There are some who have started microdosing LSD, but LSD is an illicit substance and has been banned in the U.S. for decades. Since the 1960s, people have been abusing hallucinogenic drugs like LSD for recreational and creative purposes. Since the 1970s, LSD has been illegal and is classified as a schedule one substance. Substances that are classified in the schedule one category are considered devoid of any medicinal benefits.

Recently, microdosing LSD has made headlines because tech workers in Silicon Valley believe that microdosing on LSD can increase productivity and creative output. The practice of microdosing has become popular in recent years, and scientists and medical researchers are starting to conduct microdosing trials on the safety and usefulness of the practice.

What is LSD?

LSD stands for lysergic acid diethylamide. Often, it is referred to as “acid.” A synthetic drug, LSD has been around since the 1960s. When it is abused in large quantities, it will produce powerful visual hallucinations, and also influence the user’s perception of time, and their sense of identity. Abusing LSD will also cause delusions in varying degrees, which can be dangerous.

Most of the time, LSD is purchased in a liquid form, or it is applied to blotter papers or gelatin squares and referred to as “stamps.” Sometimes, acid drops are placed into sugar cubes, and the drug is ingested that way because the drug has a strong, bitter taste.

An estimated 20 million people in the U.S. have abused LSD at least once in their lives. The age group most at-risk of abusing acid are people between the ages of 18 and 25. Young people will use acid as a way to experiment.

Abusing acid is risky because the effects of taking the drug are incredibly unpredictable. It is produced illegally, and it’s impossible for users to know precisely how much LSD is in each dose. It’s also difficult for users to gauge the amount of acid they are taking if it is purchased as a blotter or sugar cube. Also, the user’s personality, their surroundings, expectations, and mood can all influence the effects the substance will have on them.

Some people who use acid will experience extremely negative feelings and may become afraid or see horrifying things while high. It’s also impossible for someone to know what they will do when they are high on acid. People can become injured or even die while under the influence of such a powerful hallucinogenic substance.

The chemical compounds in LSD can also be stored in the user’s body for a long time after they’ve used acid. It is possible for the user to have a hallucinogenic flashback. In a minority of LSD users, some will go on to develop a chronic mental health condition with psychotic features, such as psychotic depression, severe bipolar mania, and even schizophrenia.

LSD is not considered an addictive substance. The drug does not rewire the brain’s risk-reward neural pathways like other addictive substances. But, an LSD user can develop a tolerance to acid and start taking more of the drug than initially intended to get the desired, hallucinogenic effect, which can be dangerous.

What is microdosing?

Microdosing is the act of taking minimal amounts of LSD to produce small changes in function, without altering a person’s perception.

What does microdosing claim to treat?

Microdosing enthusiasts claim that microdosing on LSD can produce a range of therapeutic effects, including reduced pain, increased creativity, focus, and mood. However, there is little research on these effects.

What are the concerns and side effects regarding microdosing on LSD?

The problem with microdosing is, LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs are illegal, and it’s impossible for users to know exactly how well, or not-so-well, a microdose is working to alleviate certain issues. All anyone has to go on at this time are anecdotes and conjecture. But, what is known are the adverse effects of using LSD.

When someone uses a hallucinogenic drug like LSD, they are taking an unnecessary roll of the dice. It’s possible for someone to have a mind-blowing, pleasant experience. But in many cases, using LSD will make someone paranoid and afraid. Taking LSD alone without a sober person present can also increase the risk of someone having an accident, or putting themselves or others in harm’s way.

There are some studies currently taking place on the usefulness of LSD microdosing, but these are in their infancy. It’s also impossible for a user to know if taking LSD is going to trigger an underlying mental health condition that they are predisposed to. While it’s understandable that people might need to increase their productivity and creativity, and also want to alleviate their pain, there are safer ways to do this until the research on LSD becomes more robust.

What are some alternatives to microdosing LSD?

The research on CBD’s effectiveness for alleviating pain, anxiety, depression, and PTSD has been established. CBD is also safer to use than LSD, and it won’t impair a person’s perception or ability to function. It’s possible for someone to microdose on CBD throughout the day to get the effects of the product over several hours. Vaping CBD is usually the most effective way to microdose the supplement. Vaping is also a discreet way to microdose CBD while in public. Users can purchase disposable, pre-filled vape pens to get started with CBD microdosing, or use CBD cartridges and create their own CBD formula.

Vaping allows users to get a dose of CBD quickly since the product can bypass the digestive system and get straight into the bloodstream through the lungs. For people with chronic pain issues, microdosing CBD allows them to stay on top of the pain, and get relief quickly, so the pain does not increase. People with anxiety issues or PTSD may also benefit from microdosing CBD when symptoms are at their most severe.
