Magic mushroom drug tested as potential breakthrough for opioid crisis

NCT ID NCT06786325

Summary

This study is testing whether a single dose of psilocybin, the active compound in 'magic mushrooms,' can help people with opioid addiction. Researchers will give 36 people in treatment either a 25mg dose or a very low 1mg dose to see if the higher dose improves their ability to think flexibly, reduces their opioid use, and helps them stick with their medication-assisted treatment. The study will track participants for a year to see if the treatment has lasting benefits.
