Why is it effective?
This is the wrong question. The right question is "Is it effective"? From your own DD:
LET ME BE CLEAR - zero point zero research has been done on the effectiveness of microdosing
there is NO research on the topic YET
I'll be honest not proven
This DD relies on five HUGE leaps of logic:
The market for these drugs is astonishingly small. The only proven market is recreational use. Cannabis recreational use in Canada is a sub billion dollar industry. Is the psychedelic industry bigger than cannabis? Not even close.
These investments are highly speculative and driven by hype, not reality. In ten to twenty years it'll be a different story. These are long-game investments, not short-term payoffs.
