Layer developed a concept for a microdosing edibles subscription service called Keia that anticipates a future where psychedelic substances are legalized. The concept is based around connecting users to small, regular doses of LSD, ayahuasca and psilocybin in the forms of rice wafers, loose-leaf tea and pastilles, respectively.
With this concept, it's imagined that the consumable products would be packaged in biomaterials that create a connection between the customer and the natural world. Benjamin Hubert and his team sees that "The project hopes to look at ways we can dispel previously held notions of psychedelics and remove them from the context of more extreme hallucinogenic stereotyping."
While the LSD rice paper wafers have the potential to boost energy levels and enhance focus, the psilocybin pastilles could be beneficial for calming anxiety, improving empathy and encouraging creativity.
