Just published today in Nature Scientific Reports! "Adults who microdose psychedelics report health related motivations and lower levels of anxiety and depression compared to non-microdosers”
Fellow Myconauts
We are greatly honored to notify you of our new paper published in Nature's Scientific Reports
Freely available online at www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-01811-4
Using the www.microdose.me, developed by Quantified Citizen, our team worked for more than two years gathering data on more than 8000 people, and within this set there is a surprising balance of more than 4000 non-microdosers compared to more than 4000 microdosers.
We hope this data will be useful for informing physicians in designing clinical studies.
We will have some more updates soon. Very exciting times!
We all are part of a great community, and...one giant consciousness.
We have much work to do. We have a planet and people to save.
Thank you deeply for your support on this shared journey.
Stay safe. Be hopeful. We can co-invent our future together.
Respectfully, Paul

Update: "While these findings are positive overall, and have been received with some optimism, they have not been without controversy. Some have pointed to the lack of placebo control and an absence of any mention of expectancy effects in the paper as reason to dismiss the results. While it is certainly possible that observed benefits were due to placebo, this was outside of the remit of the paper, which aimed to compare the practices, motivations and mental health of microdosers and non-microdosers. Furthermore, the paper does address response bias, which is more relevant than placebo or expectancy effects in the context of cross-sectional designs."
