Somewhat related I can anecdotally confirm that small doses of LSD (20-30ug) puts you in a high state of focus.

It's hard to get the measurement right. Halfway through my productive morning (probably at my peak) I had to take a long break because I kept feeling 'earthquakes' and had to walk it off.

This is the smartest path of science, using government funds to buy drugs and music. I think the search for meaning would be increased with adding easy going, sparsely dressed, party minded, but well paid girls.

While I find your argument overly snarky I have to agree with the conclusion.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

one goal of such research could be stronger psychedelics (eg mk ultra), so there's a good reason for regulation.

All areas of brain research are vital to have a complete understanding of humanity. The brain is clearly a major part of how we function.

But the complete understanding isn't essential. Sure, surgens may be vital, doesn't mean everyone may cut up people.

I have also experimented with small, sub-recreational doses of LSD for the same purpose. Just another point on a graph, I also had success with this during work on my side projects.
