    I’d argue that once you are feeling effects of the drug, you are no longer micro dosing.

    Micro dosing started out as a way to describe the maximum amount of substance you could take without feeling primary effects.

      Yeah the whole thing is dumb. Let me eat as many mushrooms as I can without tripping balls so I can kinda work and think I’m a genius. That was hard enough to balance with weed in the office. Real drugs?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Worst case, nothing happens. “Best case,” I lose my career??? No thanks man. Maybe I’ll use them to clear my head on a Friday alone and use the sober new perspective on Monday. During work with no upside??? Nobody has to drive during the day??? End old man rant

          I know that the rules for spravato (esketamine nasal spray, for depression) include no driving until after you’ve had a full night’s sleep.

            I didn’t drive regularly when I was younger and fucked around. But both then and sober old man now, I couldn’t fathom driving within 48 hours of any drugs. Even day after drinking, it’s not safe… if you’re drinking until last call, tomorrow isn’t tomorrow

        But as your body builds up resistance you’re gonna have to increase the dose

        Also I imagine it’s like super sugar where people say “a little sweeter would be fine” and keep increasing the dose.

          which is also why the doses need to stay micro; so the body doesn’t percieve it as something worth building resistance to.

          I definitely don’t want to be anywhere near Level 2 of a mushroom trip when I’m trying to actually function.

          Just keep it nice and low; measure out 3.14g and split it 4 ways; have a quarter piece of Pi and all that cheesy goodness or wotnot.
