Not sure how they define healthy... Like others on this thread, have witnessed plenty of seemingly 'healthy' cause a lot of damage to themselves with Psyches.

Are they going to test if it has detrimental effects on people with TRD or PTSD? I would imagine they'd be substantially more at risk for adverse effects.

- VeninVidiaVicii 5y agoFrom my casual reading of these journal articles over the past several years, it's easy to make such statements about "healthy" people. Any underlying psychiatric disease discovered _after_ psilocybin can be retroactively applied to the participant. "Oh, that guy had underlying bipolar disorder and therefore wasn't healthy."
- josephcsible 5y agoExactly. These kinds of papers are a great example of the no true Scotsman fallacy. And even if it were just "revealing" mental illnesses in people who already had them latently, most of them probably could have gone their whole lives without it had they never used drugs, so in practice even that's no different from just causing the illnesses.
