People have attempted controls in the past, and often it is a high dose of niacin. It causes flushing and increased HR. To someone who has experience with mushrooms they won't be fooled. To someone naive, they can think they got the real deal.
- LatteLazy 6y agoI guess (I'm no expert) we would want a little of both: A blind, Niacin trial that is not placebo controlled AND a Placebo controlled but not blind trial? I wonder what Tim Ferriss has gotten up to recently on this...
- esperent 6y agoBut how can you tell if someone has been fooled or is just saying they've been fooled? When a drug has a very clear and obvious psychoactive effect, double blind simply doesn't work.
