Absolutely do NOT drive & microdose

I’ve made this post & thread dozens of times on Reddit and it has always been heavily downvoted. I don’t really care - as long as it has the potential to help atleast one person then I’m happy enough with that.

Even if it’s an incredibly low dose. Do not drive. Even though your visual acuity, mental clarity and senses are heightened - your driving will be negatively affected by microdosing even if it doesn’t feel like it. Even if your dose is so low that it’s “imperceptible”, I can explain why it’s a bad idea to get behind the wheel.

Even if you’re a very experienced and composed driver, driving is a risk-assessment activity where you are essentially operating on a paranoid state of mind - even if you’re driving in “second-nature”, it won’t feel like paranoia but you are always looking for danger.

Microdosing can eliminate fear. It puts you in a good-great mood where everything can feel “right” and there’s no issues or worries to be had. Even though you feel sharp, your mood is great, the world is slightly brighter, you will not be in this “paranoid” risk assessment danger-awareness mode while driving - or rather it will diminish this state of mind.

I’ve driven tons of times while microdosing with zero issue, infact it made the experience of driving probably better because it simply made “everything” feel better. Yet I can tell you right now that the ONLY times in my life that I’ve ever had near-misses in a car, while very few, I can with 100% certainty attribute it directly to the microdosing without fail.

Go ahead and microdosing and do whatever you want, go hiking, paint, play music, do a sport, whatever - but please seriously reconsider microdosing before operating machinery or driving a vehicle. While you won’t necessarily feel as though you are drunk from alcohol or high from a drug, your judgements can and will be impaired even though it doesn’t feel like it.

Just think and consider the facts: you are taking a seriously potent drug (albeit in a tiny dose), and then operating a vehicle that can travel at high speeds. Even a child would say that this is a terrible idea. Isn’t the goal of microdosing to enhance your life in a small way? Getting into a car wreck has the potential to destroy many lives including innocent ones of people who chose not to take drugs and drive.

I know this isn’t a “fun” topic but if you disagree with this sentiment and instantly downvote it, then all I can do is pray for you aswell.

Thank you for reading and please stay safe.
