As someone who's microdosed (though mostly normal-dosed and occasionally megadosed) in the distant past, the whole microdosing fad was equal parts entertaining and baffling. Anecdotal, but from all people I know that has taken psychedelics, only one doesn't find it to be a waste.
Maybe a better analogy would have been the Balmer curve. I wasn’t trying to imply psychedelics are unhelpful, just that we should be careful of suggesting coding productivity gains while on them.
Also IMO, the Balmer peak is a stronger effect than creatine.
