🍄 Oregon's first state-regulated psilocybin program shows promising results for mental health. A study tracked 346 clients from November 2024 to June 2026, finding significant improvements in mental health, well-being, and life satisfaction within three months of taking psilocybin.
📈 Within one month post-dose, 92.2% of participants found the experience beneficial, with dramatic reductions in mental health symptoms. For example, moderate-to-severe PTSD symptoms dropped from 48% to 16.8%.
⚠️ While generally positive, the study noted rare but serious adverse reactions. 1.2% of participants (four individuals) required medical attention, experiencing severe anxiety, depression, violence, or self-harm thoughts, particularly those who were new to psychedelics and received higher doses.
