- gunshai 5y agoI think that study is focused on cognitive benifits around thi King and creativity no? Not mental health.
- roywiggins 5y agoNo, it studied "well-being, mindfulness, life satisfaction, and paranoia" also. https://elifesciences.org/articles/62878#s4 https://elifesciences.org/articles/62878#s4
- gunshai 5y agoThat study is really interesting. Thank you for linking it
- azundo 5y agoWhat's interesting to me about this study is it was done with people who already actively microdose. So they have prior experience of what non-placebo microdosing feels like to them. The placebo effect might be much stronger in that population than a population that has never microdosed. That could be great news in terms of long term benefits of microdosing by using a combo of placebo and actual psychedelics.
