Psilocybin Microdosing

 

 

A final 3 Amigos analysis of changes in mood found no significant differences between the psilocybin only and psilocybin + HE and psilocybin + Lion’s Mane and B3 microdose groups across time. Further moderator analyses that controlled for age and mental health concerns also failed to identify significant effects. However, these results do provide preliminary credence to anecdotal reports that long-term microdosing of psilocybin can improve mood, mental well-being and cognition. However, this research needs to be replicated across diverse samples and investigators before any clinical implications can be considered.

In the meantime, careful consideration of established protocols and emerging trends like “stacking” are essential for those considering taking psilocybin. This includes following a strict schedule for dosing, sourcing these substances responsibly, and being aware of potential risks. A new study tracked internet search histories to track public interest in mushrooms, finding that searches for psilocybin have begun to outpace those of LSD.

A separate study from UCSD tracks drug busts, finding that as states become more liberal about substance use, arrests of mushrooms rise. That study is published in Friday’s JAMA Health Forum.
