From the post:

>About a decade ago, many media outlets—including WIRED—zeroed in on a weird trend at the intersection of mental health, drug science, and Silicon Valley biohacking: microdosing, or the practice of taking a small amount of a psychedelic drug seeking not full-blown hallucinatory revels but gentler, more stable effects. Typically using psilocybin mushrooms or LSD, the archetypal microdoser sought less melting walls and open-eye kaleidoscopic visuals than boosts in mood and energy, like a gentle spring breeze blowing through the mind.

Who knows.

I used to live on enough caffeine it could probably kill a Clydesdale so I think that part of my brain is completely burned out. I stopped caffeine for years and now if I have a tea/coffee/red-bull/whatever it's not even noticeable. I kind of think I would probably need at least 5x what a typical person needs in caffeine to notice it at all.

I don't really feel like trying that but it is what it is I guess. I miss coffee. At some point it was too acidic for me and I couldn't drink it anymore. That sucks. Though, I would drink at least a pot of coffee a day if not more when I had a rough day.
