Microdosing with LSD

Microdosing and high dosing are firmly woven into the world of biohacking. In recent years, interest in the potential health benefits of psychedelic substances, especially when microdosing LSD, has increased significantly.

The history of LSD goes back to its discovery in 1938 by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann. Although LSD was researched therapeutically in the 1950s and 1960s, it was also used in the hippie movement. The idea of microdosing is based on the assumption that minimal amounts of LSD can have positive effects without triggering intense states of intoxication.

One intriguing aspect is 1D-LSD, a variant of LSD with an unusual ring structure that, despite its variations, shows similar potency to traditional LSD.

In the field of biohacking, microdosing pursues various goals: cognitive improvement, increased mental performance, emotional resilience, stress management, promotion of creative innovation and spiritual exploration.

Scientific research on microdosing with LSD has gained momentum in recent years. Various methods, including subjective reports, neurocognitive tests and advanced imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have been used. Initial results suggest positive effects on creative problem solving and mood enhancement, yet research remains challenging due to the subtle effects.

Despite the promising aspects, there are also risks to be considered when microdosing with LSD. These include individual reactions, possible psychotropic effects and the risk of psychological dependence. Interactions with other medications must also be carefully considered. Such reactions are not to be expected with microdosing.

The legal situation of microdosing with LSD varies internationally. In Germany, traditional LSD is illegal and subject to strict controls. Interestingly, 1D- and 1T-LSD, structurally related compounds, are not prohibited and may be used for research purposes.

The practical application of microdosing requires thorough preparation. Clear goals should be defined in the context of biohacking. Dosing is a crucial aspect and it is recommended to start with very low doses and increase them slowly. A detailed diary can help to track changes over time, while integrating the knowledge gained into everyday life is crucial. Professional advice should be sought, especially if there are existing health concerns or if you are taking other medications.
