Unrelated, but sites like these always temper the excitement for me about psychedelics.
If psychedelics could really revolutionize human consciousness and open new frontiers, you would think they would be able to make a less crackpot looking site.
Same with Terrance Mackena. All these people who preach psychedelics don't end up accomplishing much besides writing profusely about psychedelics.
However on the other hand we have Cricks and DNA and LSD so who knows.

Likely a confirmation bias (?) - the people who spend the most time raving about psychedelics probably don't spend much time on other projects. The users working on other projects don't spend a lot of time advocating for psychedelics.

I have not read it completely yet, but it seems it lacks any sort of blind trial and control group; hence, it fails to account for placebo effect. Given the nature of the experiment, I believe placebo effect could have significantly altered the results.
