Summary

This pilot study follows 20 adults in Oregon who are using psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) to help with alcohol use disorder. Researchers are observing how often participants have heavy drinking days before and after psilocybin sessions. The study does not provide treatment itself—it simply watches what happens in a real-world clinic setting.
