Psilocybin and aging. “Compared to control cells, cells treated with psilocin…displayed an extension of cellular lifespan of 29%.” Peter Attia looks at this study and advises us to hold off on assuming magic mushrooms will extend human life. While a […]
A randomized clinical trial of 104 adults, including a placebo group (I wonder if those people quickly figured out which group they were in?). In any case, the results of the psilocybin group look strong. “The primary outcome was change […]

“In this phase 2 trial involving participants with treatment-resistant depression, psilocybin at a single dose of 25 mg, but not 10 mg, reduced depression scores significantly more than a 1-mg dose over a period of 3 weeks but was associated […]
“An extraordinary new study from a team of scientists at Yale University is reporting the first direct cellular demonstration of a single psilocybin dose inducing neural plasticity in a mammalian brain.” | learn more
“The results, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, are decidedly mixed with the primary depression measure revealing no significant difference between the two treatments, but a number of secondary measures notably favoring psilocybin.” | learn more
Psilocybin is the magic in magic mushrooms. Research keeps showing encouraging results when psilocybin and other psychedelics are used for mental health treatment, including the newly-published Hopkins depression study. This may be a big step toward acceptance of a new class of effective […]
“You could be eligible to participate in a psychedelic research trial. Studies of psychedelics are at various stages, enrolling both healthy volunteers and individuals with specific mental health conditions. We’ve compiled a list here of all the current or planned […]
Extracting psilocybin from mushrooms is expensive, so the alternative is to simply grow it. “In yeast, the scientists prove that psilocybin can be produced de novo, which means that you can produce the molecule by simply growing the yeast with […]
They acknowledge that agents like psilocybin can be really useful, but wish they could use them without the pesky “deleterious neurological effects.“ | learn more
