> Psilocybin is active in such a way that it is obvious to the subject if they received placebo or the treatment.

Not really true. "Medicinal doses" are typically a gram or less, unless a heroic dose (>3g) is somehow medicinal now. Under a gram the effects are pretty subtle with strains like Golden Teachers. If they're using Albino Penis Envy's then the effects could be a bit more pronounced, but really only to a regular psilocybin user. You could easily induce the yawning and giggliness via other drugs.
