Microdosing Psychedelics

Microdosing is the consumption of a low-dose psychedelic on a consistent basis for an extended period of time. Since 2016, I have made it my professional focus, writing a book, creating an online course, and giving several talks at tech and business conferences. It is my firm belief that the concept of microdosing will help normalize psychedelics so they can become integrated into Western culture.

Psychedelic Literacy

It is the mission of my organization, The Third Wave, to facilitate psychedelic literacy within Western culture. If our society is to leverage the transformative potential of psychedelics, it must understand how to properly utilize them. Without a clear understanding of why psychedelics initiate us into new perspectives, and the value these new perspectives bring, much of the current ‘hype’ around psychedelics will go unrealized in the coming years.

Personal Alignment

Step 1 is microdosing. Step 2 is transformation through responsible high dose use. Step 3 is integrating these newfound perspectives to align personal purpose with contribution. Discontent with work is at an all-time high. In discovering one’s own way through intentional psychedelic use, we begin to align our mission in the world with who we really are. This is the third and final step of the transformational process: ‘showing up’ and being in service to others by sharing your true gifts and talents.
