E73: All Panic All The Time No Disco

We've been teasing this topic for a LONG time and now, Katie is finally telling us all about microdosing PCP and magic mushrooms. So drop some acid and crank up your headphones to get the lowdown on this trendy practice of takeing sub-psychosis doses of mind-altering substances. Some folks claim microdosing has helped cure their depression, severe PTSD, ADHD, extreme anxiety and other phobias - but what does the science say? Listen to this episode to find out the benefits, pitfalls, and historical basis of this on-trend practice.    Be sure you're following us on Instagram @thebarisanklehigh - it's free and you can watch our stories and participate in our weekly episode title poll contests!
