37. LSD Microdosing: What Women Need to Know Before Their First Drop

In this candid, creatively unfiltered episode, host April Pride returns with a new bonus series exploring entheogens—starting with LSD microdosing. From personal anecdotes to government mind control experiments, April invites listeners into a cultural, historical, and deeply personal unpacking of acid’s past and present. You’ll learn what LSD microdosing is, how to do it safely, and what to avoid. This primer is equal parts poetic and practical—ideal for curious, health-conscious women ready to take that first mindful drop.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-LSD was originally derived from ergot fungus and has a complex, dramatic history tied to madness, mysticism, and medicine.

-Microdosing involves 20 micrograms—about 1/5 of a typical trip dose—and can enhance mood, creativity, and connection.

-LSD’s history includes CIA-backed experiments (MK-Ultra), hippie counterculture, and 21st-century therapeutic revival.

-Not safe for everyone—those with mental health conditions or cardiac issues should consult a doctor first.

-Must-watch: “Wormwood” and a 1960s video of a woman on live TV describing her acid trip.
