Another week, another pile of new psychedelic studies. We read them all so you don't have to. This week: 1 in 14 Americans with depression used psilocybin in the past year, an LSD pill for anxiety, and what happened to 2,363 people at legal psilocybin centers 🧵

Depends on the price of caffeine and LSD in your local area
I'm confused what was the cost of generating a scientific hypothesis before AI?
