Psychedelic drugs get new look from science
Psychedelic mushrooms have been a stubborn part of the nation's drug problem for decades, offering their users a dangerous, and decidedly illegal, way to warp their consciousness.
Now government-funded scientists say the active ingredient in the mushrooms should be explored as a treatment for depression, anxiety and other disorders.
In a paper published last week, scientists at Johns Hopkins University say that a single dose of psilocybin routinely brings about positive psychological changes that can last for months.
More than two-thirds of the volunteers in a study described their laboratory session with the drug as one of the most meaningful and spiritually significant events in their life, on a par with the birth of a child.
"That just blew me away," said Roland Griffiths, a Johns Hopkins scientist who led the study.
Griffiths and other scientists said the results suggest the time has come to study the scientific and medical potential of psilocybin, some four decades after the drug abuse of the 1960s ended research into psychedelic drugs.
Neuroscientists could study people under the influence of the drug to answer basic questions about human perception and consciousness. But the research also shows that scientists can safely and reliably provoke a mystical experience in a laboratory, and probe the biological basis of a phenomenon that has powerfully shaped the world's religions.
"This represents a landmark study, because it is applying modern techniques to an area of human experience that goes back as long as humankind has been here," said Charles R. Schuster, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at Wayne State University School of Medicine.
