Supposed Benefits Of Psychedelic Microdosing To Mental Health May Actually Reflect Strong Placebo Response
By Matthew Warren
An increasingly large body of work suggests that many illicit psychoactive drugs could be useful as treatments for certain mental health problems. Studies have found, for instance, that the psychedelics psilocybin (from magic mushrooms) and LSD can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, while MDMA may be useful in treating PTSD.
It’s a different story for a practice known as “microdosing”, however. This involves taking a small quantity of a psychedelic substance — normally too little to produce any perceptible effects — repeatedly over a period of time (every few days for several w...

Here ’ s Why Nevada ’ s Ballot Counting Is So Slow
So lots of people are asking: Why is the counting so slow in Nevada?
I’ve lived in Nevada since 2004, so I was curious about this too. You’d think the home of Las Vegas would be superb at counting – money at least – and the population of the state is only about 3 million… so what gives?
