The study, led by researchers with the University of Colorado, will give participants a 'moderate to high dose' of psilocybin before extended therapy sessions.
, a large percentage of people participating in the study reported that they'd had the most profound, or one of the most profound, experiences of their lives. It appears that those kinds of experiences can have very significant and long-lasting effects on people through a number of different indications, not just depression or palliative care.
This study will use synthetic psilocybin. What is that, exactly, and how is it made or derived? This won't be from mushrooms, then?You can derive it from psilocybin mushrooms, but the synthetic form was actually first developed by Albert Hofmann, who also discovered LSD in 1956. I think the method he devised is the one that is used currently for this kind of research.
The different varieties of cannabis play a big part in the effects experienced by users. Is it like that for psilocybin, too? Could different"strains" of mushrooms affect how we respond to anxiety or depression?The research that we're doing fits within federal law. That's a distinction, because in practice it's not fitting in with federal law.
Did you face many obstacles or challenges in getting the study or its funding approved, given the psychedelic nature of the research?We did a number of grant submissions. I wouldn't call those barriers, but anyone in biomedical research seeking money from the [] knows that they only fund studies that are able to demonstrate the highest-caliber science. They really pressed us on our research design and how we presented our ideas to be able to convey the most rigorous science possible.
