Johns Hopkins Research Question
    #7794846 - 12/24/07 07:01 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Re-reading some drug manifestos I wrote about a year ago, I'm reminded of a Johns Hopkins study on psilocybin. The acute (7-hour) and midterm (2-month) results were published in July '06. A report on year-long effects was forthcoming, and should be out by now. I tried searching for it on Google and this site, and haven't found the year-long report. Not trying to get other people to do the work for me, but someone might have their nose to the ground of psychedelic research more than I do.

Any idea where I could find the long-term report on the study? These were the 2-month findings from the study I'm referencing:

"Thirty-three percent of the volunteers rated the psilocybin experience as being the single most spiritually significant experience of his or her life, with an additional 38% rating it to be among the top five most spiritually significant experiences. In written comments about their answers, the volunteers often described aspects of the experience related to a sense of unity without content (pure consciousness) and/or unity of all things."
---From The Johns Hopkins Study

There may be a link from www.maps.org if it was recently published.

"Six of the eight volunteers with a notable anxiety/dysphoria response had mild, transient ideas of reference/paranoid thinking sometime during the 6 h after psilocybin administration. These effects were readily managed with reassurance and did not persist beyond the session. Two of the eight volunteers compared the experience to being in a war and three indicated that they would never wish to repeat an experience like that again. Despite these psychological struggles, most of these participants rated the overall experience as having personal meaning and spiritual significance and no volunteer rated the experience as having decreased their sense of well being or life satisfaction."

Ask a silly question, get a legitimate response. All of my trips have had at least one horrifying moment.

This didn't happen to me, but... Johns Hopkins knows what's up, that's all I got to say. I spent 11 days in their Baltimore psyche ward in high school and I'm cured. I'm not crazy anymore. My roomate was a crack, heroin, and alcohol addict who was shackled to his bed at night and would shake and writhe so loudly that it was impossible to sleep. He was also obsessed with the image of the man he had allegedly killed and would daily describe the splattering of blood from the victim's exploding chest. This was a spiritual experience for me, being a 17 year old livining in a rural suburb, who's best friend's dad had recently died. I'd been tripping lots right up until the point they committed me. They never gave me any psychedelic drugs, but they had me piped full of Nortriptylene and some other crap that made me a zombie. I made a small fortune selling Newports to the other crazies. Upon my release, I knew that deep in a National Geographic was hidden a 5 strip of the rambling rose acid from the late 90's Grateful Dead lot. Nobody warned me that it wouldn't degrade over an 11 day period. I swear I'm not crazy. this is fiction, of course.

I had to go to the hospital for sinus treatment a couple years ago. I recommended THIS to anyone with sinusitus or nasal problems. It's amazing!
