Saw this in the news today and thought I'd post it. It's really encouraging to see psychedelics covered in the media with a positive angle. Twenty or thirty years ago, an article like this wouldn't have made it anywhere near the mainstream media. As encouraging as it is, one has to wonder... Why now? What do you guys think has changed in our society that now makes this an acceptable topic for research and discussion?

Microdosing Psychedelics May Boost Mood and Focus. But What Are the Drawbacks?

By Rotem Petranker, York University, Canada; and Thomas Anderson, University of Toronto | July 22, 2019 07:03am ET

Microdosing psychedelics is a growing trend that involves ingesting very small sub-hallucinogenic amounts of substances like LSD or dried psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
We ran a large-scale, pre-registered global research study asking participants to report what they like and dislike about microdosing.
The three most commonly reported benefits were: improved mood, increased focus and enhanced creativity.
The three most common challenges were: illegality (by a wide margin), physiological discomfort and "other concerns" such as the unknown risk profile of microdosing and forgetting to take a regular dose.
