Have you heard of the practice of microdosing? Taking tiny quantities of psychedelic drugs to boost brain power, used by creatives, entrepreneurs and biohackers who claim it makes them not only more focused and more creative, they say it also lightens their mood and boosts their self-confidence. The question lies, is microdosing a life hack, supplement, or medicine?

She has been in service of the Psychedelic Renaissance since 2003, working with several organizations that promote psychedelics research, such as Synthesis Institute, the OPEN Foundation and the Dutch Psychedelic Society.
