SF news runs story on Techies Microdosing at work...

Forums:

To increase performance and creativity. Same interview said workers purchased off the Dark Net and had been dosing every few weeks, while at work.

There you have it!

been a hot topic, microdosing that is, for a handful of years now out there in the tech community. 

Amazing what you can order to your house off the Darknet!

Don't think it would work for me... if I get baked before work, all I want to do is eat the whole box of cookieslaugh

Getting baked and dosing, micro or otherwise are two very different experiences I don't get the munchies dosed.

I hear that.

 

A girlfriend and I used to micro dose shrooms and then go to the bars in Boston and have the greatest time. Same girlfriend I ran into at 2004 SPAC Dead show after not seeing her for 4 years.

Do any of you actually know people in tech who do this on the reg?  Seems like all the news tie back to the same one or two anecdotes.  i'd rather macrodose personally.

Are these the same people that can't handle the pots, the one toke willeys?

They're out of ideas? 

The all want to become the next Steve Jobs, and if Dosing was food enough for him..

 I've been a proponent for a while now.

 

Good supplement to standard practice once in a blue moon, I've found. 

It's a stupid speedy waste if you you do it too often and habituate.

Energetically, it also costs, so use it wisely. 

 

Mostly I just stick with qigong and meditation.

 

LSD is responsible for the term "Thinking outside the box"

Apple could IBM couldn't and LSD is why!

I had a coworker at the dispensary who practiced this........not good for production.

Hmmmmm, so does Dosing every night on Sept 90 & 91 tour (amongst others), driving back & forth & going to work every day with an LSD hangover, count as Microdosing?  I probably didn't design any real Groundbreaking Highways back then . . . prob spent most of the day sleeping in a toilet stall . . .

 

I don't know if I should talk to this pizza or eat it?

Don't worry Heybrochacho you'll be alright you'll be OK!

Micro dosing mushrooms is common for depression and ptsd.  There are lots of folks these days growing or picking shrooms for this purpose.

 

Jesus, Mary and Joseph......just drop and listen to the music play already..... wink !!!






...must we over think....everything !

Reposted from other thread:  Ha ha I knew someone would pick up on my purposely planted Hypocrisy.

In early 1990 I made the mistake of taking a promotion into an Administrative unit, mainly because the chain of command in my old Highway Design unit were all harsh anti-hippie ex marine types (one of them ranted one day @ break about being stuck at an afternoon meeting in downtown Hartford the afternoon of a GD show "didn't we get rid of all these goddamned hippies - they should be locked up & the key thrown away").  So the Admin unit only oversaw consultants designing big projects, and my marching orders were "manage the contracts, don't get involved in design issues, that's the consultant's responsibility".  So managing the contracts, even with a half dozen or more, took about 10 min's a day, the rest of the day was mine, as long as I "looked busy".  The managers were nice guys but way more interested in soliciting free lunches from consultants & hanging out in Italian clubs in the south end of Hartford drinking Manhattans & eating fried calamari all afternoon.  Well this wore pretty thin on a type A adrenaline junky like me pretty quickly so I gladly transferred to the smaller & far less regimented Facilities unit in 1992 (building projects are WAY more complicated than strictly civil/site/highway jobs).  But during those 2 years of Idle time, yeah, I DO know what it feels like to be Thom & have nothing to do @ work all day, & back then there were no computers/social media.  I studied for my engineering license exam & brought my tape trading stuff in (creating my trading list in Lotus 123, perused other traders lists, etc).  And when tour got hot & heavy, sure, slept in a toilet stall.  I have no regrets.  At least I wasn't Banging the state for paid overtime @ 1.5 x my salary like all the other guys in the unit who had even less to do than me (they did recognize my abilities & gave me some of the more challenging projects).  I should write that "my life with Aspergers" book someday . . .

 

my entire career has been spent trying to look busy when i'm not.

I'd be more interested in what amounts constitute microdosing? Half a hit, half a drop? 1 stem or 1 cap? Just curious how you'd measure it out.

Is hitting a bat microdosing?

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, wrote a great book all about how pretty much all office worker types spend all day doing pretty much nothing.  This cuts across private/public sector but is especially prevalent in larger organizations (of course).  I remember when the Tech bubble burst which coincided with the end of the Y2K "crisis" and whole buildings full of Office Drones were suddenly "On the Streets" and Society motored onward as usual . . .
