I get that you could potentially hide the MDMA/placebo choice from the therapist. But how would you even design a study that hides it from the patient, given the really high doses? I've seen them described on HN as higher then what people would normally take, even for really strong experiences. I assume you can't fake that.
- steveylang 2y agoThere might be some deliriant that produces altered states of mind, such that a patient with no MDMA/psychedelic experience could be blinded. That could also potentially work for the therapist or facilitator. If the control was essentially a sugar pill, I think any reasonably experienced therapist or facilitator would easily recognize whether a patient is under the influence of a psychedelic.
