Sign me up for a blind test (dosage ½ mug) and I would be pretty darn certain of a 100% success rate! Lots of factors at play though in individual effects - for sure.
020
MarkAdley @markadley.bsky.social · 26/02/2025
On that we agree. However if - as you suggest - it doesn’t have any effect that shouldn’t be an issue. I would certainly caution any 12-step folks about it. Dosage may also play a part in effects, of course. I say hats off to Prof. Nutt for this gem.

MarkAdley @markadley.bsky.social · 26/02/2025
I beg to differ! It may well have been placebo but I really felt this. Having said that I’ve had about 1 unit of alcohol in about 3 years so that may play a part. I enjoyed it that much I stopped buying it! 🙄
