Microdosing and the Placebo Effect?

As I wrote in my last post that I'm yet to do psychedelics in this lifetime -
The DMT Xperience Podcast?

But I have tried placebos, and they had no effect on me, probably because I knew that they were placebo pills when I tried them and I expected them to have no effect on me, which of course could well have been a placebo effect right there, I think:-)

After listening to Gordon White talk to Vince Polito in the latest 'Rune Soup' podcast, I went looking for my bottle of placebo pills I bought years ago and found them on my bookcase next to a picture of Jesus, the gang from 'The Wizard of Oz' and a couple of books on LSD and ayahuasca, which I'm yet to read.

While I like religious art around my home, my thought on Jesus is that he never really existed in real life and is just a mythological foigure who can still pack a nice Placebo effect when it comes to pointing the way to "God".
I like the effect my flash had when it reflected off the Jesus picture creating a NDE tunnel effect. 

I also found it nostalgic when Gordon and Vince talked about the old Theosophical Society libraries and bookshops, as I used to be a member of the Brisbane Theosophical Library and would borrow books from them when I was a teenager. 
I was never a member of the Society itself though, as I didn't really agree with Blavatsky and her teachings about hidden masters and all of that BS.
I was shocked when I found out years later that Andrew the Theosophical Society librarian and palm reader, who I got a reading off once, was jailed for murder -
Speaking About Fishy Things and Librarians

The book about Andrew Fitzherbert's alleged crime

I don't believe Andrew committed that murder though.
And speaking of Andrews, my sync-head mate pictured below is related to the man who designed the layout of Australia's capital city Canberra, who Gordon talks about in the podcast with Vince.

I think life is a weird enough trip just by taking placebos really:-)
