> The multicenter, randomized, double-blinded trial tested doses of 25, 50, 100 and 200 micrograms compared with a placebo.
Recently, the scientific testing of LSD seems to max at 200 micrograms. If you read the literature from the 50s and 60s, and if you listen to many recreational users, this number is low. I am actively curious if there are measurable positive effects in the 300-500 range. It seems like 200 is where negative effects start to really appear, so the researchers are afraid of going above that because the data they collect may not look good for regulators.
Phase 3 trials targeting 100 micrograms is further along legitimizing LSD than I ever expected in my lifetime. It doesn't seem like a full embrace though.
