Psilocybin Doc Seeks Cancer Patients for Clinical Trial

Psilocybin Doc Seeks Cancer Patients for Clinical Trial
July 1, 2008 - WIRED

People struggling with the psychological stress of a cancer diagnosis may wish to ditch the anti-anxiety medications in favor of psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms.

No, they shouldn't run down to the local college campus center waving fistfuls of cash and a Disco Biscuits t-shirt. But they might consider contacting Roland Griffiths, a Johns Hopkins neuroscientist who studies the therapeutic potential of psilocybin.

Griffiths recently showed that psilocybin's spiritual effects can be long-lasting and profound. Now he's studying whether the drug -- administered in a controlled setting by trained professionals, in compliance with FDA guidelines -- can help people deal with the trauma of cancer.

"There were some studies suggestive of those possibilities back in the 1960s and 1970s," said Griffiths. "The primary mystical experience might fundamentally change the perception of disease and perhaps quality of life in people distressed by life-threatening diagnoses of cancer."

Anyone interested should visit the trial website for more information and talk it over with their doctor and family.

I'd do it.

But I would rather obtain them illegally than get cancer to eat them legally

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.
