Ethnicity, Race Could Impact Psychedelic Therapy Outcomes

In recent years, an upsurge in psychedelic research among the scientific community has led to the discovery of psychedelic-assisted therapies capable of alleviating a variety of mental health conditions.

DiPT: The Psychedelic That Causes Auditory Hallucinations

DiPT (N,N-diisopropyltryptamine) is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family that induces auditory hallucinations. This means that unlike other hallucinogens which cause visual hallucinations by affecting an individual’s visual sense, DiPT causes hallucinations where an individual can hear sounds. DiPT was first created and experimented with by Alexander Shulgin in 1980. It is chemically related to DMT, which is another hallucinogen of the tryptamine family. How does the drug work? Despite its creation decades ago, not much is known about how DiPT works. Zeus Tipado, a psychedelic neuroscience researcher, states that researchers know that the drug affects the same region…

Research Finds That Psychedelics Users Are More Connected to Nature

Decades after the United States outlawed the production, purchase and consumption of psychedelic drugs such as LSD and MDMA, states are loosening their psychedelic policies and allowing for more research into these mind-altering drugs. Furthermore, a growing number of people are using psychedelics for recreational and medical purposes, with a recent study finding that around 28% of Americans have used LSD, MDMA, ketamine, DMT, mescaline, salvia or psilocybin. A new study has now found that individuals who consume hallucinogenic drugs such as psilocybin tend to be more connected to…

US DEA Facing Fresh Lawsuits After Denying Psilocybin Waiver, Rescheduling Request

For more than a year, a palliative care specialist has been fighting to be granted permission by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to administer psilocybin to his patients. Dr. Sunil Aggarwal had requested a federal waiver under the Right to Try statute, which would have allowed him to administer the psychedelic to his patients with terminal illnesses. Aggarwal explained that Right to Try laws clearly stipulate that severely ill individuals qualified for investigational drugs, including psychedelics. However, the DEA rejected the request as well as a petition the doctor filed to reschedule psilocybin. In its argument, the federal agency…

Microscopy Provides Insights on Psychedelics Action Inside Neuropathways

Psychedelics have been used for centuries by different cultures, with their popularity in the 1960s prompting research into their benefits. Until now, however, researchers are yet to fully understand how these substances actually work in the brain. Associate professor Alex Kwan of the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering is mapping the neural response of these hallucinogens in the brain through the use of optical microscopy. This may, in the future, lead to the development of treatments for cluster headaches and substance-use disorders as well as fast-acting antidepressants. Kwan stated that while researchers knew how psychedelics worked at the structural level,…
