Now we are seeing evidence that exactly as described by traditional healers, these agents do in fact offer benefits for mind and mood. Interesting enough, magic mushrooms, peyote buttons and the ayahuasca brew are all referred to by those who employ them as “The Medicine,” for their broad purported healing benefits. The recent highly controlled, rigorously conducted medical studies on psilocybin show benefits indeed. |

Nine out of the 10 students given the psychedelic drug reported “profound religious experiences,” offering Pahnke what he took to be empirical evidence that psilocybin is a reliable trigger for spiritual awakenings. |

In the years between the first synthesis of LSD in the 1930s--and the disappearance of psychedelic research by the late 1960s, there was a furious growth of scientific interest in these substances. Many pioneers gave their careers to this field, hoping that psychedelic drugs could be the Holy Grail for psychiatry--like the microscope is to biology or the telescope is to astronomy--an essential tool to explore the parts of the internal world that are usually inaccessible... |
By 1965 over 2000 papers had been published describing positive results for over 40,000 patients, taking psychedelic drugs with few side effects and a high level of safety. The techniques were applied to the treatment of anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, bereavement reactions and sexual dysfunction, among others. In the treatment of addiction, repeated controlled experiments demonstrated a consistent recovery and 6 month abstinence from drinking in 50% to 90% of subjects after brief psychedelic therapy... |
Perhaps a more dispassionate criticism based upon scientific reasoning and not influenced by social or political pressures is called for if we are to truly investigate whether these substances can have a useful role in psychiatry today. |
