But dude, that's the whole point of these studies! It's really hard to know what a given drug does! We should absolutely factor in people's subjective experiences and recreational experiments in terms of deciding whether it's worth investigating something more thoroughly, but once real, high-quality studies are done (especially RCTs), people's recreational experiences hold very little water when they are in conflict with the study.
- randomNumber7 3y agoYes I also misunderstood the usage. They make a therapy session once a month where the patient gets high before the session. On the other hand, they dont factor in the body mass of the patient and give everyone the same dosage. That doesnt seem high quality to me. And 120-180mg isn't just a little. Thats at the upper end of what you would take when you go to a party, just for reference. Give this to someone with 60kg body mass and they can have a very bad experience.
- ethanbond 3y agoThe dosages are discovered and defined by the Phase I trial, also in a very systematic way that is meant to break free of folk wisdom about correct dosages.
