    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?

            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

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

                    A newly published study in Nature Partner Journals’ Aging demonstrates that psilocin, a byproduct of consuming psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms,

                    Maybe my memory is wrong, but I had it the other way around: Psilocin is the active substance, but its not very stable. Psilocybin gets metabolized to Psilocin. Calling it a “byproduct” is kind of underselling it. Psilocybin itself isn’t active by itself.

                    Quick wiki check confirms this. I always have troubles with articles opening with. I can’t even read that as unfortunate wording.

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

                                (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.

                                  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.
