So no citations then? Seems pretty trollish after making demands for citations just prior.

So, just to be clear, you have no evidence of renal failure from psilocybe cubensis?

Actually, the citations above already warn 40% of users have neutral to negative side effects, and doesn't get into the consequences of allergic or nausea related symptoms (about 2 of the 5 papers seem of reasonable quality.)

So to be clear, cancer patients have a lot of other problems that likely would confound which reported symptoms are related to which medication.

Someone with access to the PsycINFO database login could clarify things for sure. If I recall it was a few cases of micro-dosing related organ failure cases that caught my attention. No idea which specific psilocybe mushroom was responsible.

The Natives also used Datura, but rolling in your own excrement naked for 2 weeks with severe hallucinations isn't a popular recreational experience for some reason. A few kids die every so often trying to prepare the plant.

Have a great day, and stay healthy =3
