Fascinating stuff from Johns Hopkins work on psilocybin -- the environment and mindset someone brings really does shape their experience. Makes me wonder how much we underestimate context in other areas of our lives too.

I've been reading about how Johns Hopkins researchers found that the setting where someone experiences psilocybin - and their mindset going in - really shapes what happens. Curious how this might apply beyond just the lab?

I wonder if the reason psilocybin experiences vary so widely comes down to something surprisingly practical? Johns Hopkins research suggests that where you are and your mindset going in might matter more than the dose itself.

I'm curious how much our surroundings shape inner experience. Johns Hopkins research suggests set and setting account for much of what happens during psilocybin experiences. Makes me wonder what we're still learning about environmental influence on consciousness.
