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.

Wow you sure seem to know one hell of a lot about the inner workings of this newly discovered phenomena.
Your sarcasm is noted, but seems daft when you suggest you’ll live longer because you ate a funny mushroom a couple times.

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…
WE ARE THE ONE!

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.

(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.

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?

Not sure where you read any of that in my posts.

Or sooner, once the medicine kicks in.

Need? Of course not. Desire? Certainly.

Whoa. You’re a mouse now?

Wake me up when once there are results of a well-designed clinical trial.
My understanding of the article is they’re extrapolating from experiments on mice and on a few human cells in a lab.
