THE BENEFITS OF PSILOCYBIN

This strain of mushroom remains illegal in the U.S., yet this past decade has seen a remarkable increase in the medical research of this psychedelic. Let’s take a look at the numerous benefits associated with psilocybin that medical professionals continue to study.

What Is Psilocybin?

Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound that originates from the tryptamine grouping. It is commonly known for its existence in over 100 species of mushroom. The species include Psilocybe cubensis, Paneolus and Canocybe, among others. Those species are typically referred to as magic mushrooms. Psilocybin is the “magic” in magic mushrooms, as the compound has a variety of effects when ingested. Effects include both hallucinations and groundbreaking awakenings. For this reason, psilocybin has been used for decades as a traditional medicine and for religious purposes.

DO PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS HAVE A HISTORY OF USE AS A MEDICINE AND ENTHEOGEN?

An entheogen is a psychoactive substance that can be used while undergoing a mystical experience or religious ritual. Oftentimes it will be administered by either a religious leader or experienced shaman. For spiritual purposes, entheogen is believed to have been in use for more than 11,000 years. The “Stoned Ape” theory goes into detail about the possible influence psilocybin may have had in human evolution and the development of different cultures around the world.

Psilocybin Benefits

Roland Griffiths, a Psychopharmacologist, published an article in the Journal of Psychopharmacology discussing psilocybin’s ability to bring about spiritual experiences for users. Since this study was conducted in 2006, Johns Hopkins has participated in numerous studies featuring psilocybin. Most of the benefits listed below were discovered in just the past 10-15 years. Let’s take a look at a few of the most important benefits of using psilocybin.

PSILOCYBIN SHOWS PROMISE AS A TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION

Griffiths conducted a study utilizing psilocybin on nicotine-addicted patients. After administering two to three doses of psilocybin during a behavioral therapy session, he found that 80% of the patients were able to abstain from smoking for six months when following up. 60% of the group abstained from smoking for two and a half years during the next follow up. Typically, traditional smoking cessation treatments yield a 30-40% success rate after six months’ time. Patients treated with psilocybin were twice as likely to quit smoking as a result of treatment. Multiple studies have also shown that psilocybin could be an effective treatment for alcohol and cocaine addiction.

Psilocybin Properties May Treat A Variety Of Mood Disorders

A study published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs provides further evidence that psilocybin could offer therapeutic benefits in treating PTSD, depression and anxiety. These benefits can be felt by patients up to a week after the psilocybin has been ingested. Psychiatrists will classify creative thinking in two categories: convergent and divergent. Convergent thinking refers to a person’s ability to solve a specified problem. Meanwhile, divergent thinking, refers to the ability to come up with multiple solutions at once. This study found that patients given the psilocybin experienced an immediate improvement in convergent thinking. Noticeable changes could be felt within a day of ingestion. Psilocybin benefits are thanks in large part to the compound’s ability to manipulate the region of the brain responsible for mood. This could represent a potential breakthrough in cancer patient treatment.

Psilocybin May Help Advanced-Stage Cancer Patients In A Variety Of Ways

Studies continue to show that psilocybin could potentially improve the mood and overall well-being of advanced-stage cancer patients. Understandably so, these patients typically deal with a large amount of distress, anxiety and depression. In some cases, these symptoms may only exacerbate their existing conditions.

Some randomized, double-blind studies have shown low doses of psilocybin can improve mood disorders in a desirable way. One study featured a total of 51 patients who were given the compound. Researchers then followed up with the participants six months later. They discovered that 80% of the participants were experiencing reduced depression and anxiety. Psilocybin proponents are very hopeful this growing body of work will eventually result in reformed opinions regarding the psychedelic aspect.
