Microdosing with James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber

Microdosing involves taking very small amounts of psychedelic
substances such as LSD or psilocybin, maybe seven to twelve
percent of a regular dose. It’s not enough to “trip out” but
enough, proponents say, to yield very positive results,
especially in terms of treating depression that hasn’t responded
well to other methods. The catalog of extensive clinical,
scientific trials about the practice of microdosing is pretty
limited but James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber have collected what
scientific material there is plus a great number of anecdotal
reports in their new book, Microdosing for Health, Healing,
and Enhanced Performance. They tell us about the potential of
microdosing for mental health, migraines, long covid, and
athletics.
