“I am very happy to admit that this is not equivalent to a clinical study, and I don’t want to dress it up like that,” he says. “This is a citizen science study that has an interesting twist that adds placebo control.” - Dr. Balázs Szigeti
“What our results are saying is that as long as there is hype and positive expectations about microdosing, people are going to get real benefits from it—it’s just that the benefits are not due to the pharmacological action of microdosing. What we showed here is that, in a way, your beliefs about the medicine that you're taking are more important than the medicine itself.” - Dr. Balázs Szigeti

Eighty healthy male participants will receive 14 doses of placebo or 10 μg lysergic acid diethylamide orally every 3rd day over a 6-week treatment protocol. A battery of personality, creativity, mood, cognition, and EEG plasticity measures, as well as resting-state fMRI imaging, will be administered at baseline and at the end of the protocol. Creativity, mood, and plasticity measures will additionally be assessed in the acute phase of the first dose. Daily functioning will be monitored with questionnaires and a wearable sleep and activity tracker."
"Trial status
The MDLSD protocol is currently on version 3.0. Recruiting of this trial is due to commence on April 12, 2021, and run through to the anticipated completion of the trial in mid-2022."
I kan selv læse det hvis i har interesse i det, men én ting er klart, det er ikke et færdig studeret emne, og uanset er det meget interessant at det stadig virker for folk hvis de bare tror at de får det, og hvordan kan vi ellers skabe den effekt? 5krs LSD 1-2 gange om ugen er temmelig billigt sluppent - ifht at vente 6 måneder på en psykolog og betale 500-1000kr per gang.
Skal da gerne indrømme at jeg aldrig har prøvet det (i en fast og længere periode, som det normalt gøres), men fremfor at sige at det ikke virker, så kan man jo netop sige at det virker, uanset om man tager det eller ej, hvis man bare tror på det.
