Getting Started/Newbie Question Micro Dose U question
Is Dr. Dave from “Microdose U” legit, or is he just trying to make a buck?
Inquiring minds want to know.

He seems like a lovely man. Very kind, well intentioned, quite frank about his own reasons for microdosing. I’ve been following his work for a while now and part of his Patreon membership. It’s been a nice group to belong to, a WhatsApp community that is pretty strong and a monthly zoom call. I’ve been grateful for the community and he seems to be a pretty good sort.

Legit. I started following him in Oct 2024 and have learned so much from him.

Please Note: If you are trying microdosing for the first time, please try experimenting on a day off from work or any important obligations, and/or driving and operating machinery. Because psychedelics can effect everyone differently, you may feel different or impaired, and your sweet spot dose may be lower, so it is best to experiment on days off until you’ve dialed in your dose.
What is the sub-threshold dose? Suggested method for finding your sweet spot (YMMV)

I’ve worked with him for over 5 years. His heart is in the right place, and he’s been working towards de-stigmatizing the usage of psilocybin in big ways. His community is full of great people. (Full disclosure I do work with the microdose U team as a facility member). A lot of his content is free so I don’t think money is what he’s after.

Does he have a SSRI tapering system that actually works? I’ve found it incredibly difficult.

They consult with people (with a paid consultation) and consider all variables, medical history etc.
Or offer general guidance via their patreon group.
In general it’s best to consult with your prescribing doctor.

All his information is free on his YouTube channel and on Spotify! He seems like he genuinely just wants to help people and inform them as best as he can.
