not think that I've ever seen my pupils dilate, but I do find that I trip a bit harder than my other friends who use the same dose. I have had 1/2 tab one time and found that I did not enjoy it at all. I could feel the effects, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what those effects were. I just felt really weird all day, and when the sun finally went down it felt like the day had only lasted for an hour or two.

So far (day 2) I don't feel any spiny effects or anything like that. As I wrote earlier, my only noticeable effect was feeling just a tiny bit strange for an hour in the morning and then I felt like a glowing starburst for the next 10 hours. Today is my second day, just finished my morning meditation and I'm headed out to start my day. I've also started a detailed journal of each day that I'll share with the community when this is all said and done.

Micro dosing is amazing. When I micro dosed I was taking like 30ug to 60ug.  I know it's a lot but most the time I always took more cause I perceived it was less at first. But then I started liking it. I spaced the micro doses 2 days apart. I did it 4 times in a week. That week I learned so much. I was havingmicro realaizations. I Also did something similar another week , 4 doses with stronger lucy. That week was focused on partying. The other week was focused on observing and internalizing. After that week I waited a week and took 1 tab. Then I stopped smoking pot. The micro doses had a large impact on my sober life.

Not visuals sober but a psychedelic mind state. My mind what constantly observing and was in this child like state, thinking abstractly and also observing in a slow state of mind. Hard to explain. I wasn't iq slower.

This lasted for 1 month and a half. It was awesome. Soon I'm quiting pot to because life is more stable when sober. It's just boring sober. That's where micro dosing come into play.

good luck on ur journey. I suggest to take above threshold ninja.

Here is what I found as a result of my microdose experiment. I took notes each day and reported them as listed below. At the end of each week I've listed a summary of the week and at the end of the post I've made a list of general observations from my 3 weeks of microdosing.



Micro-dose Journal

Procedure:
After several years of research and personal interest in micro-dosing I have begun my own personal experiment with the practice. I will be micro-dosing LSD at the beginning of the day. I will begin the experiment with 7-8ug of LSD in conjunction with several supplements. The supplements that I will be taking each morning with the micro-dose are as follow:

-5HTP: to address any concerns stemming from regular use of LSD on my serotonin levels.
-Vitamin C: Immune system support.
-Vitamin B12: Energy boost.
-Gingko balboa: Mental stimulant.
-Super Lysine: Immune system support.
-Fish Oil: Vitamin absorption.

I have also made some other changes in my life to correspond with the start of my micro-dosing. I have removed cannabis from my life entirely. I have been a daily smoker for 5 years, and although I’ve taken up to a month off to reset my tolerance, this is the first time that I have discontinued my use of marijuana because I actually desire to have it removed from my life. I have discontinued the use of marijuana two weeks prior to my beginning this micro-dosing experiment.

I am also starting this experiment without the regular use of caffeine, which I normally rely on at the beginning of each day and often throughout the day. In place of coffee I have started drinking decaffeinated tea first thing in the morning at the time of my micro-dose.

I intend to start with 7-8ug daily for the first two weeks of this experiment. I will use the micro-dose for 5-6 days, take 1-2 days off, and repeat this cycle for the second week. Depending on my results from the first two weeks I may up my dose to 14-16ug. It is however my goal to keep effects sub-threshold.

---
Week 1
Day 1:

Within about 30 minutes of the micro dose I started to feel a little bit strange. It wasn't like coming up on acid, but it was *something*. I am not sure at this time if it was the acid or the fact that I skipped coffee, both seem equally as plausible. At no point in the day did I feel at all like I was tripping, but I could *almost* feel something that I can't quite put my finger on.

The "odd" feeling lasted for perhaps one hour. At 10:00am I started my workout with a 30 minute run on the treadmill. The run felt absolutely great, and I followed that with one hour of weights and then another 1/2 hour of cardio. By the time I had finished my run I no longer felt any of the strange effect. I felt quite normal, but very alert and had an amazing workout. From there I went to Safeway and bought breakfast (eggs, protein shake, and two "protein bar" bagels, all of which I normally eat right after my morning workout). This was at noon. I felt amazing.

From there I went on some errands (needed to buy a new hoodie, refill a prescription, and check the mail). When I was at the store one of the clerks said that I was so bright and cheerful that I had made his day and that he felt even happier just talking to me for that two minutes. I was really feeling great. Again, I was not tripping, but I was absolutely feeling an elevated mood.

From there I went to the local coffee shop and drank some more tea and worked on a writing project. The writing felt very easy and I still feel absolutely amazing.

At around 6pm I felt what I would call “regular happy.” I suspect that was the end of the direct effects from the morning micro-dose. I came home after that, meditated (extremely positive experience) and had a beer with my roommate while he smoked pot. He was sad to hear that I wouldn’t be smoking with him anymore, but I told him that I don’t mind if he smokes, which I didn’t. I really didn’t even have the urge to smoke while I watched him. I just had my one beer. He smoked three bowls and several beers while I had one beer (he’s a bigger guy than me though). It was interesting watching him become drunk and high and I reflected that back on myself and realized how much I did not want to be that way. Not that he was a mess or anything, but I could see his ability to speak and think sort of deteriorate over the hour or so that we were talking. He mentioned that he might be curious to try the micro dosing thing that I’m doing.

---
Day 2:

I woke this morning at 8am, called my family to catch up, drank my decaf tea, and micro-dosed with my vitamins at about 8:45. I meditated for one half hour afterwards and felt amazing. As normal, I had some trouble at first with the mediation for about five minutes, but felt great after that.

One hour after the micro-dose I felt a *very* slight headache, or maybe more of a pressure in my head. I suspect that this has more to do with caffeine withdrawal (in fact now that I put that on the page, I’m quite sure that’s what it’s from), but otherwise feel normal. 

I felt very nauseated after my meditation, but this only lasted for about 2 minutes, and I’m quite sure that it is because of the caffeine withdrawal and not from the micro-dose. I stood up and actually felt like I was going to puke. So I went to the kitchen, ate a piece of wheat bread and instantly felt 100% fine.

From there I went to the gym, but not to workout today. I am going to be completing a 50 mile trail run on Thursday and need to be fresh for that, so as much as I wanted to workout this morning, I did not want to over train myself, and so I went to the gym to shower and sit in the steam room following my meditation. I found the steam to be very therapeutic and while I was there I engaged in conversation with others. They remarked that I seemed very cheerful, and I felt quite good. I did note however that I didn’t feel quite as ecstatically happy as I had the day prior.

After the gym I went to the store and the receptionist made a comment that I seemed very happy. I went to another store after that for a different item and the receptionist there also remarked that I’d brightened her day. I feel very good, but I would say 9/10 today as opposed to the 11/10 that I felt yesterday.

Mostly feel normal after the gym. I did develop a headache around 2:00, but I’m very sure that it’s from the lack of caffeine, as I’ve taken time off of caffeine cold turkey before and felt exactly like I do now. Overall I feel good in the afternoon, but not quite as glowing as yesterday.

By 6pm (the time that I felt “normal happy” on day 1) I feel pretty normal. I do still have the headache, though not quite as pronounced, and I am absolutely sure that it’s from the lack of caffeine. I suspect that this will last for another day or two if I refrain from caffeine.

Nothing to note after 6pm.  I did meditate for a half hour before going to sleep, but I don’t feel that it was impacted by my micro dose.

Day 3:

I woke up early this morning because I need to adjust my sleep schedule in preparation for a long trail run tomorrow. I woke at 6, drank tea and took the micro dose at 7:30 along with my other supplements, and meditated for a half hour. The mediation was absolutely what I needed, and I’m finding that meditating twice a day is having a very big result on my life even where I doubt that the improvements are coming from the acid.

I again felt that slight nausea about a half hour after I took all my supplements and the micro-dose, but it wasn’t as pronounced and was quickly settled by eating a piece of toast. The caffeine withdrawal headache was also there today, but not as pronounced and did not seem to last as long.

I went to the gym again today, but once more, only to use the shower and steam room. I found myself to be more personable and engaged in a conversation with a stranger in the morning.

After the gym I received a phone call from someone from my past who I did not want to speak to, but I picked up the phone anyways. That sort of put a damper on my morning, but I won’t say that it led me to feel “bad” necessarily.

I feel at this time that after Week 1 I will be changing how often I take the micro dose. For week 2 I plan on taking it either every other day or 2 on/1 off as the effects are absolutely not as pronounced as they were when I took the micro dose on day 1.

Day 4:

I did not take a dose on this day. This was a very unusual day for me—its something that I do about once a year, but not more. I went to sleep on day 3 (with the assistance of a medication) at 6pm, and I woke up at 10:30pm to drive a couple of hours away. At 1:30am I started running on a trail and ran for 43 miles. It was a very exhausting day, but I didn’t want to be experimenting with micro dosing on this day, as I needed to prioritize the run itself. Also, considering that I was not feeling the effects as much on Day 3 as I had on day 1 or 2, and I have been doing more research that suggests taking days off throughout a micro dose schedule, I decided that this would be a good day to reset.

I would like to note that I would have liked to use the 7-8 micrograms consistently for an entire week, as I’d set out to do, just for the sake of a scientific approach to this little experiment of mine, but due to the abnormality of my activity yesterday, I had to take the day off.

I do not wish to comment on my feelings, emotions, mindset, outlook, or anything of the like. If yesterday had been just a “normal” off-day then I would have liked to take that day and remark on how I feel different after stopping the micro dose, but that was not the case, and as such, I’ll refrain from comment.

Day 5:

I awoke on this day extremely sore from the activity on the day prior. As I mentioned in my previous day report, I feel that there may be some residual after effect from such a long run still, and as such, I will keep my notes short for today.

I awoke at around 9:30, made tea, meditated for a half hour, and took my micro dose along with my other vitamins. I did not have the headache that I experienced in the first few days of my experiment, and this further confirms my theory that the headaches were from withdrawal from caffeine and not from the micro dosing.

I went to the gym on this morning, but I did not work out. I just used the steam room and hot tub for awhile. I did find that I was still more open, personable, and generally happier than normal. I’m still willing to accept that this could have been more a result of the run on the day prior and/or the placebo effect, but it’s still worth noting that I felt pleasant and social—more social than normal.

After the steam room I went on a six mile hike. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I would like to note that at no point since the first day of my micro dose experiment have I felt the radiant glow that I had on my first day of this micro dose experiment, but I have felt quite good throughout.

Following the hike I visited a friend and he had a lot of his friends over whom I did not know. Normally I would have not liked being around so many people who were strangers, but I found myself to be quite comfortable. At this point it was 6pm, so I would have expected that the micro dose would have “warn off,” but I do suspect that there could have been some afterglow effect, because—as I’ve noted—I felt very open and social. When I was there, the one friend who I went there to visit remarked that I was talking a bit more quickly than normal, and he joked, “how much acid did you take today?” He is actually the guy who I get my LSD from, and he is not only aware that I trip often, but that I’ve been micro dosing. I laughed and told him “not much.”

As I read through this last paragraph it makes it sound like my friend’s comment makes it sound like the effect may have been bad, but I do not and did not feel that way at all. If anything it made me remember that I am feeling a lot better lately and that I have been more energized and outgoing. Like I noted in the last paragraph though, this was more than 9 hours after I took my micro dose, so I’m skeptical that the dose would have contributed all that directly to my affectation that evening. I think that it had more to do with afterglow and he big-picture effect that the micro dosing has had on me.

At the end of the day I had a massage, something that I wish that I could do more often, but that I rarely do because of cost. That said, due to my soreness from the day prior I felt like I needed a massage. The massage itself was adequate at best, but I enjoyed it and found it to be relaxing. I also engaged in a very good conversation with the front desk workers at the establishment. This was like the other conversations that I’ve been engaging in lately—I felt more open to these strangers and it was a very good talk.

I went to sleep late that night and I did skip my meditation—although I don’t think that I realized that I’d skipped it until this morning.

Day 6:

I awoke, ate two pieces of toast, tea, and my micro dose with my vitamins. I had a meeting with an old friend that I needed to run to, so I only had a short amount of time to meditate. I intended to sit and meditate for just ten minutes, but when I opened my eyes and checked the clock, I’d been there for almost twenty minutes. It was a very soothing meditation.

Following my mediation I went to a public park and met with this old friend. I had not seen her in over a year (absolutely no romantic connection—she’s more of a friend of the family kind of person), and we had an absolutely fantastic time walking around through the trees and conversing. There was one moment while we were sitting in the sun and reminiscing about our pasts where I almost felt like I could tell that I’d micro dosed that day. As before, it hasn’t been like tripping at all, but I could feel that *something* was there. The best that I can do is describe it as a general glow all around me and around her. We spent two hours together, and it was absolutely wonderful catching up with her. I told her about my micro dosing (she’s aware of my being a psychedelic person) and she said that I seemed especially happy and positive lately.

From there I went to lunch, then to a tea shop to sit and write where I remained until near sunset. At sunset I traveled to a nearby trailhead and took some pictures. By this point I don’t think that I felt any direct effect from the micro dose, but I was still in a pleasant mood.

I ended my day downtown with a friend. We went to a bar that I normally would not have wanted to visit, but I did want to catch up with her, and we had a very pleasant conversation. I do note that I felt more comfortable there than I probably would have on a normal day and the conversation flowed quite naturally—more so than normal.

I wanted to meditate at the end of the day, but I was extremely tired when I got home because we were out quite late. I slept very soundly. Normally my roommate wakes me when he gets home because my room is right next to our squeaky front door, but I didn’t even wake when he came in. At this point I’m still having very vivid dreams every night, but I suspect that this is all from the lack of cannabis and has little or nothing to do with the micro dosing. I do however want to note that the little bit of daily acid is not preventing me from sleeping at all.

Day 7:

I awoke a bit earlier than normal, made tea, meditated for twenty minutes, and went to the gym after taking my vitamins and micro dose. My workout was very, very good and it felt good to be back in the weight room after taking a few days off to recover from the long run that I went on three days ago.

After the gym my mood was noticeably elevated, but I suspect that this could have easily have been from the workout itself and not a result of the micro dose.

I fill my supplements on each Sunday, and before the gym I filled everything for the upcoming week. My plan for the upcoming week is to take the micro dose on a 2-on/1-off schedule. So I will not be taking the micro dose tomorrow (Monday), will take it Tuesday and Wednesday, will take Thursday off, and will take it Friday and Saturday, taking another day off next Sunday. At the end of today I plan to write a shorter version of the report that is listed above—sort of like an end-of-week synopsis which will make it easier to compare each week’s results since I am changing my dose and regimen moving forward to try and find what works most optimally. After next week I am planning to continue with a 2-on/1-off schedule, but I’ll take twice the dose on the second consecutive day. In other words, on Monday I’ll take 8 micrograms, on Tuesday I’ll take 16 micrograms, on Wednesday I’ll take the day off, and on Thursday I’ll repeat, probably taking Sunday off to (hopefully) reset my tolerance completely, or at least as close to completely as possible within that two day period.

I attended an hour long group meditation in the afternoon and, once again, found myself being more social than normal and meeting people at this group which I’ve attended for years but normally keep to myself during.

In the evening, before going to sleep, I decided that there would be no better way to finish my first week of this micro dosing experiment than by smoking DMT. I have smoked DMT twice in the last year, but only once (nearly a year ago) did I fully break through. That said, before last year I smoked DMT quite a lot—as much as once a week during one stint. It’s just fallen out of my life.

The trip was very intense, more than I was expecting, but also very positive. I will not say that I “fully” broke through, as I was still aware of my self, but I’d say that I was 90% there, which was actually a bit deeper than I was aiming for. After the DMT I meditated silently for a few minutes and went to sleep. As has been the case throughout this week, I slept very soundly and woke feeling refreshed.

End of Week 1:
• Morning of day 1 felt the most profound effects. I do wonder if this has to do with tolerance built up after the first day.
• I do not advise starting a micro dose experiment and quitting caffeine cold-turkey on the same day, as this led me to falsely believe at the time that I was getting headaches and nausea from the micro-dose. These negative effects faded within three days, as they normally do after I quick caffeine.
• I found myself to be far more open, talkative, happy, social, and able to focus than I felt before starting the micro dose experiment.
• Two or three times during the week I sort of could feel the micro dose. I cannot put my finger on what that feeling was, but I could feel it there in those moments. It was nothing at all like tripping, but I could feel the effect. The best description that I can give is to say that I felt a radiating glow around me. I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s the best I can do.
• At this point I’m most curious about a 2-on/1-off schedule with 8 micrograms on the first day, 16 micrograms on the second day, and then the third day off, and repeat.
• I felt hesitation taking the micro dose on the first two days, but at this point I feel absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, because the effects were so subtle if not altogether intangible.
• I’m excited to micro dose at a heavier dose.
• I am a huge proponent of micro dosing after this week, and I feel that there’s just more to come. My only regret is not starting this sooner.

Week 2
Day 1:

I have taken today off. Tomorrow I plan to take my normal 8 microgram dose in the morning, with hopes that today has reset my tolerance.

I would like to note that at no point today did I feel withdrawal, that anything was lacking, or a negative effect from taking the day off the micro dose. I suspect that the articles and research that I’ve followed are right in saying that the overall effect of the micro dose is more on a macroscopic (multi day) picture as opposed to the effects that the user experiences in the 9 hours following ingestion of the micro dose.

Overall today was a positive day that was absolutely on par with the preceding week.

Day 2:

Brief Overview: Overall it was a good day. Woke up, meditated, micro dosed, went to the gym, and then went to work. The day was pleasant, and I felt myself overall with a somewhat elevated mood as compared to before the experiment started. I also continued to find myself being more open and social in public places. At no point did I feel a directly tangible effect from the micro dose, but the day was overall quite pleasant. I’m looking forward to upping the dose to 16 micrograms next week.

Day 3:

Awoke and skipped the gym today. Micro dosed and meditated. The meditation was somewhat restless at first, but I settled into it nicely by the end. Spent the morning running errands and studying for an upcoming exam that I’ll be taking in December. I found my ability to focus on the study material to be somewhat enhanced, but not in an overly notable way. Headed to work close to one o’clock. The day at work was quite pleasant. Even though I’m working on a job right now that isn’t exactly “fun” I’ve found my attitude towards the work to be positive and uplifted. When I am not at work I am continuing to find myself happier than normal and most notably, quite social. I’ve met more people in the last two weeks than the preceding two months before this micro dose experiment began.

Day 4:

I would like to note at this time that I will not be going as deep into my reports moving forward. I’m finding that they’re pretty consistent day to day, even on my days that I’m not taking the micro dose. I will instead focus on noting anything that is outside of what I’ve already observed, any changes to the micro dose schedule, and end-of-week summaries.

Of note, today my workout was especially good, and I’m finding my endurance and stamina at the gym to be increasing. Also, my focus on the workouts is especially heightened. Although I have been attending this same gym for a number of years now, I know almost nobody who works or attends there. For the most part I have always kept to myself and stayed anti-social. In the past two weeks however, I’ve felt like a different person and I’ve socialized with at least a half dozen (maybe as many as a dozen) people at my gym whom I’ve seen consistently for years but never introduced myself to. It’s been really wonderful, and I even set up a meeting with one of the personal trainers, as I’m presently preparing to seek professional certification as a personal trainer in the coming months, and I wanted the opportunity to speak with someone in the field about that work. In the past I never would have been able to bring myself to do this, and it even felt kind of weird, considering that most people at my gym know me as the anti-social guy. Several people have even seemed surprised when I sparked up a conversation with them in the preceding couple of weeks. It’s felt great.

After work today I went to buy some new shoes and a couple of shirts and again found myself happily engaged with several people at the mall—I don’t want to give the impression that I’m just some weirdo now who goes around talking to strangers and acting super awkward/strange. On the contrary, it’s more of my happy, glowing disposition that has brought people into conversation. It’s as often them who start the conversation as me.

Following the mall I went to a local restaurant chain and was again happy and bubbly. There’s a girl there who I see almost every time I go there and we have developed great rapport, especially since I started micro dosing; I guess that I’ve just felt more comfortable talking with her, as opposed to before when I would have been too shy to talk to her because pretty girls have always intimidated me in the past. For some reason, when I checked out, my bill was only $1.44 when it’s supposed to be closer to ten or fifteen dollars. She said don’t worry about it, and that my burrito was on the house today. I said thank you and gave what would have been the normal cost of my meal as a tip. While I was eating she walked up to me and gave me her number. Holy shit—if I’d known micro dosing would result in that, I would have started this experiment A LOT earlier!

Day 5:

Today the cold that I had became just a bit worse. It really sucked, but I can’t blame that on the micro dose. What I will note is that even though I was uncomfortable and unhappy with the fact that I had to deal with a cold, I still managed to keep my spirit pretty high. I still went into work (work being helping my buddy move his business to a new location), and I was generally in a good mood despite the cold that was slowing me down.

I don’t have much else to note on this day.

Day 6:

I slept in today in hopes of getting the cold to settle down a bit, and this seems to have helped. Last night I popped a Xanax and zonked out heavily, so the sleep must have made a big difference. I had a few errands to run after cleaning the house, and I felt just a bit rushed and panicked because I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to get them done in time to go out on the hike that I had planned for the evening, but I was able to do so. I think that the panic/anxiety came more from the lingering cold and having free time on my hands (this sort of thing always bothers me) than it did to do with the micro dose.

In the afternoon I went on a hike that I’ve been planning for a few days. Usually at this time of year all the mountains around here have snow on them, but snow has held off much later than normal this year, so I decided that I wanted to climb the highest mountain in the area and take some pictures during the sunset. I was a bit hesitant being that I just got over that cold (it did pass quite quickly though), and it was still lingering just a bit, but still decided to pack up my gear and head out.

The hike felt absolutely great. My legs felt strong, and I covered the miles much more quickly than I was planning. It felt amazing to be on trail. I don’t know if it was just the fact that I was on trail that was making me feel so good or if this morning’s micro dose contributed, but I had an amazing time. The sunset was nothing short of spectacular. I have gone up there to trip acid one time about two months ago, and this felt similar in that the views were spectacular, but I did not feel like I was tripping. I just felt like I was in a clear and beautiful natural place. I watched the sunset, caught some amazing pictures, and hiked down by headlamp. The stars were absolutely beautiful.

After the hike I drove 1.5 hours away to another spot that I would be hiking the following day. I grabbed a beer at the local gas station and popped a Xanax (I don’t eat Xanax that often, despite my last three day’s reports, but I don’t sleep well in my car and I had a long day ahead of me with an early start, so I used that to help me sleep). I didn’t sleep all that well, but I got a few hours of sleep. I woke up at 6am and drove to catch the sunrise at an overlook where the trail starts.

I spent the remainder of the day trail running. This was my “off day” from the micro dose, but I felt amazing. I think that all the life changes combined have been what have really done it for me. It’s not just been the micro dosing, but also the meditation, removing caffeine, quitting pot, exercising more regularly and more focused, and of course, the micro dose too. The trail I ran is about 15 miles round trip with about 5,000 feet of elevation loss and gain. It’s a very intense trail, but I felt amazing. I broke my personal best run time by 13 minutes. The PR that I set was more than five years ago. I note this primarily to show that the micro dosing has not affected my ability to focus or work out with intensity. Also, my “off days” do not feel like off days. I do not go into any sort of depression or feel the need to dose on my off days.

Today is the last day of my two weeks of 2-3 days on/1 day off with 7-8 micrograms. Tomorrow will be the start of week 3 and I will change the agenda just a bit. Being that today was my off day, tomorrow I will take the normal 7-8 micrograms, and the following day I will take 14-16 micrograms, and on the third day I will take zero, then restart that. I’m very curious (dare I say “excited”?) to try doubling the dose. I suspect that my fourth week I may try a 1 on/1 off with 14-16 micrograms if everything goes well this coming week.

End of Week 2:
• Much of what I found last week continues into this week.
• Elevated mood. I may say that my mood has been more stable than normal, which is not what I would have expected from this experiment, but I’m extremely pleased with the results.
• Still having difficulty deciding which affects I’m feeling from the micro dose and which I’m feeling from the other changes in my life: daily mediation, removal of caffeine and cannabis, cleaned up diet and exercise program, and heavy vitamin supplementation.
• The acute effects of the micro dose are not really noticeable. I say “not really” only because I have felt (in both week 1 and week 2) about 3-5 instances throughout the week where something was there, but it was not in any way, shape, or form like “tripping.” It was more like a general glow that I felt and an ability to really focus in on things. Otherwise the effects seem to be macroscopic.
• Catching a cold this week did affect my ability to really hone in on my perception of the dose as compared to the month(s) leading up to this experiment.
• I’m very much looking forward to upping the dose in the coming week.

---
Week 3

Note: I will be changing the regimen this week. In the past two weeks I have done 2 days on/1 day off with a 7-8 microgram dose during my “on days.” For the third week I will again do two days on and one day off, but during the second “on day” I will double the dose to 14-16 micrograms.

Day 1: Overall today was a typical, but good day. There was nothing really noteworthy to remark on. I did have a good meeting with a work-related professional about development of my future career with a company that I’m interested in joining. I note this because, although this was a fairly formal, and very important meeting for me, the fact that I had “dosed” LSD only two hours prior did not have any impact on the meeting that could be truly felt. As I’ve found in the preceding weeks, the effect was just that I have an elevated mood, a bit more energy, and I find myself a bit more open and social than I was before beginning the experiment.

I went and helped my friend with some manual labor for the remainder of the day until well after sunset. It was late enough when I arrived home that I was too tired to even meditate. I just brushed my teeth and fell asleep. My sleep was slightly restless, but not concerning so.

Throughout the day I found myself excited to try the double-dose of 14-16 micrograms that I’ll be beginning on Day 2 of this week.

Day 2: I was slightly tired throughout the day, likely due to a very heavy workout yesterday morning, from the work that I did to help out my friend throughout the day, and my somewhat restless night last night.

It was slightly nerve-wracking to be taking twice the dose today, but I would really just compare it to the apprehension that I felt at the beginning of this whole experiment. After I took my dose I had a light breakfast, took my other supplements/vitamins, and meditated for twenty minutes. I found that my mind was notably more active during the meditation than I has been normally. I’m not sure if this was because of a higher micro dose that I took within the hour before my meditation or if it’s just because I have a lot on my agenda in the coming week; it was maybe a little bit of both, but I’m curious to see if I have this slight trouble with meditation when I again take the 14-16 microgram micro dose on day 5 of this week.

Following my mediation I went to the gym and did light cardio for 50 minutes. I wanted to get to an hour, but I was tired and a bit hungry, likely more to do with the activity from yesterday than anything to do with the micro dose. Also, I suspect that the slight lack of sleep may have contributed to this.

After my workout I went to a local bookstore and studied for about five hours. My mind was a bit scattered during the study, but not so much that I found it to be concerning. I suspect this has more to do with the things that I have going on in the coming weeks than the micro dose.

Overall, I did not *really* feel like the double dose today had a major impact beyond what I observed from the 7-8 microgram dose that I’ve been working with in the preceding weeks. There were one or two moments though the day that I felt that unnamable something I can’t put my finger on, but that’s the same thing that I’ve felt just about as regularly on the lower dose.

I’m going to try and meditate tonight and go to sleep a bit earlier than last night. Tomorrow will be my “off day” from the micro dose.

Before going to sleep I meditated for 20 minutes, but before doing so I took a .5mg Xanax. The Xanax kicked tangibly right at the last five minutes of my meditating. I found that my focus in the evening meditation was stronger than during my scatter-brained morning meditation. I felt very tired throughout much of the day and needed to get a good night sleep—which is why I took the Xanax. I fell asleep quickly and slept soundly throughout the night. I woke feeling much more refreshed on the third day of the week.

Day 3: Today was the first day in the last couple of weeks that I’ve skipped my morning meditation. I awoke, drank tea, read through some emails, and cooked about 30 pancakes (I freeze them and eat two in the morning so that I don’t have to cook breakfast every day—I just throw them in the toaster oven out of the freezer). I considered meditation, but considering that I slept in (in addition to falling asleep early thanks to the Xanax) and after cooking for almost an hour, the day was getting somewhat late.

I felt much more rested today and my thoughts were more collected than yesterday. At this time I suspect that this has a lot more to do with the good night’s rest than the fact that I had a double-dose of the LSD yesterday. I am interested in continuing with this 14-16 microgram dose though. After this week of following the cycle that I’ve described above, I think that next week I will do a 2 days on/1 day off schedule using 14-16 micrograms for all of my “on days.”

I had a positive workout at around noon and studied throughout the remainder of the day for a certification that I’m presently working towards. The only thing really worth noting is what I’ve already stated, which is that my thoughts were a bit more collected today, but I do think that this has most to do with sleep.

I am beginning to have more difficulty with noting about my micro dose experiment now that I am into the third week. Much of the “effects” I feel like are hard to differentiate from who I feel like I am just in an ordinary state. This is not however to say that this is how I felt before my micro dose experiment began. At this point I feel generally more happy, focused, goal oriented, and able to stick to conviction than I felt before starting this experiment. As I’ve stated before however, it’s hard to know what effects are from the micro dose and what effects are from the other major changes that I’ve made in my life in conjunction with the micro dose. I suspect that quitting cannabis has at least as much of a positive effect on me at this time as the micro dose effect itself.

Tonight I will absolutely mediate for 20 minutes before going to sleep, but I do hope to get to bed early and I hope that taking a Xanax last night does not make it difficult for me to sleep tonight.

Day 4:

I slept very, very soundly last night following meditation. I am trying to avoid my phone completely between meditation and going to sleep, and I feel that this does make a difference. I had very vivid dreams and remembered them very clearly upon awaking on Day 4. I started having these vivid dreams immediately upon discontinuing the use of cannabis, but I did not expect that they would last as long as they have. I am considering keeping a dream journal.

In the morning I woke up and made breakfast with tea and took my supplements including my 7-8 microgram dose. At this point I would be comfortable just going straight into the plan for next week (which is 2 days on/1 day off with 14-16 micrograms on each “on day,” but I want to stick with the plan as I set it out at the start of the month.

At this time I also believe that 2 weeks on is building up a tolerance to the dose. I think that after this month I will work in more off days, but I want to finish out this month for the sake of comparison of subjective observations.

My morning meditation went well today. Tomorrow will be my 14-16 microgram dose, and I’m curious to see if I find my thoughts to be scattered during meditation as I found on Day 1 of this week.

I went to the gym after my meditation and spent the remainder of the day studying (more or less). I still find myself to be more happy in general, more sociable, and generally more optimistic.

I believe that my body is getting a bit exhausted from my workout routine, so I suspect that I will take tomorrow off from the gym and finish off the week on Saturday. Next week I will not be attending the gym, as I will be out backpacking. Although I feel at this point that I would benefit most from taking next week off of micro dosing (as I find the effects diminishing significantly at this point), I wish to complete the month which is what I set out to do.

Day 5:

Overall today was a normal day. I meditated in the morning, but skipped my evening meditation on account of needing to get to sleep early. The morning meditation started out a bit scatter-brained, as I observed on my first day (day 2 of this week) on 14-16 micrograms, but by the end of the twenty minutes of meditation, I found my thoughts to be fairly normal in comparison with my other days of mediation.

The day following my meditation was not noteworthy in any way. I skipped my workout to get some extra rest and spent most of the day working. The project that I was working on involved construction work and was overall quite frustrating for both myself and my partner, but I’m quite confident that this had to do with our inexperience in the task, and I did not notice any effects from the micro dose.

I went to sleep early (skipping my evening meditation) so that I could get up early the next day.

Overall, this was not a noteworthy day in terms of the micro dose experiment.

Day 6:

I was awoken several times last night by my roommate, even though I went to sleep early. I actually ended up having to go out and sleep in my car, which was quite infuriating since he knew I had to be up early in the morning. I had very vivid dreams that were hard to differentiate from reality, but I don’t think that this had to do with the micro dosing.

I awoke very tired when my alarm went off, and I was quite upset about having to sleep in my car. That said, I still managed to take the time to meditate for around a half hour in the morning before going to the gym.

My workout was extremely intense, and I found myself channeling a lot of my anger into the workout, which was very satisfactory and rewarding.

I spent the remainder of the day with a friend, and then studying for the exam that I have in a couple of months. I was quite tired towards the end of the day, but didn’t really feel any different from normal.

I am noting at this point that the micro dose days are not feeling notably different from the off days. This further illustrates my belief that a tolerance has built up and that the effects have diminished. I am, at this point, considering halting the micro dose experiment at the end of this week to reset my tolerance. I’m also considering finishing off this week (and the preceding three weeks) with a full acid trip. I have not committed to doing so yet, but I’m leaning towards going on a long hike tomorrow and dropping a full tab of LSD at the start of the hike. I’m especially curious to compare the effects of one tab of acid following these three weeks of micro dosing with the last time I dropped one tab of this acid prior to the micro dosing. Now that I feel that I have built a tolerance to the micro doses, I wonder if this will impact a full dose. Just to be safe, if I do decide to trip, I’ll bring a few extra tabs and possibly take more than one if the effects are substantively diminished.

Day 7:

Today will be my last daily report about my micro dosing experiment. I will absolutely not be discontinuing the use of this practice—just the daily journals about it. As I move forward I may or may not take brief notes as I continue to experiment with frequency and dose, but no more daily notes. It’s just a bit too exhausting. That said, moving forward, I plan to experiment with using the micro doses less often and probably at a higher dose (possibly exploring up to 25-30 micrograms.

I woke up this morning after a very solid night’s rest. I decided to go ahead and have a full acid trip (though be it only a single full tab) for a couple of reasons: 1) because I wanted to have an acid trip, and 2) because I wanted to see if the last three weeks of micro dosing has affected my overall tolerance to LSD. I have taken one tab of this acid before within the last couple of months, and so I repeated the same dose (one tab) today to compare effects.

I dropped the tab at 9am and hiked about 25 miles, up a very high mountain and into snow fields. It was a day of beautiful weather and turned out to be an absolutely spectacular acid trip. Although I suspected at first that the trip was slightly diminished as compared to the last time I took this acid, but the end of the day, I feel that if there was any tolerance build up, it was only of about 15%. The trip itself was light, but also pronounced. Visuals were not intense, but introspection was very nice and I just found everything to be unbelievably beautiful everywhere I looked. I was going to redose half way through the day, but at that point another guy started hiking with me (some stranger whom I’d never met today, but he was headed in the same direction as me) so I decided to refrain. I figured that it would have been a bit weird if I was just like, “Yeah, man; feel free to hike with me for a few miles. Just hold on a minute while I take some more LSD.”

The acid trip duration was completely standard and I’m actually a bit surprised that after three weeks of micro dosing 2 out of every 3 days, I did not develop a heavy tolerance.

I plan, moving forward, to take a couple of days off (possibly up to a week—we will see how I’m feeling) to try and reset whatever tolerance I have built up (mostly from today’s trip). After that I think that I will start doing a 1 on 1 off cycle of 14-16 micrograms, and consider moving up into the 20-25 microgram range if all goes well.

End of Week 3:
• I continued to find the same basic effects during this third week as I found during my first and second weeks.
• I did feel the effects to be slightly diminished on this third week, but I am not able to say if this is because I’m just becoming used to the effects or if it’s because a tolerance was built up over time.
• Upon dosing a full tab of acid on the final day of this experiment, I found a perceived tolerance build up of about 15% as compared to the last time I took a single tab of this acid.
• Moving forward I plan to try a 1 on 1 off cycle starting with 14-16 micrograms for all of my “on days.”
• Looking ahead still, I would like to experiment with micro doses up to 30 micrograms.
---

Conclusions:

• Any reservations that I had about micro dosing have 100% been alleviated during this experiment. My only regret is that I did not try this earlier.
• I found myself to be more social, able to focus more on the macroscopic picture of my life, more able to stick to convictions (discontinuing cannabis, caffeine, meditating daily, and severely reducing my alcohol consumption).
• The micro dosing did not have any negative impact on my physical exercise routine; if anything my workouts may have been enhanced.
• I almost never felt any direct effects from the micro dosing except an elevated mood and slight stimulation. The effects were in the big picture in terms of how they affected me over the course of the day/week.
• I will be continuing with the use of micro dosing moving forward in my life and
• The use of micro dosing did not seem to build a noticeable tolerance to LSD. When I had a full acid trip at the end of my three weeks of micro dosing, I felt the full effects of the trip, with only a possible reduction of 10-15%.
• I do not see any reason whatsoever to stop, except to reset my tolerance completely.

Hello,

Just curious to know if you kept microdosing and, if so, if you noticed changes at a bigger scale. Interesting journal.

Thanks,
Rui
