how would you propose setting up a double-blind trial for a psychedelic?



Most of the setup described here includes conditions similar to sensory-deprivation tanks. Those can induce hallucination without psychedelics.

More importantly, I would match the amount of therapy: all those offer an astounding level of discussion with people that might be professional, trained therapists or not. That’s the massive difference between a lot of different treatments, not the molecule — surprise, they lead to massively different outcomes.
