Abstract in brief
- The study explored the safety and feasibility of using psilocybin, a hallucinogen, alongside a structured 15-week smoking cessation program, with participants showing promising abstinence rates.
- Despite the open-label design limiting definitive conclusions, 80% of participants remained abstinent after six months, which is higher than typical cessation success rates of around 35%.
- The results suggest psilocybin could be a promising addition to addiction treatments, paving the way for future research to better understand its effectiveness and how it works in helping people quit smoking.]

Most liked on X and BlueskyAs far as I know, this is the only study that comments on whether a second dose of psilocybin increases response rates for any condition. “All participants who quit smoking did so after their initial moderate-dose session.” Anyone know of any other data? https://t.co/pi6ciqb5B6
The highest rate of treatment success for tobacco addiction is….. shrooms!
Enter psilocybin, Nayak describes the 2014 smoking cessation trial 15 participants 80% quit smoking (6 months) 67% still smoke-free at 12 months But, open-label trial, so take it with a grain of salt https://t.co/edpkpqbqJG
