Having entered the recent public and research zeitgeist, microdosing involves consuming sub-perceptual doses of psychedelic drugs, allegedly to enhance performance, creativity, and wellbeing. The results of research to date have been mixed. Whereas most studies have reported positive impacts of microdosing, some microdosers have also reported adverse effects. In addition, research to date has revealed inconsistent patterns of change in personality traits. This prospective study explored the relationship between microdosing, personality change, and emotional awareness.

A debt limit or debt ceiling is a legislative mechanism restricting the total amount that a country can borrow or how much debt it can be permitted to take on. Several countries have debt limitation restrictions.

President Joe Biden meets with business leaders about the "real world impact" of not raising the debt limit. The meeting is just a few hours before the Senate takes a vote on whether or not to raise the debt ceiling

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sent a Message With Her First Met Gala Appearance

For her first appearance at the Met gala, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to make a political statement. It was only right. And since she was at fashion’s glitziest night, surrounded by some of the most powerful and famous people in the world, what better medium to get her message out about taxing the rich than, well, to have it written in red on her dress? The Democratic socialist congresswoman wore a white gown by Brother Vellies, splashed with the political slogan across the back (the bottom curve of the C in “rich” nicely mirrored the tulle hem

A mounting crisis is unfolding at the U.S.-Mexico border where thousands of migrants, many from Haiti, have trekked across dozens of countries, facing blistering heat and other dangers to seek refuge in the United States.

But entering the land of the free has proved difficult after migrants waded across the border. They were met by Border Patrol agents and deportation efforts.

All eyes are on the small town of Del Rio, Texas, where at one point more than 14,000 migrants, the majority from Haiti, were sheltering under a bridge.

The core argument here is that NFTs are just another kind of collectible that lacks the physical component of a baseball card or a Picasso. This is pretty obvious, since many of the early NFTs were artworks like Beeple’s (an artist I quite like) and Grimes (I dug Art Angels). And sure, I can understand this, but even if we make the 1-1 connection between Art and NFT, there are still some pretty big holes in this argument that need to be patched

Axie infinity is a game that has managed to attract over 10 million dollars of investment, while at the same time reach the top 1% of Crypto games that are available on the market today. The investors are convinced that this game will reach great popularity in 2019 and I’m one of them. Axie Infinity is created by Kevin Gao, who is also the lead developer of CryptoKitties. CryptoKitties was one of the first game / game application to successfully implement ERC 721 standard. We all know how expensive kitties turned out to be.

Seven states — Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington — require most people to wear masks in indoor public places, whether or not they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia have similar orders in place.

Oregon also requires face-covering in public settings outdoors. California, Connecticut and New York have indoor mask mandates that extend only to the unvaccinated

US and allied troops start their withdrawal from Afghanistan in July. The Afghan political transition will be complete, and it's time for US President Obama to think about his legacy. And if the eight years of the Bush Presidency proved anything, it's that there is no better way to leave a legacy than by withdrawing from a war.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the American involvement in Afghanistan is going badly. As Iraq showed, nothing can be concluded from a single skirmish – the famous routing of the Taliban by Gen. Rashid Dostum near Mazar-i-Sharif – but this doesn't look like a one-off. If there were ever a good reason for a US withdrawal from Afghanistan, now would be it.

We are showing that psychedelics can be used in a responsible, controlled manner -- to improve the quality of life of patients with terminal illness. We are opening up an entirely new field of medicine -- psychedelic therapy.

Taking a psychedelic substance goes beyond taking a drug. It can be a full-blown life altering experience. LSD and magic mushrooms have been safely used to enhance creativity and problem solving, or simply to assist in mental exploration, or to work through psychological blocks. Actually it is not so much the chemicals that affects us as our own ability to receive and process them.
