Microdosing and Game

I’ve experimented with microdosing (LSD and psilocybin) in the past in an attempt to improve mental clarity, mood, and myself (all parts of game).

When I began the process, it took a few days to find the optimal dose that was just sub-perceptive. Once found, I spent a month trying each of the fore-mentioned substances. Overall, the beginning of the experiment felt great. My energy and mood was elevated, my mind was clear, and I generally felt an improvement in my game. However, as the dosing went on, the initial benefits seemed to wear off and my experience became inconsistent. Some days I would feel extremely groggy and foggy, others I’d be very high energy, almost manic, and every now and then I’d get extremely depressed. I eventually stopped because I felt there was an aspect of tolerance at play.

I’m not a doctor or neuroscientist in anyway but microdosing basically provides your brain with chemicals that have a similar chemical makeup to your brain’s natural neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine specifically). The idea is that by introducing a small (microdose) of these chemicals to your brain, you’ll experience increased performance and improved mental functioning.

The downside is that your brain will adapt to this new abundance of neurotransmitters and stop producing them on its own. This results in the increased “tolerance” and overall mood instability I mentioned previously. It also becomes a form of “mental crutch” where you feel you need this boost to go about your day.

All in all, I’d advise against it. It’s one thing to take a tab and spend a day tripping, it’s another to introduce these chemicals to your neurological system on a daily basis. If you want to microdose, you may as well visit your doctor and look into getting prescribed antidepressants or anti anxiety meds (which I also wouldn’t advise). You’re better off meditating, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly.

This was just my experience. I’m sure there are some who swear by microdosing and how it changed there life, but it just didn’t work for me. The risk of permanently altering my brains ability to produce these chemicals seemed like too much of a risk.

Drugs are a crutch.

Question is, do you want good game because you're on some drug, or do you actually want to internalise good game? There are no shortcuts bro.

I tried it for a while, but it didn't do shit, or at least nothing that I could notice.

It depends what issue you're trying to fix or what to enhance. If shyness or nervousness is your problem, then something like phenibut can turn you into a relentless cold approaching motherfucker.

Acid enhances your ability to sense social energy. It's not a bad thing but use it scarcely.
