Because your one anecdotal point of uncorroborated experience is somehow more than enough to invalidate the 811 sample size of the actual, controlled study.

Self-diagnosed depression? Self-administered psilocybin? Come back and let us know when you can have psychiatrist on-hand for evaluation and accurately measured doses of pure psilocybin, you know, like an actual scientific study. Actually, it still wouldn't matter as one data point is effectively meaningless. I'm sorry you fucked yourself up a lot in a bad way, but that doesn't mean this study is invalid.
