Microdosing is mostly hype. I know many people who've tried microdosing. Does it give you a 5% edge? Maybe... but sometimes it distracts and subtracts 5%.

It is not NZT from the movie Limitless, despite media hype.

As a productivity drug, amphetamines far outclass psychedelics.

They're not mutually exclusive, I'm sure there's significant overlap between the adderall and microdosing crowds.

If you mean the substituted amphetamines which have serotonergic activity (DOB and such) then sure, amphetamines and psychedelics aren't mutually exclusive, but those are very rare drugs especially in the modern day.
