Anecdotally I've seen these effects in someone I care about. They live a very healthy life and do all the other stuff well, but still no effect. They take one medium dose of psychedelics and are transformed for weeks. The effects do wear off. That effect by the way is the extremely esoteric "feeling openness". It is night and day for how they feel socially.
I also have not read this study yet judging from a few comments it's not really randomized or blinded or anything.so the takeaways are very minimal.
- throwamon 5y ago> They take one medium dose of psychedelics and are transformed for weeks How much is this "medium dose"? In all likelihood it's not a microdose, which is what is under discussion. It's well known that higher doses can have lasting effects.
- gunshai 5y agoYou are correct that this isn't in the realm of micro. I was more speaking to the substance than the dose.
- Dumblydorr 5y agoI don't think feeling openness is extremely esoteric. One of the five basic personality traits is Open-Mindedness. It allows us to accept data with less bias, prediction, and judgment. It allows us to refresh our browsers, clear our cache, and garbage collect our minds. Open-Mindedness is a wonderful trait that everyone should cultivate.
