I love Acid and have taken the occasional microdose myself but I cannot support the authors attitude. The benefits described can all be achieved through meditation and single real doses of LSD, but after all it is merely a chemical shortcut to these higher states of conciousness where your mind loses its grip on you and you gain uninterrupted access to insight and creativity. Microdosing acid every fourth day is neither necessary nor very healthy, I assume, since there's a chemical component involved that acts on several neurotransmitter systems. The solution is already within everyone of us..

How does one manage to get/make a 10 micrograms dose without professional help? Or even with for that matter?

No. Acid doesn't kill. The preexisting illness that it shines light on might..

So can alcohol, but countless offices have beer fridges.

And, relevantly for an article on microdosing, so can anything at high doses, including water (e.g., Jennifer Strange) and oxygen (e.g., Apollo 1).
