Fortunately, "as safe as SSRI" is a pretty low bar.

Should we also compare the risk of addiction/dependence? Oh, yes, lets do!

Hey, while we are at it, shall we also compare effectiveness? 2 doses vs 6 weeks? Oh, wait, that's what the study did.

I wonder how many different types of psilocybin they had to test to find the effect one for these particular patients. Because, you know, getting the "right" SSRI based coctail is actual quite hard, many people go through three or four different variants before finding the one which they think works.

Yes, I'll bet they had to compare at least as many types of psylocybin before they found the combo that worked. Right?
