Side effects of microdosing lysergic acid diethylamide and psilocybin: A systematic review of potential physiological and psychiatric outcomes

A review of psychedelic research finds that studies vary widely in how they report side effects and often follow participants for only a short time. The authors call for future work to describe side effects more clearly and systematically. This limitation makes it difficult to fully understand the risks associated with substances like psilocybin and LSD.

Abstract

This review is limited by the heterogeneity in reporting side effects and the short duration of many studies. Future studies should transparently and systematically present a description of side effects.
