Can Microdosing Hurt the Heart?
That, in turn, can lead to serious or even fatal heart issues like arrhythmias or valvular heart disease.
So far, there’s been little research on the link between repeated psychedelics use and heart health, but this week, researchers at the University of Fribourg Center for Psychiatric Research in Switzerland published a paper in the Journal of Psychopharmacology reviewing the existing evidence.
“It is possible that chronic microdosing may carry a risk of fibrosis and valvular heart disease, which should be assessed in future studies,” the authors write.
“Any future work considering longer microdosing regimens should incorporate breaks and regular screening for vascular abnormalities.”
Microdosing and Authenticity
A recent study found that on the microdosing day and the day thereafter, state authenticity was significantly higher.
Furthermore, the number of activities and the satisfaction with them were higher on the day when participants microdosed, while the following day only the number of activities was higher.
The researchers propose that feeling and behaving authentically could have a central role in explaining the positive effects of microdosing on health and wellbeing that are reported by their study.

Is it all hype or is there genuine hope for therapeutic application of microdosing?
There’s certainly plenty of ‘conflicting’ information or results available from studies of different methodologies. Here, we begin with an overview of what microdosing is, who does it, and for what purposes. We then review available evidence and summarize benefits and risks of microdosing. Finally, we get more practical and discuss microdosing regimens, measurement of accurate dosing, and ‘set and setting’ consideration to microdosing.
