I'm on LSD microdose while posting this. Have done microdoses at least 100 times in the past 10 years. This article is 100% bullshit. Just ask literally anyone

  How would you know the difference between a pharmacological effect and a placebo effect in yourself? By definition a placebo effect is indistinguishable from a pharmacological effect, so you don't know which one it is. The idea of research like this is to tell one from the other because anecdata - which is effectively "asking anyone who does it" - is impossible to rely on. If I've missed your point, I think you need to unpack "bullshit" before anyone can take your comment seriously.

    This is a really hard problem. It's surely possible (maybe even probable) that these people who adamantly self report a benefit are a self-selected sub-sample of the wider population who largely would have no benefit. Nootropics, and many nutritional supplements generally, have the same problem.

    why lose trust in yourself and become owned by whatever science is popular? believe in yourself or become owned by the world. ignorance may be the price to pay but the alternative is worse
