> Heroic is usually considered at least 5g 5g of actual mushroom fungus bodies? Yeah, this was just chemical psilocybin on it's own nothing else, and if I remember right the dose was consequently measured I think in mg rather than g, but they did use the phrase "sometimes called 'heroic'" when I asked about the dose, so, yeah, something like that. (They were clear that it was going to be a very large dose -- informed consent!) > So instead you'd train yourself to acknowledge all aspects of you in that moment and instead The counselors/guides involved definitely had a sort of Buddhist philosophy, with regard to quitting smoking as well as the psilocybin session. I find Americanized (not to be pejorative, just we're always in our culture) Buddhist philosophical approaches to be increasingly popular among therapist and mental health experts generally. But they definitely were here. I have an interest in them myself. I do not actually think I have a particularly "open-fluid" mind, compared to others, but I guess I'm trying (-without-trying). :) > I wonder if the researchers first created a survey to determine the level of this kind of psychological flexibility a person has, and then see how those different groups perform in the psilocybin research They definitely gave me all sorts of survey instruments, at various points in the study. Most of them multiple times, at various points before and after the session. It sometimes seemed obvious what they were "for" from the questions, other times mysterious. My sense is that while some of it may be, like you say, to see what kinds of people might have different outcomes -- more than this, I think a lot of it was to see if the psylocybin session changed people in what ways. I don't think it actually changed me in a way that would show up on the survey instruments (I was kind of hoping it would!), but I haven't seen the analysis of my survey instruments, and I didn't keep copies of my answers!
