- Mo3 4y agoSo you're saying the effects of LSD are a placebo?
- epgui 4y agoThat’s not what I’m saying, but yes, a very large part of the effects of any drug (recreational or not) you know you’re taking can be attributed to the placebo effect. There’s this thing called the placebo crisis going on at the moment, which is making it harder and harder to validate drug candidates: because medicine is improving, people’s faith in it is increasing, which in turn increases the strength of the placebo effect, which raises the bar for drug candidates.
