Can You Use Psychedelics to Treat ADHD?Experts claim that microdosing with psychedelic substances such as LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and psilocybin (the active compound found in magic mushrooms) could be useful for treating ADHD.
As a result, many people are turning to psychedelics over more conventional ADHD drugs, such as methylphenidate (Ritalin), lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse), or amphetamine (Adderall).
