LSD Microdosing Gaining Popularity For Silicon Valley Professionals (rollingstone.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Rolling Stone reports that an unusual new trend is popping up around the offices of Silicon Valley companies: taking tiny doses of LSD or other psychedelic drugs to increase productivity. "A microdose is about a tenth of the normal dose – around 10 micrograms of LSD, or 0.2-0.5 grams of mushrooms." According to the article, the average user is a 20-something looking to improve their creativity and problem-solving skills. Some users report that the LSD alleviates other problems, like anxiety or cluster headaches. That said, it's important to note that such benefits are not supported by scientific research — yet.
"Have you ever tried LSD? "
No, and I never will. Only an idiot would sacrifice their mental health for a few hours of tripping.
They're using microdoses of LSD to act as a stimulative similar to caffeine.
Because coffee is too pedestrian for these overpaid douchebags who are too special to use a coffee maker. And if they did use a coffee maker, it would have to be a $5,000 espresso machine because the $15 Mr Coffee is beneath them.
And this story doesn't even scratch the surface of their self-deluded and self-absorbed transhumanist fantasies.
You are welcome on my lawn.
