Having tried the 2 separately (but not together) I'd say that Joaz's description sounds about like what I'd expect for a mid-level dosage. Your focus would increase, but you'd need to remember to keep that focus on the game and not everything else.
A very patient opponent would be a nice add as well...

Man I wish I could make it. Downside, Cali is too far away from the experiment. Upside, Cali is not too far away from Cali Bud.

If they keep doing this kind of research regularly, surely it would help increase the popularity of go?

i imagine reading would be a little difficult... on higher doses of psychedelics, i think that time/sequences tend to "collapse" and i experience short-term memory loss. mathematical calculation becomes extremely difficult.
so... i'm hypothesizing that on lower doses we would see some these effects to some degree.
