Combination in microdosing
Hi @Bon courage, I don't understand why you reverted my edit, commenting "Rv. weak primary source not supporting claim".

The first source is a survey of 4,050 microdosers: "The ranking of the most popular type of stacking was the same for psilocybin and LSD, with addition of Lion’s Mane mushroom reported by 39% of microdosers (n = 1575), niacin (18%, n = 727), and chocolate (5%, n = 217). Additionally, 16% of microdosers reported the combination of Lion’s Mane and niacin (n = 662)."

The second one, also cited in the above article, is Stamets, P. Psilocybin Mushrooms and the Mycology of Consciousness (Invited talk at Psychedelic Science, 2017: "Chocolate and cacao remain popular additions to psilocybin, whereas as adding Syrian rue (Peganum harmala), Lion’s Mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) and/or niacin appear to be more recent phenomena"

Why do you say that these sources do not support the claim that "Psilocybin microdosers often combine psilocybin with other substances such as Hericium erinaceus (HE) and Niacin"? A455bcd9 (talk) 13:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a primary source in a weak journal, so not suitable for use; and a survey of self-appointed microdosing English-speaking iPhone users is not generalizable to a universal assertion. The second source is worse. Wikipedia is meant to reflecting accepted knowledge to really we need strong secondary sources here. Bon courage (talk) 14:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
