Summary

This study looks at whether a single 25 mg dose of psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) can be safely given to people with cocaine use disorder who want to quit. Ten adults from Los Angeles will take the drug in a comfortable room with two clinicians present, and their heart rate, blood pressure, and mood will be checked for six hours. Researchers will also follow up remotely for 90 days to monitor any lasting effects. The goal is to see if psilocybin is safe enough to study further as a treatment for cocaine addiction.
