Emory University researchers identified that psilocin, a byproduct of consuming psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, actively delays aging in cells and organisms.

    Shouldn’t it be 1200 mg / 0.01 = 120 g of dried mushrooms?

      Thank you. I was staring at it and knew the units weren’t canceling out. That’s an insane dose though.

        Even the “low dose” is the equivalent of almost 2 oz per dose. Those mice got to convene with the mice gods on the reg I’m sure.

      (15 mg psilocybin / 1 kg body weight) * 80 kg body weight = 1200 mg psilocybin

      1200 mg psilocybin = 1.2 g psilocybin * (100 g dried mushrooms / 1 g psilocybin) = 120 g dried mushrooms

      There we go.
