Psilocybin and Science
The Science of Psilocybin
There are thousands of studies and videos on psilocybin and psychedelics. Here are a few examples.
DEPRESSION & ANXIETY
Studies from 2016 found that psilocybin can significantly and quickly reduce feelings of hopelessness, anxiety and depression in people diagnosed with cancer, while a small 2020 study found that it can also help people who have treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. -National Library of Medicine
ADDICTION
Two doses of psilocybin, a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, reduces heavy drinking by 83 percent on average among heavy drinkers when combined with psychotherapy, a new study shows. Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the investigation involved 93 men and women with alcohol dependence. -NYU Grossman School of Medicine
