Summary:
- This article discusses the potential benefits of microdosing, the practice of taking small, sub-perceptual doses of psychedelic drugs like LSD or psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), for treating depression.
- While some studies have suggested that microdosing can improve mood and cognitive function, the article notes that the scientific evidence is still limited and inconclusive. The effects of microdosing appear to be comparable to the effects of drinking coffee.
- The article highlights the need for more rigorous, large-scale clinical trials to better understand the potential therapeutic uses of psychedelics, as well as the risks and long-term effects of microdosing.
