Abstract in brief
The study found that psilocybin treatment in patients with treatment-resistant depression increased their sense of connection to nature and decreased authoritarian political views, with these effects lasting several months.
The research involved administering two doses of psilocybin, with positive changes observed one week and up to 7-12 months afterward, suggesting potential long-term shifts in attitudes and beliefs.
No significant changes in these measures were observed in healthy controls, indicating that the effects might be specific to individuals with depression; however, further research is needed to confirm causality and broader implications.]

Psilocybin may decrease authoritarian views says science and thousands of people in the 60s.

@jennierubyjane 우리의 최근 상관관계 연구에 따르면 일반 인구의 평생 환각제 사용은 자연 관련성을 긍정적으로 예측하고 권위주의적 정치적 견해를 부정적으로 예측하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 급성적이고 일시적인 '자아 해체'에 의해 매개되는 것으로 나타났습니다(Nour et al., 2017).

Finns även akademiska texter som berör kopplingen mellan psilocybin å ideologiska strömningar, här ovan är ett exempel.

Psilocybin can produce "sustained changes in outlook and political perspectives."
The faster that we can scale #psychedelics like psilocybin into mass #culture, the greater our chances of solving the #Political gridlock of the #ClimateCrisis.

@bruces Counterpoint :
If it's being sold as a cure for mental illness, the Market has decided that it must BE a cure for mental illness.
Psilocybin makes you less conservative.
Ergo, if this is successful, conservatism is a mental illness.
