LSD

LSD was first synthesized in 1938 from ergot fungus and causes hallucinations by affecting multiple receptors in the brain. A single dose is extremely small, measured in one hundred thousandth of a gram, but can cause changes in consciousness and altered perceptions that last up to 12 hours. While hallucinogenic effects occur at recreational doses, microdosing LSD in even smaller amounts has been found to increase optimism, creativity, and reduce anxiety without hallucinations.
