Ive made a thread about this a while ago, not about LSD specifically but about psychedelics in general and their potential in low doses as nootropics.
It won't work, tolerance will develop very rapidly as your 5ht1a/5ht2a receptors downregulate.
That isnt allways the case brain, take for example a look at this experience:
I mentioned this once before in a post called LSD and its lingering effects on me. I went through a long spell of taking small doses every day, for about almost a year (9 months or so?), specifically for this very purpose.
The trick is not to take enough so that you're actually "tripping." And don't worry about the over-hyped tolerance that everyone speaks of, because I assure you that acid always works, even when taking it every day... remember the trick is not to trip, anyway.
Keeping in mind I was starting off with properly calibrated 100mcg doses, I would take approximately 20 mcg a day for a week or so, and eventually kept it at about 40mcg. A couple times I would try going over the mark (initially concerned about tolerance), but it would end up actually making me feel like I was tripping, so I would back off the next day.
I suppose a lot of how I felt that year could be chalked up to placebo effect or whatever. I don't care though. All I know is that what it did for me during that year is similar to what people who take antidepressants tell me their meds do for THEM. Only difference is I'm not (nor have I been) depressed about anything. So maybe it's better to say it's a general mood enhancer? However you slice it, low-dose LSD is a whole different ballgame from recreational (or spiritual) LSD use.

Most reports indicate that there isnt much tolerance to the treshold doses, as apposted to high psychedelic doses. My own experience wih 2CD confirms that, altough it never was really cognitive enhancing for me, it seemed to make my mind more foggy, however it did work for my chronic anhedonia and it was the only thing available for me at the time, tolerance never really became much of an issue.
