On: First-Ever LSD Microdosing Study Will Pit the Human Brain Against AI

[adrianN]

Gwern did some self-experimentation with LSD and didn't find any significant effects: https://www.gwern.net/LSD%20microdosing

Since this is a sample with n=1, that doesn't mean there is not significant effects in certain population of people.

Yeah, Gwern is pretty explicit about the point that he's interested in what works for him, and makes his data available just in case its interesting.

I tend to assume that when he has positive results it's informative (as an existence proof at least), but negative results may not be universal.

there were a few problems with gwern's methodology IIRC. didn't test a perceptual dose after dissolving it, and also didn't get energy control (spanish lsd-testing lab) to evaluate potency.

I did and I did.

Can we see the methods and data?
