Overall interesting research, but as with any preliminary research, there are a lot of little details that aren't in the headline that are important to know when evaluating it.
A couple points:
1) the inclusion criteria include prior use of psychedelic substances
2) the exclusion criteria filters out people with a previous bad experience of having panic attacks/anxiety/etc
Those two factors alone are going to create a bias by including only people who are known to not have a negative reaction to the drug anyway, so if you've never dosed before, you cannot use this study to determine what your likely experience is. The study group is not reflective of you, and you might after dosing find yourself meeting the exclusion criteria.
Another point:
3) participants stayed drug free for 3 months before the study
This means that these results are less reflective of you if you continually microdose, as they do not account for tolerance etc over time.
