There are plenty of positive reports about microdosing. This would make you more creative, more concentrated or more energetic. Radar takes the test and conducts a double-blind placebo-controlled study. In other words: Presenter Fons uses a substance in week 1 and another substance in week 2. And he doesn’t know what week he’s taking drugs or a placebo. What seems? Microdosing turns out to be complete bullshit. And he is not alone in that.
A remarkable start, because a microdosing agent is needed to be able to carry out the research. In the Netherlands, most people use LSD for microdosing, number two is truffles. The funny thing is that LSD is illegal in the Netherlands, but it is very easy to order on Dutch web shops.
Fons uses the LSD drops for a week. He does this according to a schedule in which he takes 15 drops every two days. He does the same with the placebo drug. He just doesn’t know which drug he takes in which week. The bottles he received from the editors are identical, only they know what he is doing.
Psychic stability to curiosity
Radar sent out a questionnaire to more than 16,000 people. Of these, 426 had experience with microdosing, from mushrooms to ketamine. The reasons range from the hope of greater psychological stability to curiosity. The majority of these more than 400 experience experts are positive about the result. View here which drug has which effect according to this group.
Tom Bart, addiction expert at Jellinek: ‘Microdosing is taking certain psychedelic drugs at a dose that won’t make you trip’. According to Bart, it is thought that if you take a dose that you just don’t feel, you function better during the day. But it is a difficult subject because little thorough research has been done on it’.

After two weeks, he will receive the results from researcher Josi Marschall of Leiden University. Before giving him this result, she naturally wants to know what he has experienced herself. A remarkable result is that Fons says he has been windy. Other than that, he didn’t notice much difference. He says he hasn’t become more creative, not more energetic, but he still thinks he took LSD in week 2. Want to know if it’s right? Watch the video above!
‘That’s right’, says Josi Marschall, researcher at Leiden University. We have done double-blind studies and it appears that people do not notice a difference between a fake drug (placebo) and a real drug if you take it in small amounts over a longer period of time.
