Someone needs to study the brains of ADHD people who "suffer" from hyperfocus, and find a way to coax out this exceptional state of consciousness. For me, for whatever reason, a lot of times it happens after I get just a few hours of sleep, have an articulate dream, then somehow my sleep is broken or interrupted. If I could make my brain do this 12 hours a day, I'd be like Bradley Cooper in the Limitless movie.
Limitless is the holy grail everyone is looking for.I recently did a post on microdosing psychedelics ( https://steemit.com/subculture/@lpfaust/subcultures-and-social-trends-microdosing-psychedelics-the-limitless-career-enhancement-tool ) and one of the more interesting things I cam across during my research was people with ADHD microdosing as an alternative to Adderall and Ritalin. The other thing I found interesting was people who do not suffer from ADHD at all were microdosing to get into that hyperfocus state you are writing about. Seems tht
I'm a huge fan of psilocybin. I've taken it over 100 times.
And your article is a great read. I never had any experience microdosing (smallest dose was about 2.5 grams). I usually would start off at 4-5 at least, and I had plenty of 7 gram doses. Only once I took 14 grams, and that night was so insane, lol.
The flow state thing you mentioned I totally agree with. I'm a guitarist, and psychedelics would most certainly bring on flow states, and almost every time I used them. I would get into the best flow states after I came down off my peak. I wrote so much amazing music those nights.
But I only dose about once every year or 2 anymore.
