Can Tiny Doses of Magic Mushrooms
Improve Creativity? A new study suggests that
'microdoses' of psychedelics can
induce a state of unconstrained thought, without the "bad trips"
that come with
high doses. Participants were given three tasks
before and after they consumed an
average 0.37 grams of dried truffles. Those who took a small amount had
more creative problem solving ideas. The findings are in line with studies that found
high doses of psychedelics can
enhance creative performance. The research was led by
Luisa Prochazkova from
Leiden University in the Netherlands. Dr. Prochazkova,
