Drugs (relevant to micro dosing)

I will say when I was in school for engineering, I would microdose acid during tests. Probably about 30ugs a time. Made visualizing math a helluva lot easier, I'd go from being a C student to an A student, I was way better at math on acid than sober. If I went back to school I probably wouldn't do it again because acid and schizophrenia don't really mix well (shrooms were a different story but that's besides the point) but I see what the techbros were saying. Was like I could have multiple pages of notes stored in my brain and flip through them casually.

This is why when I was dealing people would trust my math when I was off multiple tabs. For some reason I was just really good at mental math when I was on acid. Wouldn't trust myself to do anything else on acid, but math was a strong point.

So acid is like the spice melange from dune where taking it gives you the mental capacity to perform spacetime-bending mathematical calculations so that you can steer the ship at lightspeed without hitting planets

That's allegedly what Frank Herbert based it off of, yeah

Eh, depends on the person and the dose. At high doses, it will fucking fry your brain like nothing else. But there are stories of bands taking acid before shows, or the famous Doc Ellis no-hitter in baseball. It will really make you lock in on certain things.

Irresponsible behavior

I'm a pretty good driver, and have driven on acid a few times back when I did it. I got myself out of some terrible situations in the snow while I was on acid that I don't think I would have figured out as quickly if I were sober. Like my understanding of physics just clicked instantly and I knew when to hit the gas when instinctually I would have wanted to slam the breaks. I only ever drove when the roads were dead when I was on acid though, so I never dealt with other people being in the mix.

Yes

microdose acid during tests. Probably about 30ugs

Jesus fucking Christ lmao I can’t even imagine the level of panic that would set in if I tried doing that

High doses make me panic like crazy, low doses just make me really good at math. I would never macrodose anywhere close to a test, but goddamn if my math wasn't fire when I was microdosing acid. (To be fair I was also using Phenibut at this point, which removes all the anxiety from acid trips)
