A single dose of psilocybin eases existential anxiety in people with life-threatening cancer for up to six months
In a small double-blind study, Johns Hopkins researchers report that a substantial majority of people suffering cancer-related anxiety or depression found considerable relief for up to six months from a single large dose of psilocybin — the active compound in hallucinogenic "magic mushrooms."
Does it ease existential anxiety if you don’t have cancer? Because I’d like some of that if so.
It does, actually. At least for my partner and I
Official evidence-based answer: The little research we have suggests that psilocybin can decrease anxiety (and depression) not just in people with life-threatening illnesses, but in anyone. This meta-analysis is a good place to start.
Anecdotal evidence answer: We have case studies and observational reports from clients that indicate anxiety gets reduced and stays reduced for at least a few weeks.
Personal experience: Yes, it reduced anxiety, especially social anxiety for me.
There is plenty of great info on the web, and I'm really looking forward to this book coming out "Psilocybin Therapy: Understanding How to Use Nature’s Psychedelics for Mental Health" in April of 2024. If you want something available now, "Psychedelics For Everyone: A Beginner’s Guide to these Powerful Medicines for Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, PTSD, and Expanding Consciousness" is a good option.
Please note that all of this research is on macrodosing, not microdosing.
