Most people do not claim even indigestion from microdosing. And I agree that one would not expect 10mcg to do anything, which is why I discussed it in the terms of trips and bought 2 tabs rather than just 1.

> If the author is serious about exploring this experience, I recommend to the author to step outside of his comfort zone and read as much as he can about what the psycohnauts (e.g. shulgin, mckenna, RAW, leary, watts, huxley, lilly) say (w.r.t. dosages, set, setting, _tools not toys!!!_, etc.) and then experiment with larger doses

What makes you think I have not read a substantial amount of material from those authors?

@Gwern I just wanted to point out that I did actually like the essay as a whole, even though it doesn't necessary come off that way when I'm only pointing out the few parts I disagree with!
