The paper includes a caveat at the end: "Our study has several limitations. First, although the trial was formally double-blinded, assignment to placebo or LSD was unavoidably unblinded by the obvious psychedelic effects caused by the dose used."
- ryandrake 9y agoYea, I'd love to see the placebo group. "Nope... still in this universe..."
- jrowley 9y agoIn some studies they use other drugs that illicit similar but different feelings, e.g ecstasy
- DaiPlusPlus 9y ago"similar but different feelings" - it can only be one or the other...
- jrowley 9y agoThey are similar but different. They both are a departure from being sober. I think in one study about ecstasy they used an amphetamine as the placebo, because both get you wired but in different ways.
- NikolaeVarius 9y agoThey are nowhere near similar in any capacity. It's like claiming that smoking and drinking produce similar effects
- dTal 9y agoFYI, the correct spelling is "elicit". "Illicit" means forbidden or illegal, ironically in this context.
- jrowley 9y agoHaha whoops. Thank you for that!
