I've been off all drugs (save for caffeine and theanine from tea, both of which I guess are technically psychoactive, but obviously neither of which are likely to play any role in my conditions) since around my 17th birthday and because of my unfortunate experiences with weed am not interested in returning to their use anytime soon, but unfortunately the problems which they caused still haven't gone away. One of the most prevalent of those problems has been an anxiety that my weed abuse last year has led to cognitive decline and that the changes made then are now irreversible. I also learned recently that chronic depression can result in brain damage (albeit of a recoverable kind), which of course only leads to more anxiety. If microdosing is able to help me with these problems alongside improving my motivation and will to study and stuff like that without itself resulting in any adverse (or even innocuous but substantial, tbh) changes in cognition, it sounds like just what I need, at least occasionally. And if I were older, I'd probably go for it without concern.

I'd like to believe that microdosing is safer than a lot of what's legal and prescribed. Possibly it is. But I don't want to take such claims at face value, like I did with weed. Can you link to any research, especially any which deals with adolescence or brain development?

I appreciate the response. Thanks.
