    Is micro dosing drugs like LSD or stimulants the new bourgeois trend now? Seriously people are talking about this shit everywhere, if you want to do drugs just do it lol

      Microdosing LSD for work productivity and problem solving efficiency has been a popular idea among Silicon Valley tech types for quite some time now.

          The issue is some tech bros are either not alienated from their labour as much, or have been lulled into thinking that.

          I know in the one full-time job I truly enjoyed, and in my side gig singing, I get annoyed when my body gets tired or reaches its limits. When you're doing something you care about and your value isn't being stolen as much, you really do start to look at ways to do your job better, even if it's just working out how to clean up faster at the end of day. And I am literally the laziest person in the world. I hate doing things so, so much.

          Of course, no one else is in that situation.

          Imagine trying to take LSD, of all the fucking drugs out there, and use it to improve productivity. Just take Adderall or cocaine like a normal bourgeois silicon valley type/ Wall Street banker.

          spoiler

          This is a joke based on stereotypes, please don't actually do cocaine

      That's the thing, they don't really want to do drugs. People like this will tell you they're "afraid of losing control" and such. They don't want something earth-shaking, they just want to feel happy again without the hard part. That's why they're libs.

        That's some nerd ass shit. I mean as someone that has had to take plenty of strong opioids and others for various reasons, a bad trip isn't going to ruin your life or anything. Yes you may say some embarrassing shit or have a massive panic attack but as long as you have good people with you you're not going to die or anything. While the risk of addiction is always there and I'm definitely not trying to trivialise drug use or addiction, if a complete fool like me can basically self manage and wean myself off what is essentially morphine lite, it goes to show that responsible drug use is possible in some form. (So long as you don't do heroin or really addictive substances) Makes me wonder how libs would react if they experienced any substantial change
