Micro-dosing's going mainstream partly due to Michael Pollan, partly thanks to Ayelet Waldman's new book, published this month, A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life.
From a Marie-Claire article on women getting high, so to speak:
Waldman was thrilled with the results: She regulated her own moods better and worked through marital bumps more easily. Her children—whom she told only that she was trying a new medication—gave her experiment glowing reviews. "I didn't fly off the handle as much," she says. "I wrote a whole book called Bad Mother [which was published in May 2009]. If I had been micro-dosing back then, I probably would have written Remarkably Calm, Compassionate Mother."
Waldman's got an interesting round-up of related research links on her website, like this story about women using ecstasy to treat PTSD. But she lacks Tim Doody's profile of Dr. James Fadiman, a bit of a godfather in micro-dosing circles.
