lol I once emailed Matt Kaeberlein “what would happen if you fed LSD to C. elegans…” [i’m sure he didn’t know…]

and I did ask about controlled substances to the wormbot project [harder, hence i didnt get a chance to submit any compound yet]

but… turns out this question was prophetic/far more relevant than i thought… [still you must be skeptical until it replicates

Psychonauts really are some of the kindest, most-openminded people EVER and it has only done me good to hang with them, even as I have to take an extremely long break from them for now.

I would be interested to see controlled substances in the wormbot, particularly psilocybin.

A long time ago, psilocybin cured me of any desire to take hallucinogens.
