Microdosing is taking off in my office, do you? Have you?

It seems to be Adderall floating around the BD pool, and I'm happy with that.

Some of the guys on the AE side are hitting the shrooms though, claiming it helps them stay focused, energized, and creative in pitches and demos.

Should this be encouraged or discouraged?

Key bumps don't count folks.

Pick your poison.

I microdose on self loathing, really gives you that little boost to get that extra dial in.

Minimal evidence of effectiveness, non-medical setting/supervision of use, potential for harm, etc.

Yea I'm at a loss for a professional use case.

Do whatever you want on your own time legalize everything, whatever, as long as you don't hurt anyone though.

Microdosing (and I mean MICRO haha) entirely changed my life last year. That's great that it's not for you, but it could be life changing for millions of others...and much safer than whatever they're putting in prescription pills these days.

coffee is a stimulant, so I consider it a focus analog... also cocaine

Microdosing isn't getting high.

Depending on any substance for your performance, naturally occurring or otherwise is not something I would encourage. This is not to say that I disapprove of microdosing.

I don't recommend mushrooms as a party drug. I find the psychadelic experience is much more profound and transformative as well as better for a "reset" if done alone in the dark.

I mean I love mushrooms, and if they are using them outside of working hours, I don't see why this is a question. I've eaten a lot of mushrooms in my life and anyone that says it helps with focusing on work after eating them is a flat-out liar. Definitely can help with anxiety and depression, so if that is taking your focus away from what's important then it makes sense, but if they are eating real psilocybin to replace Adderall or just plain help with your focus, I'm calling bullshit. Your colleagues are just trying to justify a reason to talk about tripping while you're at work and glorify why you should do it. Mushrooms are meant to be eaten in the handful, and if you have good ones you'll be in the fetal contemplating life for 5 hours, not work. Also sounds to me like your colleagues need to grow the fuck up a bit, but that's just my thoughts.

Disagree with everything you're saying. Mushrooms are not meant to be eaten by the handful (although when done those giggles are freaking amazing haha). Microdosing last year for a few months 100% changed my life for the better in and outside of work. I would much rather take a tiny mushroom pill capsule than non-natural antidepressants and anxiety medicine.

*Also sidenote, although his colleagues may be different, I am grown the fuck up and I have my shit together. I'd rather choose natural over fucked up, addictive prescription pills any day and that doesn't make me some weirdo or anything less than someone who chooses differently. Check yourself and try not to judge anyone for being different than you*

At a former company of mine it would have been more efficient to load the Coke into the ventilation system so that they could save the frequent bathroom trips…

Just pot and beer for me. Usually try not to go Indica during the day. Seen a lot of success in others with the focus aids, but was never my thing. Usually the more comfortable I am at a job (or the more checked out) the more fucked up I get during the workday. But yeah I tend to keep it to "legal" things.
