You’ve just tuned in to The Daily Beat!
This week on the Daily Beat: Dr. James Fadiman, author of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide, talking with us about the science behind micro-dosing with LSD.
Today on the Daily Beat, Wednesday May 11, 2016: We continue the conversation with Fadiman who has spent much of his time explaining how taking a tiny little bit of LSD or another hallucinogenic drug on a specific schedule could have big time medical benefits. It’s called micro-dosing, and while the idea hasn’t yet catapulted itself into the mainstream, it’s getting there—there’s nary a science-ortechnology-minded media outlet that hasn’t either tried micro-dosing or written about it in some form over the last few months.
