Studies Explore the Use of Psychedelics in Delaying or Reversing Aging

Aging is the number one cause of suffering and death globally, as noted by Dr. Andrew Steele, who authored a book on longevity. Steele, who’s majored in physics, argues that people could live to 200 if we came up with pharmacological solutions to eliminate the cells that degrade tissue function. One study carried out by scientists at Harvard Medical School found that epigenetics could drive aging in an organism. The research, which used mice models, demonstrated that a breakdown in epigenetic data caused the animals to age. The researchers also observed that reinstating the integrity of the epigenome reversed these…

Why Mescaline Studies Are Few

Scores of studies on the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances have been conducted these last 20 years, with promising results showing that drugs such as MDMA, LSD and psilocybin may be useful in the treatment of various mental health conditions. These positive findings have fueled the psychedelics decriminalization and legalization movement greatly, despite the fact that the substances are illegal at the federal level. While numerous studies have been done on classic psychedelics, not enough studies have featured mescaline. Mescaline is a naturally occurring psychedelic that induces hallucinogenic effects when consumed. Some pharmacological companies and researchers have been trying to…

New Study Finds That Psilocybin Creates Strong Ties to Nature in Users

Psychedelics have been subject to an increasing amount of research in recent years in the wake of widespread drug reform.

Study Finds That Psilocybin May Reduce Suppressive Thoughts in Depressed Individuals

A surge of psychedelic research over the past decade has revealed what some scientists in the late 1950s and early 19960s suspected: hallucinogens have protective mental health properties. Groundbreaking research in recent years has shown that classic psychedelics such as DMT, psilocybin, ketamine and LSD have the potential to treat severe mental health conditions. And while pharmaceutical medications take days or even weeks of consistent dosing to kick in, psychedelics offer relatively immediate relief from symptoms with minimal doses. Consequently, millions of dollars have been allocated for the research and development of mental treatments that leverage the protective properties of…

UC Davis Launches Institute for Psychedelic Studies

After decades of criminalization by federal and state governments, psychedelics are finally seeing their day in the sun. Early research into psychedelics carried out in the late 1950s and early 1960s revealed that these substances may have some mental health benefits, but criminalization prevented researchers from studying hallucinogenic drugs further. In recent years, a renaissance of psychedelic research has shown that these drugs can have profound and long-term benefits in the treatment of several mental health conditions, especially when they are paired with psychotherapy. This has resulted in a flurry of action among institutions across the world. Big Pharma and…

Study Links Use of Classic Psychedelics to Positive Behaviors

Psychedelics have been getting an inordinate amount of media attention in recent years due to their medical potential. Although federal law forbids the production, sale and use of psychedelics, loosening policies have allowed researchers to conduct more research on hallucinogenic drugs such as psilocybin and MDMA. Initial research has revealed that these and other psychedelics may be able to alleviate symptoms of moderate to severe mental health disorders when paired with psychotherapy. As such, lawmakers in several states and even other nations such as Australia are working to loosen the restrictions on psychedelics and allow more research. A study that…

Research Highlights Possibility of Trip-Free Psychedelics

Psychedelics are poised to revolutionize the psychiatric industry over the next few decades. This is because initial research into hallucinogenic drugs has revealed that they may be able to alleviate the symptoms of mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Studies have found that even a single dose of a psychedelic, such as ketamine and psilocybin, can result in long-term benefits without most of the side effects typically seen in pharmaceutical mental health drugs. However, these hallucinogenic drugs are still psychoactive despite their therapeutic benefits, and patients usually have to go through a guided psychedelic experience, or “trip,” once…
