>Yes, it is very interesting, indeed! But, I find it strange that they found micro-dosing to not be effective. In humans, there are countless testimonies that micro-dosing works, subjectively, in particular with 'magic mushrooms'.
Also, I personally found the 5ht2 blockers (rather than the agonist-like psychedelics) , like nefazodone and risperidone, for myself, to work amazingly well. Those drugs are also standard treatment in autism spectrum disorder, and work miraculously well. I have worked with those patient populations for over 30 years, and can attest to that.
But....we really need more 'real world' reports, along with the controlled studies. Lab reports can look great on paper (and yes, I am a massive proponent of science..) but like the case with the supposed 'greatness' of SRI's, the actual long-term use, with compilations of subjective reports, can be very important as well.
