74. Microdosing LSD for Women: A Safer Entry Point into Psychedelics?

What if the psychedelic that scared you most could actually feel...safer? In this episode of The High Guide, April Pride opens up about her personal evolution with LSD—from early fears shaped by family lore to her recent shift from micro to full-dose experiences. You’ll hear how LSD differs from psilocybin emotionally, why microdosing LSD may be a better fit for some women navigating midlife mental health, and how historic stigma still colors our choices. Packed with insights, protocols, and product shoutouts, this episode is both a trip through April’s brain and a guide for women considering LSD as a tool for healing, focus, or just dancing longer.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-LSD can feel emotionally safer than psilocybin, especially if you're not in the "perfect mood" before dosing.

-Microdosing LSD typically ranges from 10–20 mcg, often administered via liquid or tab—and may be energizing enough to replace stimulants like ADHD meds.

-Bad acid trips have a legacy, but trusted sourcing changes everything. Learn how April overcame family fears.

-LSD has a fraught history, including U.S. mind control experiments. But it's also showing promise for depression, addiction, and anxiety in therapeutic contexts.

-Of Like Minds offers fruit bodies, edibles, and microdose products, all Seattle-sourced and vetted for quality.
