Having previously volunteered for an LSD study, it probably isn't as much fun as it sounds. The study I was on was conducted on a cold hospital ward with bright fluorescent lights, and required having vital signs measured throughout -- not an ideal environment to trip in. One participant in my group stood up and walked out mid-briefing. Thankfully I wasn't chosen, though everyone there looked terrified.
The research and campaigning done by the Beckley Foundation [1] and MAPS [2] is absolutely fantastic though, and I encourage everyone to check out their work.

- dovdovdov 9y agoThanks for your insights, I imagined a somewhat similar situation.
- blacksmith_tb 9y agoHmm, that could just have been a poorly-designed study - most sleep studies are not conducted in brightly lit rooms, I assume because researchers can imagine that it wouldn't help anyone sleep; you'd hope that they could bring similar reasoning to bear on hallucinogens.
