The blinding? Functionally useless UNLESS the researchers genuinely believe subjects couldn't tell whether they were in a psychedelic fugue state or on a placebo. The ketanserin condition? A self-congratulatory exercise in proving that a known 5-HT2A antagonist blocks 5-HT2A-mediated effects. Stunning. rolls eyes
Then there’s the pharmacokinetics section, breathlessly confirming that LSD is absorbed, peaks, and is metabolized..just like every other small-molecule drug with hepatic clearance. The BDNF findings? A biochemical footnote with no functional correlation (tossed in for faux mechanistic depth)
