Also, why haven’t any of the researches tried it? I’m curious if seeing little people is a cultural thing or an unique effect of the drug. I’m less surprised that there’s a psychedelic chemical out there that modern science has not studied yet.

Well the article mentions that people from outside of China (northern Philippines is given as an example) also report seeing the little people. Also they found historical texts from the 3rd century also mentioning the little people. So it does seem to be an effect of the mushrooms and not just a cultural thing.
