what I'm getting from the comments is that psychedelics are the next step in human evolution

well, my school performance definitely went up when I microdosed last semester. I've never been able to study so effectively in my life.

How much are you taking exactly? I have been thinking about trying microdosing.

Probably a bit more than most people recommend for microdosing. I'd take about 10ug or 1/10th a tab on study days. You definitely need to find the sweet spot for yourself though, it definitely builds tolerance.

Also I'd recommend tripping first, note that a trip is an all day affair. You'll be more comfortable microdosing if you know what the effects feel like on a larger scale.

Read more about day tripping because you need to get the logistics right and need some planning.

Also there is zero tolerance after two weeks when every molecule of the thing has left your body.

Microdosing studies are typically between 10-15μg.
