Needed: Human test subjects for LSD Microdosing research

UPDATE: Thankyou everybody for your interest - there has been far more interest than I expected which is fantastic. This is going to be an exciting community collaboration and I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into this project. I have a lot of messages to answer, so if I haven't replied to you - don't worry, I will over the next few days.

I will be collecting shipping details starting in a couple of days, and begin shipping tabs soon after that. I have had offers from people with expertise who have generously offered their time to ensure that the this exercise is conducted with enough scientific rigor to make the results and conclusions meaningful. While participants are waiting for tabs to arrive, we will be be working in the background to this end.

That's all for now - thanks again, and we'll speak soon.


EDIT 1: I have increased this to 20 participants and now have more than enough volunteer lab rats. Thank you everyone who has PM'd. I'll be in contact over the next couple of days to discuss getting the tabs out to you.


I need up to 10 people who are interested in microdosing to participate in a little bit of research. The study will last for a period of one month. Please message me if you're interested in participating.

I was surprised to learn that there is very little in the way of research on microdosing LSD. The purpose of this informal study will be to try and answer questions such as what's the ideal dose, how often should they be taken (every second or third day?), what changes in creativity / motivation / productivity / mood can we expect?

I'll be providing 20x10ug tabs for free for each participant - the only catch is that I'd like you to make notes on changes that have occurred during the month that you directly attribute to microdosing - and write a short summary of your experience when you've finished the month. This may take the form of a questionaire.

If you're interested, please let me know - but only if you're prepared to do this for the full month. Doses are 10ug and typically taken every 2nd or 3rd day.

Also... If there is anyone with experience in conducting psych research studies who could help out with writing a questionaire for subjects and perhaps provide some advice on how to conduct this study, please let me know.

Do you have unlaid tabs? You definitely need that. Half of the participants should receive tabs that are just paper. We shall call them "controls."

Participants should not be informed whether or not their tabs have LSD on them.

Here sir! Please take my name, address and SSN.

ah a tguk customer

Everyone should recall that /u/gwern did a nifty blinded self-experiment and concluded that microdosing LSD had no effect on him:

Lol, how long did it take to get the number of participants? 15 seconds or so?


[2 Points] None:

i already did this, and overall it made me a better person, but mostly when i was under the influence, i would be cleaner (house etc..), sharper, everything was better overall. On the long term it only made me cleaner, my house is sually cleaner overall, but still becomes a mess sometimes, under micro it was always clean AF, i would vacum every 2-3 days etc


[2 Points] dlayover123:

I thought taking lsd that often can not be good. Also, ten people isn't really a great sample size as your conclusions should include gender, age, height, weight, etc.


[2 Points] OpiGod777:

shit, count me in


[2 Points] thebiggestloser66666:

I don't believe it - 2 weeks after I order that exact same item from HongKongPost - I assume that's you - on AB (still hasn't arrived yet btw) and NOW you offer this? I'm also using it for microdosing research, and looking at the long-term mental health benefits.

Fucking typical.

Also, /r/microdosing has a lot of useful information, most of it centered around LSD.


[2 Points] OnlyOneStar:

damn, I've always been adamant about not taking it. I've always been on the shrooms side of the psyches, but I've wanted to try micro dosing. maybe another time :(


[2 Points] 180K:

How about doing a double blind, give half the people placebos.


[1 Points] DabbyRosin:

I would fucking love to do this, except that I can't afford to take the risk of being under the influence with my job. I'd be really curious to see what this do for someone with depression or bipolar.


[1 Points] None:

i would have like to do it again, without you even offering the tabs, but i don't think i will be able to since i'm travling to a couple of places


[1 Points] YBinc:

I would like to be a part of this. I have never taken any, but I have always been curious about the effects.


[1 Points] StayStrong63:

I'll do it, for the sake of research

[1 Points] gorkballs:

Sign me up, willing and ready.


[1 Points] redmans5head:

i would love to help with this research and see how it might effect me


[1 Points] Freeballinyo:

Pm'd you!


[1 Points] Medacali:

I'm curious to see what effect this would have on me as I have PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. I've never taken LSD, but have considered it rather than smoking bud and taking pharmaceuticals; I really want/hope this would help me to be more in tune with the world and society.


[1 Points] collectalldrugs:

i pm'd you im extremely interested in this!


[1 Points] None:

I would be very interested in participating. Of course, everybody's gonna say that as we all like free drugs, but I think this would be very cool. I only have one experience "microdosing" and I ended up having sharply-defined visuals so I wouldn't call it a microdose.

Read my PM pls. Thanks!


[1 Points] jigglyjk:

I'd love to be a part of this if you're still accepting people! I have a bit of experience with LSD but no tolerance so I'd be great for this!

PM'ed you buddy!


[1 Points] Waifusforlifeu:

PM'd


[1 Points] OakFad:

I am willing to participate. Send me a PM if you need any more information.


[1 Points] frickenzombies:

I'm interested


[1 Points] Opiatethrowaway008:

Going to pm you a few questions but I'm pretty sure i would be interested.


[1 Points] ProtectUrPrivacy:

It's interesting to see this posted because my kid (actually an adult now) asked me just a little over a week ago if I'd heard about microdosing LSD which I hadn't. As an example I told him about a completely different drug I read research on couple years ago, naltrexone, and how it seemed to behave pretty differently at low and ultra low doses. So, I said it sounded completely plausable that LSD might also have unexpected properties when micro dosed. Definitly sounds interesting and promising and I wish you luck on your research. Keep us updated!

My girlfriend gets crazy migraines and cluster headaches. How can I get involved?

[1 Points] gmoney910:

damn i wish i had seen this earlier. I am super interested if anyone else backs out


[1 Points] trickricksick:

yo we can do a research if i go retarded or get stuck in a trip, Im willing to take 2000ug every week :)


[1 Points] solusipses:

I would totally be interested but it seems you already have your 20 people. If it matters and your trying to find some variety of participants I am a 18 year old male with experience with lsd and a few experiments with microdosing.


[1 Points] Molly-Cyrus:

Join the group pal.. I mean, who doesn't need human test subjects?? Here, I'll let you borrow a couple of mine.


[1 Points] review_bro:

To get the best results you are going to need a larger sample pool. Id be willing to donate some bitcoin to increase it. I also have a background in stats if you need help with how to structure the questionares.


[1 Points] chill3willy:

Sign me up.


[1 Points] bluesndeep:

Hey whats up, is there a country limitation on these tests? I microdosed before for about 2 months, had everything written , positives and negatives of everyday and the next one, problem is that i never took the same dose, its hard to cut tabs and also i dont even know if they were actually as potent as the dealer said, would like to try something more controlled.


[1 Points] Felidae_Silverwing:

I'm willing to do this. This will be my first, and I'm ready


[1 Points] iyaswithyou:

I will be available this month. I will do it for science!


[1 Points] Born0fH3llfire:

I have bipolar disorder/depression and I've always wanted to be microdosed. I want to see if it can help me get through some hard times, I could do this for a month. I dont work and I have lots of free time. This could be an interesting way for me to try to get through life. I seriously feel this is a month long test that I'd be extremely thrilled to try out. I'm a vocalist, and I enjoy working with computers and solving troubleshooting issues, I'd love to see the effect of microdosing a whole month. I'm not on any SSRIs or anything that would be damaging in anyway.


[1 Points] salil_707:

I'd like to sign up for your microdosing research.


[1 Points] broam:

if you still need one more i have never taken lsd before so.


[1 Points] 710Tho:

I think I would be interested in taking part in this research if you still need subjects. I only really smoke dabs too, so I've never had my psychedelic cherry popped. Always had a slight interest in LSD but never gone through with it as I have some underlying anxiety, but I think I'd be down to try this.


[1 Points] PenisAndBalls1:

Why it shouldn't be taken every day?


[1 Points] cosmicarray:

Sent you a PM, hope this goes well for you!


[1 Points] happygolucky85:

I would be up for this.


[1 Points] rooster79:

Hello, i would participate gladly and write well.


[1 Points] sulrom:

Is there still room for one more?


[1 Points] danoob9000:

I am willing and able to do he research. I would like to know more about it. Will thses results be published in a journal? What country will this be done in? What is the legality? Will we be in cat scan machines at all?


[0 Points] MacHater420:

I would be interested, but might not be the best test subject as I am on anti-depressants and an anti-psychotic for sleep.


[0 Points] socksleever:

Count me in!


[0 Points] MrJuanPablo:

Sure!


[-1 Points] Waifusforlifeu:

Count me in. I'm a behaviorist and do research in the field. That said, I believe I can handle this with integrity, unbiased and keep the research proper.
