The author should do a placebo test on himself. Find an identical looking sugar pill and put them in one of those small film canisters - one pill per canister. On the bottom of the canister write if its real or placebo. Wake up and grab a canister out of a hat at random. Down the pill with a glass of wanter and begin your day. After the next day (or number of days) go back and determine if you were on the drug or not.
- DavidSJ 16y agoGood idea. I imagine an identically looking sugar pill might be hard to find. It should also be identically tasting.
