The idea of microdosing hallucinogenic drugs to boost productivity has always fascinated me.

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

This startup sells microdosing kits to boost productivity — so I did magic truffles for a month

Microdosing for productivity is nothing new, of course.

He made it sound like NZT the wonder drug in that movieLimitlessstarring Bradley Cooper.

So I decided to take the plunge.

At first, I felt nothing, so I upped my dosage, until I noticed something.

The feeling I got wasnt like theLimitlessproductivity boost I was promised, I just felt antsy and restless instead.

It was like a more uncomfortable version of the feeling you get when you drink too much coffee.

It seemed I had finally found the streamlined (and legal) microdosing experience I had been looking for.

So how does it work?

As the name implies, they dont sell LSD, but psilocybin truffles (commonly known asmagic truffles).

I did this for the first week until I realized it wasnt doing much for me.

The reason I started microdosing was for productivity, not for personal growth.

It turned out to be a great decision.

It noticeably improved my productivity, especially in the first half of the day.

Its hard to describe the effects of a microdose accurately without sounding like an ad.

You know how sometimes you have a really productive day, for no discernible reason?

Microdosing gives a similar feeling.

Tasks get easier to tackle, you feel more creative, and distractions are easier to ignore.

Earth Resonances founder, Robert Nass, told me people have opened up to microdosing since coronavirus lockdowns started.

Orders have gone up as people start to seek new experimental ways to deal with these extremely weird conditions.

Of course experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs is daunting, and definitely not for everyone.

For now, the Netherlands is the only country that allows over-the-counter sales of psilocybin truffles.

According to Nass, Canada is up next.

I really hope they do.

Were all working from home anyway, so why not experiment with small amounts of drugs while youre there?

Its been a great experience for me and Im confident more people can benefit from giving it a go.

Maybe the future of work isnt just remote, its also on drugs.
