> Virtually all of the clinical trials and robust research studies psilocybin in conjunction with 10 or more non-psychedelic therapy sessions.

Tangential, but I've noticed that all the psilocybin trials I've read about are combined with therapy as well; my knee jerk assumption is that there are legal/moral/funding powers at play causing that. Not sure a study would get funded if it consisted of "we're going to get a bunch of depressed people to take shrooms and see what happens!".

The more scientific approach would be to separate the therapy group from the shroom group.
