In the article here: http://www.themorningnews.org/article/the-heretic Dr. Fadiman talks about micro-dosing with LSD. This piqued my interest and I decided to give it a try. I happened to have some LSD laying around.

I decided to try a 10 micro-gram dose per day for 15 days, at which point I will stop.

In order to measure out 10ug, I took one 150ug blotter, placed it into a chlorine free 20oz bottle of water and shook violently. I then used a measuring tape to mark off 15 equal sections of water. This is not precise, but has worked well thus far. I let the Blotter sit in the bottle overnight, and then shook violently again the following morning before my first dose. The last time I ingested LSD before this experience was about 60 days ago.

What follows are my logs over the first 48 hours and change, I will continue to log for the next 13 days.

638a 10ug taken

735a traffic was bad. Want to think I feel something. Maybe tricking myself

800a ok so I definitely feel some elation, and feeling quite social

946a energy levels are much higher than usual, warm feeling all over, texture and color seem more apparent. spent some time staring intently at a wall to determine if there were any minor hallucinations, but nothing

624p so things got busy at work and I forgot about my little experiment for a while, suffice it to say there have been no negative consequences thus far. The first thing I thought when I walked in the door, was that I wanted to take another sip, that if 10ug made me feel this good, what would 20ug do? Well I'm not going to do that. Going for a walk at 730 with someone, will update after.

714p I noticed some tracers from my phone's screen in a poorly lit hallway. I generally see them anyway, this was more pronounced than usual, but not intense.

930p walk was pretty normal, good walk, good talk, none of which concerned psychedelics, shower afterward seemed very awesome, a lot more awesome than a shower usually does. Time for a sandwich and bedtime.

641a my morning sip was a little larger than it should have been, about 15ug taken

758a made it to work, traffic was horrible and I was driving rather aggressively. Then all of a sudden had the realization that we were all flowing in the the same stream :D however I find my office's lack of milk disturbing

1001a my usual time killers (reddit, watching sc2 matches) are quite un-entertaining today I'm going to try doing something creative

126p after doing some serious problem solving at work I've noticed that different angles and approaches seem to be apparent rather than elusive

437p overall today I can only describe myself a hyper (not like caffeine, but like I'm super excited) and absolutely elated.

626p ab muscle spasms while driving home from work today, slight, but noticeable

723p sitting in a white room, when people move, can see silhouettes of where they just were that linger

621a Holy vivid dreams batman! I've been a student of /r/LucidDreaming for a while, only been successful a few times. Last night I was not lucid but i remember what seems like days worth of experience. Tonight I will try to become lucid.

642a 10ug taken...

In summary, micro-dosing seems to greatly enhance my mood and energy levels I have also found it significantly more easy to perform tasks that I usually procrastinate. It has also seemed to make time pass more slowly. I seem to be able to accomplish a greater number of things during the same interval as previously. During this experiment I have not ingested any coffee, but have been drinking some mild black tea daily, which is on par with my normal self. I work in a highrise building for a large corporation in my city, and no one over the course of this has asked me if i was feeling OK, or as far as I know had any other indication that I was acting strange or unusual. I also have a 30-40 minute commute in heavy traffic and have not noticed any reduced reaction time or extra risk taking. I have however noticed a tendency to be more apathetic and less aggressive in my driving.

I'll respond to as many questions as I can. So AMA.
