There are so many misconceptions about psychedelics. Microdosing is a trend and it doesn't seem the people following it currently even understand how and why it started. For example the fact that many unironically believe LSD improves mood. It's not alcohol, it radically alters your perception but doesn't sedate you. That can improve your mood or it can make it much worse.

it's like saying "a book can improve your mood". It definitely can, and most often will but reading 15 pages a day probably won't do too much.

Depends on what you read, but that is a really bad analogy in any case.

On psychedelics you're the book reading yourself. And sometimes what is written isn't pleasant ;)
