I think the point of the micro-dose is that it's not enough to make you feel high, just enough to have positive effects. So it's likely not the same effect you've experienced, unless you've experimented with micro-doses.

Don't have experience with micro-doses. But any dose wears off. So at a certain point, you basically have a micro dose. But there's not a single point in the whole LSD experience that would make me a better engineer. Of course, it might for other people, although I seriously doubt it. Maybe in other fields (marketing, sales, etc).

Have'nt tried microdosing. But when a full dose wears off, it would be natural to be a bit mentally exhausted from the trip so I can't imagine it's comparable to a microdose.

Exactly.

10µg and 100µg are very different. You don't trip from 10µg as you would from 100µg.

You may feel a little bit more energetic, a little bit happier, conversations flow better etc... But it's all very subtle.

From the article: > In fact, a common problem for new experimenters, according to Fadiman, is that people are used to feeling the effects of drugs, and a micro-dose of LSD can sometimes be less perceptible than a cup of coffee.

Coming down is not the same as a microdose.
