You might be hearing about states and countries legalizing psychedelics. In 2020, Oregon became the first US state to decriminalize psilocybin and legalize it for therapeutic use. In 2022, Colorado followed suit. Researchers have recently been touting the benefits of psychedelics for health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, cancer-related distress, and the list goes on. However - like cannabis - psilocybin is still illegal under US federal law.
Given that ongoing fight, you might have questions. I know I do. Are psychedelics the next weed? Is that a good thing? Are psychedelics dangerous? Do they actually have scientific benefits? How do psychedelics work? In this episode of Huge If True, we find out.

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back.
These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.

Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. Itâs wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

I have stage 4 cancer, and I have legally used psychedelic therapy to treat my end of life anxiety. (I'm the first Canadian to legally do this) I've had some extremely good results from this treatment, and I can personally verify that it is usually effective for about 6 months for me.
Thanks for helping to get good information out that might aid others who are struggling.

My parents have both done therapy sessions involving psychedelics. My dad used to be constantly angry and snapping at everyone if you don't do exactly what was said right away and mom has progressively gotten afraid of her own shadow. After the sessions, I told my dad for the first time I'm taking a break from school. I fully expected retaliation and him to make me suffer. What I got instead, was advice on how to handle my mental health and not give up on school. He's pushing me to go to therapy and my whole family to get the help we need. It isn't a miracle drug. The drug is not what made this change. However, it helped him get new incites in to what we're feeling, how he feels about everything amd everyone, and how he chooses to see the world. Mom just had her first session but she's making small strides to betterment. I feel like I lost my family a long time ago and now I feel like I'm getting them back again. It's truly a time to be alive.

Phsychedelics helped me quit illicit pills addiction, I was messed up I was depressed and a danger to myself. Good videos and help like this should be seen always.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Psychedelics is an ancient and powerful medicine. It remains the best recreational drugs to take.

Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression. The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.

I would love to see your research, writing, and filming process. You're an amazing journalist.

I had been going to therapy for about 18 months to help with depressions, anxiety, anger and alcohol misuse, while only making a little progress. I took acid at a festival and then everything that I'd been trying to change just 'fell into place'. It's hard to describe but to me it felt like someone turned a key and the door I'd been pushing on for so long just flew open. Everything fell into place instantly.

As a person who has social anxiety, I can see how this can really help! Imagine if you have an irrational fear of people because of your past experiences, which might not be significant to others but to you personally has become a point of trauma. What I would give to be able to reset my brain and clear it of the irrational fear I have of just so many things... Fears that I don't even understand fully why it happens, just that I feel its to do with how my brain decided to rewire itself due to past trauma. If you could hit the reset button on all that, imagine the years not wasted trying to rewire the brain, and instead just hit reset and start fresh! Quality of life improvement, hell yeah!

I battled with depression, anxiety & C-PTSD. I do hear that shroom cures depression. Wish doctors could be more open to nature medicine over big pharmacy but we know why though

This is so direct and complete. You deserve the utmost recognition for what you do

I have struggled with ADD/ADHD for most of my life, and I am in my late 50's. After failed efforts of trying Ritalin and Adderall, and dealing with negative side effects of those drugs, a close friend talked me into micro-dosing LSD. In desperation, I tried it. It has completely changed my life. I am a completely different person. I kept it secret from my closest friends for almost a year, but people who had known me for years talked about how I seemed like a different person, someone who was comfortable in their own skin, relaxed, self assured, thoughtful, measured. They would always joke by saying "What ever you're taking I want some of that" and I would just smile and not tell them what had changed me lol. I fear that these types of treatment will never be legal because the corrupt pharma companies have too powerful of a lobby in Washington. Pharma companies want people to remain sick. Their worse fear would be for our population to become more healthy.

Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. Itâs wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well. Canât say I donât trip once in a while.

I really appreciate not only the discussion of psychedelics but also the way the researcher characterized PTSD, depression, smoking, alcoholism as a "narrowed mental and behavioral repertoire".
I found that description to be profound in its economy of words. I think that was very validating to the experience of being stuck in one of those ruts. And the prospect of something to help blast yourself out of one is just incredible.

Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
