Microdosing psychedelics is the regular use of sub-perceptive threshold doses of substances such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin ('magic') mushrooms. The phenomenon has attracted increasing public and scientific attention in numerous countries in recent years. This commentary looks at microdosing psychedelics as an emerging facet of human enhancement through drugs. After presenting a narrative based on a multidisciplinary body of literature on human enhancement drugs and microdosing, the commentary maps out directions for further sociological studies of the phenomenon as well as outlining the different fields such research can contribute to.
微剂量使用迷幻剂是指定期使用低于感知阈值的致幻剂,如麦角酸二乙酰胺(LSD)和裸盖菇素蘑菇(“魔法”蘑菇)。近年来,这一现象在许多国家引起了越来越多的公众和科学界的关注。本评论将微剂量使用迷幻剂视为通过药物实现人类增强的一个新方面。在基于人类增强药物和微剂量的多学科文献的叙述之后,本评论为进一步研究这一现象的社会学研究指明了方向,并概述了此类研究可以做出贡献的不同领域。
