ADHD & Microdosing: Science Still Cautions as Public Explores Psychedelics

Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are increasingly turning to microdosing psychedelics like LSD and psilocybin, hoping for better focus and impulse control. However, new research from July 2026, including a systematic review in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, delivers a clear message: there's very little scientific evidence to support these claims right now. One recent randomized clinical trial in March 2025 specifically found low-dose LSD no more effective than a placebo for ADHD symptoms.
