Re this.[1] Medical content should be based on high-quality sources. Non-MEDLINE indexed Frontiers Media journals, and in particular Cureus, are suspect. Bon courage (talk) 14:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I see your point about Cureus, all of these articles were acquired through PubMED and are all from peer-reviewed journals. ChasYoung4 (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:MEDFAQ#I have a source from PubMed, so that's reliable right?. Bon courage (talk) 14:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perceived spiritual experience

What is the difference between a perceived and a real spiritual experience? Isn't "perceived spiritual experience" a pleonasm? PhilClewie (talk) 22:41, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Who is right? PubChem or Wikipedia?

Who is wrong? According to PubChem, the molecule pictured in this article is this one, while psilocybin is that one. 202.171.188.236 (talk) 15:22, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Potential bias

I've noticed the 'Effects' section is very long while the 'Adverse Effects' section is very short (the caveat being 'Interactions' and similar making up more 'negative effect' length, but not being organized that way in technicality). Please analyze this and see if changing the organization can make the information look more neutral. ~2026-50158-7 (talk) 16:39, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
