Tbh I’ve had more consistent positive experiences - and more consistent positive long-term effects - from lysergic acid diethylamide than psilocybin.

I've not had any long-term effects from acid yet. Did you take large doses? Most I've done was 200ug

As someone who has taken high doses of psilocybin while also being depressed, I’d like to declare shenanigans on this particular study. It fucked me up a lot and not in a good way at all.

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.
