Any indie hackers taking part in the micro-dosing trend?

I don't think this is an actual trend.

Anyway, instead of trying to find the magic productivity pill try mastering the basics that we actually know work:

A. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night
B. Eating a well balanced diet that is low in sugar and processed carbohydrates.
C. Getting in some moderate intensity exercise a couple times a week.

Heard generally positive things about it, probably would try if I had a source, are there non-sketchy ways to get it these days?

I'm a fan, for so many reasons. I don't advocate doing anything every day, but I think a couple of times a month micro-dosing (with shrooms) can really, really make a difference in how you show up in the world. I have friends who've come out of seasonal depression this way. I think you just feel more connected to the world around you, in a good way. I have hopes that micro-dosing will help humanity find solutions to some of our most pressing problems.

People see "psychedelic drugs" and think it's Burning Man at your standing desk.

That's not microdosing.

I've microdosed a few times. It's always been a mild, pleasant experience. I even ran a half-marathon after microdosing and I beat my PR by 5 minutes.

I don't need this for work, so I don't do it. But if it helps people and it doesn't hurt anyone, I say go for it. There've been countless studies showing the benefits of psychedelics for people with addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc.

Wondering about indie hackers' experiences with micro-dosing. I've long been interested, mostly because of the enhanced creativity and out-of-the-box thinking reported. But also because of the potential to treat depression. Anyone have experience with this or have friends that do so regularly?

I’m personally done using psychedelics. I used them often while in college and pushed the limits of them. I don’t remember my experiences on them and in hindsight I’m not sure I really got much out of them, but if you had asked me at the time what I thought about them I would have probably parroted some pro-psychedelic philosophy.

These days I’m done with psychedelics. They take you out of your current frame of thought, which I guess at certain times can be entertaining but these days I’d just get paranoid.

Stick to pot.
