It's important to remember that the 'dose makes the posion' and thus any investigation in psychedelics needs to be administered or studied in a rigourous fashion with a great deal of oversight.
Hi Joathan, I just came across this short article that summarizes a study looking into the effects of Psilocybin. It seems to not have any negative effects on healthy people (given at specific dosages) and can be a potential treatment for depression or PTSD (under the supervision of a health professional).
It is shown in studies: Psychedelic drugs have positive effect on depression and Post traumatic stress disorder.
They act as are receptors for serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter associated with mood. They increase the production of serotonin. Studies on animal shows that: Psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin, enhance neuroplasticity means they help brain to make new neuronal connections.
