ANECDOTE

Hofmann's Microdosing Habit

  • Albert Hofmann reportedly microdosed once or twice weekly and found walks with trees especially beneficial.
  • He believed microdosing was a neglected research area and used it as a cognitive enhancer late in life.
ADVICE

Avoid Daily Dosing To Prevent Tolerance

  • Expect tolerance with daily psychedelics; avoid consecutive dosing to preserve effects and learning.
  • Use brief dosing cycles (dose day one, observe residual on day two, rest day three) to maintain benefit.
INSIGHT

Mystical Experiences Change Behavior

  • Transcendental/mystical experiences shift behaviour: increased nature time, healthier habits, more social connection, and sustained life changes.
  • That reconnection often removes motivations for destructive habits like alcoholism by reducing isolation.
