0,8mg won't kick in more like that.
But it's still enhancing normality. It's a nice, safe use of psychedelics.

One time during my college days I was asked to hold a 1 lb bag of shrooms for a friend, which was indeed an entire garbage bag packed to the brim with dried stems and caps. My reward was 1 oz from said bag, and for a while I indeed became overly irresponsible with my usage. At one point we even tried to make shroom beer using a beer making kit I got for my birthday. It was awful as the shrooms rot in a particularly foul way, contaminating the beer with stink and making the whole concoction undrinkable.

After a month or so of microdosing before going to work at a psychiatric ward every day, I decided to blend up 7 gs with some orange juice in a blender, as I heard OJ helps to deliver the psilocybin past your blood brain barrier faster. I started painting as was my hobby at the time and for some reason became increasingly agitated, choosing a deep, dark red as my color of choice. My roommate started to freak out at my painting, which made me freak out, and soon after I started having a panic attack.

I called a friend who I knew had been prescribed antipsychotics and insisted he drive 20 miles or so to bring me one so I could get out of my state of panic. Dread closed in around me, my heart was beating super fast, and then I convinced myself I was having a heart attack. Then the strangest thing happened: I convinced myself I died, and then everything got better.

It was the second time I had experienced ego death; this time around was massively more unpleasant than the first. Then my friend showed up, delighted that I hadn't done anything (else) incredibly stupid. I asked him if he brought his pills, and he said, "Well that's the whole reason for me coming out here right?" I ended up not taking it as everything turned out to be alright. Still to this day I never tried an antipsychotic, one of the few categories of brain drugs I've just never touched (along with mood stabilizers).

Great story.
I only went through ego death one time on LSD, which gave me some work to do about my personality and life as well, but in the end it turned out to be the very best that could happen to me.
So, people condemning drugs, because of "reasons", just don't know what they are missing.
It's all in the usage, like with guns. Nobody has to use em, but if only used for (ethical) goodness, nobody would be afraid of them either.
