"Two psilocybin sessions (session 1: 20 mg/70 kg; session 2: 30 mg/70 kg) were given (administered in opaque gelatin capsules with approximately 100 mL of water) in the context of supportive psychotherapy (approximately 11 hours)."

Curious if that's enough for the patients to have a psychedelic experience.



From wikipedia on Psilocybe cubensis:

"The concentrations of psilocin and psilocybin, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, are in the range of 0.14–0.42% and 0.37–1.30% (dry weight) in the whole mushroom"

My napkin math: 20mg is equivalent to roughly between 1.1g to 3.9g of dry weight (lots of variance in potency). This weight range is roughly equivalent to typical recreational dosages.


It its pure psilocybin, I'd imagine show. If it was mushrooms, that's not even a micro dose from what I understand.


That should be a medium dose, I think.
