I do understand that they are talking about micro dosing. I suppose I don't really know what the definition of micro dosing is. Is it taking something and not crossing the threshold for it to have any effects? If so what would the point of that be... Is it taking the minimum amount to pass the threshold?

I have experienced the effects I talked about above with 300-500 mg doses of raw mushrooms. I don't know the amount of psilocybin... But that is a relatively small dose of mushrooms.

Hey btw sorry I changed my message last minute. I realized I sounded like an asshole so I edited it.

I would say microdosing should allow for the placebo to be effective. So yes, no visible effects. However, it doesn’t seem like they succeeded 100% on that.
