No control. I don't believe I am affected by placebo.

Interesting - how does one determine if they are “affected by placebo” or not?

If you don't mind, you're not affected.

Or in other words: if you're affected, you don't mind.

(I'm not even joking. If you're researching a substance to use it for others, you definitely need it to control for placebo. But if you're doing it just for yourself, you only need it to work, no matter why. Another story is if it stops working)
