What people say about LSD and focus
“Visualizing electric fields was effortless...I realized I had taken way too much for what I was trying to do. It was hard to focus, certain muscles were tightening up, I was sweating more.”
“The only thing that works for me is low dose LSD or MDMA (but not MDA)”
“microdoses of LSD (helps with visual creativity and maybe focus but no effect on anxiety for me)”
“Nothing I've ever tried comes close to low dose lsd for studying. Memory improvement at around 40-60%”
