What does "naturalistic" mean in this context? Couldn't see it defined, though it's used throughout the bits I read.

I also couldn't find a concrete definition in the article, but judging from its use, I would assume it's describing regular use outside of controlled clinical settings.

Cool thank you!

Probably the normal definition, which means eating mushrooms, not extracting the chemical, concentrating it, measuring the purity, and dosing it out.

But yeah, would be good to be clear.

Other user suggested 'not consumed in a clinical setting' as well, which is an important distinction.

Thanks for the insight!
