Clinical Trial Finds Substantial Antidepressant Effects From Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy

"We found a statistically significant and very large effect," Davis said in a recent podcast.

Among 24 volunteers with major depressive disorder, researchers found psilocybin-assisted therapy was at least twice as effective as psychotherapy on its own, and more than four times as effective as available antidepressant drugs.

The drug also doesn't require taking a pill every single day, nor does it come with nearly as many side effects as antidepressants or ketamine. Apart from occasional mild to moderate headaches and a few emotional moments, volunteers in the study tolerated psilocybin quite well and there were no serious dangers.

The research included two therapy sessions on the drug with 8 hours of prep and 2 hours of follow-up with a therapist. During the sessions, a pill of psilocybin was administered and participants stretched out on a couch in a living room-like space with headphones on for musical stimulation and eyeshades on to spur inward reflection.

group dynamics make us do it

Gambling is one of the worst and has one of the highest suicide rates of any addiction. Often due the enormous amount of debt one can accumulate with little option for paying it off. Which leads to the pit of hopelessness, with suicide as the only way 'out'.


In Oregon, there are casinos EVERYWHERE. They serve no purpose but to ensnare, and I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to spend 1 second of their time in such a place.

That's just my opinion though. Problem is..this entire country and her economy is a debt based gambling system corrupt and cancerous to the core.

One of the more notable scenes in Stranger Things 3, is when Xlexi, a Russian spy is taken to an American carnival. He is told all the 'games are rigged', but chooses to play anyway and wins.

In his triumph he disregards the warning of the 'rigged game' and instead walks toward his death with a smile on his face.

It's not rigged..

It's not rigged..

There's no place like home, Dorothy..

Is it wrong to admit that not all people are created equal and same?
