It is my hope one day we will have access to these incredible plant medicines to support both our health, but also our spiritual growth. So it looks promising for the therapeutic value of microdosing psychedelics and I am so excited to follow the research and the policies around their use. More details of this study can be found here. Remarkably, changes in pain tolerance and subjective pain perception induced by the low dose of LSD under these circumstances were comparable in magnitude to those observed after administration of opioids, such as oxycodone and morphine to healthy volunteers. The same dose size showed a simultaneous decrease in reported negative moods such as depression, anger, and fatigue.Īnderson et al. Participants given an LSD microdose of 20mcg report increased “vigor”, they felt friendlier, and they had improved mood. The researchers found that participants experienced “ sustained levels of improved attention and positive mood changes after just a single microdose (20 mcg) of LSD.” Results clearly demonstrate, for the first time in a controlled and rigorous way, the positive effects of microdosing on mood, cognition and pain management. The first study, exploring the dose-response relationship in LSD-induced physiological and psychological effects, saw twenty-four healthy volunteers each receive single doses of 5, 10 and 20 micrograms of LSD, or a placebo. The Beckley/Maastricht Microdosing Research Programme was set up to study the effects of LSD microdosing on humans, with a particular focus on mood, cognitive functions, and pain management. Outside of the lab, the Beckley/Imperial team are also conducting the world’s first placebo-controlled, self-blinded study of microdosing Microdosing And Mood And Cognition Microdosing And Neuroplasticityįor any sceptics out there who think the above sounds ‘out there’ The Berkley Foundation are investigating whether LSD microdosing, when used once or repeatedly, “ can amplify brain plasticity, a phenomenon that has already been observed in cells, lab grown ‘minibrains’ and animals, but not yet in humans.” Together they work synergistically and thought to enhance learning, cognition, neuroregeneration and many other things.
