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 now I'm curious if this was the source of inspiration for Common Side Effects

Could be placebo?

It's not a magic mushroom without the magic. It's a magic mushroom where science can't explain where the magic comes from.

Not that it can't explain, but that the typical suspects aren't here. It could very well just be a new kind of chemical that's not being tested for, because they don't know it exists yet.

Plot twist - It's not a hallucinogen, it just lets you see the little people who are always there!

Oh, so like these bitchin' sunglasses I found the other day?

That's the concept behind the researchers who are sending folks into DMT trips with complex math problems, trying to see if the entities people encounter will return a correct answer, thus establishing first contact.

.... They actually got that approved? Fuck me, I couldn't even get my "impact of common coffee blends on researcher productivity" project past the IRB.
