Reminds me of the documentary about Addreal and it's prevalence in tech and other high-functioning people. It quickly mentioned (anonymously) a SV tech person that switched to microdosing mushrooms rather than Addreal, and how that made everything better for her (but the documentary cut short on following up her case).


I thought you were going a different direction with that. I don't know if it was the same documentary, but the one I saw was focused on the medical and moral effects and questions around the use of Adderall in the tech population, college students, and children. The main gist I got from it was that people were using it without knowing the possible side effects, like liver issues or mood issues. And that many of the people in tech didn't actually need it but were using it to enhance performance, and found a doctor willing to write to script.
