This article captures the essence of a stoned hippie's vision from the 60s, embracing a future filled with understanding, compassion, and the embracing of psychedelic microdosing.
Far out, man! Gather 'round, brothers and sisters, as I spin you a tale from the hazy future, where the mystic vibrations of psychedelic substances have found harmony with the mind and soul. I've glimpsed into a world not yet realized in our time, where microdosing, the groovy practice of taking just a touch of the magic, has become a thing of beauty and wonder. So, take a seat on this cosmic journey, and let's rap about it.
Introduction, Man
You know how the world's been treating the sacred gifts of the Earth, right? All fear and bad vibes, maaan (Sessa, 2005). But I've seen a vision, man, where we've come to understand the healing energy of psychedelics. Let me lay it on you.
Changing Perceptions, Brothers and Sisters
Way Back When: People were scared, man, like real scared of these magical plants and substances, but that's just the man getting you down (Nichols, 2016).
The Future's Bright, Man: In the future, the cats are wising up, getting hip to the scene. They're starting to understand the power of love and psychedelics (Carhart-Harris & Goodwin, 2017).

What's Happening in the Lab, Daddy-O
Microdosing, the Real Trip: In the future, man, people are taking just a smidge of the stuff, like a cosmic nibble, and finding peace, creativity, and joy (Prochazkova et al., 2018).
Healing the Mind and Soul: I saw doctors, real straight types, using the magic to heal people's minds (Mithoefer et al., 2016).
Playing it Safe, Man: Don't worry; these cats know what they're doing. It's all cool and under control (Johnson et al., 2008).
Hey, man, you've gotta lay your eyes on these two sets of cosmic data below. They are shining with the benefits and challenges of microdosing, like a musical symphony for your mind and soul (Anderson et al., 2019), like tricky waves on the ocean of understanding (Nichols, 2016).
