Abstract in brief
This study investigated how different doses of psilocybin can induce mystical experiences and long-lasting positive changes in mood, attitude, and behavior in adults.
Higher doses (20 and 30 mg/70 kg) caused more intense effects, including feelings of fear and mystical experiences, which were rated as meaningful and remained significant even 14 months later.
The results suggest that under supportive conditions, psilocybin can produce both immediate and lasting benefits, with effects increasing as the dose increases, highlighting its potential for therapeutic use.
In the 2011 Johns Hopkins study (link below) where they looked at different doses of pure psilocybin, they found that the two highest doses (20 and 30 mg psilocybin per 1 kg of body weight) induced "mystical-type experiences" in most people.

@MichaelDPlant ...there's also all sorts of subjective changes ppts report, but that sounds like the sort of thing you're aware of already.
imho good quality research is pretty sparse at this point, but due to lack of evidence, not failed attempts to find evidence https://t.co/93tBg8Ajyg

In some of the pioneering psilocybin studies (https://t.co/7Y4svMU5D3) done at Johns Hopkins University, controlled doses of psilocybin were administered to patients.
