I agree and have literally done that exact thing for that exact purpose... but not everyone does.

My point was just that having a drug that doesn't require tripping balls in a tightly controlled setting is a good idea. Not everyone is up for it (personality, circumstances) and any trip has risks, you need monitoring which takes trained manpower etc. - it's worth it while we have no other treatment, but it isn't very practical for a bunch of reasons.

Microdosing would be dependent on the chemical.
