I want some.
Also, why haven’t any of the researches tried it? I’m curious if seeing little people is a cultural thing or an unique effect of the drug. I’m less surprised that there’s a psychedelic chemical out there that modern science has not studied yet.
Well the article mentions that people from outside of China (northern Philippines is given as an example) also report seeing the little people. Also they found historical texts from the 3rd century also mentioning the little people. So it does seem to be an effect of the mushrooms and not just a cultural thing.
Yeah I read that but it could still be something that has been spread across Asian regions. I agree though, there’s likely something specific to the shroom.
there’s also conditions that result in you seeing things as very small or large, so there are brain malfunctions or conditions not related to consumption of substances that cause similar effects, your brain can see people or human figures more often in visual stimulation in certain circumstances, so a mushroom causing you to see small people could mean it creates those conditions in brain function where you see human figures more and their size is distorted. this could be brain function and not a cultural response to intoxication.
They probably shouldn’t try it to avoid introducing bias
I would guess the isn’t cultural as the idea of “people, but small” isn’t very specific. It’s probably similar to the “machine elves” users of DMT often report
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Similar to the interconnectedness people experience with psilocybin.
Well now I’m curious if this was the source of inspiration for Common Side Effects
It’s almost like people struggle to track all that happens when an incredibly complex system of organic matter is ingesting an incredibly complex system of organic matter with almost innumerable variables
Could be placebo?
