But such a study comes with some inherent risks as well. The team observed nine "serious adverse events," six of which "occurred during the LSD period," and three of which "occurred during the placebo period," according to the paper., but fortunately "experienced no further long-term symptoms." "It remains to be shown whether blinding can be improved with these active placebo approaches and valid blinding remains a challenge in any trials that use psychedelics as well as in many other clinical trials," the team concludes in the paper.
