Microdosing psychedelics may not be scientifically proven to enhance creativity, but it's used by a small group for depression, anxiety, and energy. However, macrodosing is favored over microdosing for addressing the root cause of mental health issues through therapy. Hallucinations induced by psychedelics are not considered as false delusions but can provide individuals with a sense of deep truth and understanding. Studies show that psychedelic experiences can lead to profound impacts on individuals, making them more open-minded, ecumenical, and less literal.
Do psychedelics reveal a different objective reality? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice learn about psychedelic drugs, treating PTSD, and other mind-bending research with President of Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Rick Doblin.
