Nuh uh. I’ve seen the Last of US. We all know where this ends up
Results indicated that the mice that received an initial low dose of psilocybin of 5 mg/kg, followed by a monthly high dose of 15 mg/kg for 10 months, had a 30% increase in survival compared to mice who hadn’t received any.
So if we take a standard 80 kg adult male, 80 * 15 mg = 1.2 g, which sources indicate is enough for a standard trip. That’s also like almost half an ounce of dried mushrooms. Time to start tripping… for science.
1 oz is 28.35 g
Yeah, the paper is talking about pure Psilocybin. I double checked and the rule of thumb is around 1% psilocybin by dry weight so I was actually off and you’d need closer to three ounces.
(15 mg psilocybin / 1 kg body weight) * 80 kg body weight = 1200 mg psilocybin
1200 mg psilocybin * (1 g psilocybin / 100 g dried mushrooms) = 12 g dried mushrooms
I think it’s 12 grams dried mushrooms, which is almost half an ounce, like you first said.
Shouldn’t it be 1200 mg / 0.01 = 120 g of dried mushrooms?
Thank you. I was staring at it and knew the units weren’t canceling out. That’s an insane dose though.
Even the “low dose” is the equivalent of almost 2 oz per dose. Those mice got to convene with the mice gods on the reg I’m sure.
Boofing a whole tray of penis envy shrooms… for science
(15 mg psilocybin / 1 kg body weight) * 80 kg body weight = 1200 mg psilocybin
1200 mg psilocybin = 1.2 g psilocybin * (100 g dried mushrooms / 1 g psilocybin) = 120 g dried mushrooms
There we go.

You’d have to microdose regularly for it to matter if it actually does anything in humans for our telomeres.

Your sarcasm is noted, but seems daft when you suggest you’ll live longer because you ate a funny mushroom a couple times.

We should live in Shroom world, everybody will be connected by the mycelium, live long and prosper together.
Yes… let the cordyceps eat your brain… become one with the omnifungi… let our will become yours… listen to the mold as it whispers in your mind…
Eh, beats fascism.

Okay, sure, why not

no healthy adult should feel the need to take any drug
Need? Of course not. Desire? Certainly.
Forgive me for doubting any studies that don’t involve blinded trials… but this is just one study. Let’s see if it can be replicated before we get excited
Oh, I am going to try to replicate this study. I’ll hit you back in about 50 years if it worked.
It takes you 50 years to transform into a mouse?
Or sooner, once the medicine kicks in.
