It's also not the best idea to tell whatever board is reviewing your proposals, "just take psilocybin yourself and you'll understand"

You fortunately don't need medical research in learning how to live your life and experience meaning.

It's great if we have therapies that help people and get a proper scientific stamp. Yet we can also discover the benefits for ourselves before that stamp is given.

Here I'd disagree with you. I do need to know if you become happier because you become dumber due to brain damage or for some other magical reason. So far I haven't seen any evidence contrary to the dumber explanation.
