To learn more about the potential benefits of psilocybin, researchers conducted a longitudinal survey with eight participants who were granted Section 56 exemptions to access legal psilocybin. The researchers conducted a series of sessions with the participants to prepare them for taking psilocybin, and then administered the drug in two sessions one week apart. Participants completed surveys at baseline, one day and two weeks post-treatment (endpoint) to assess a range of symptom dimensions. These included depression and anxiety, physical pain, fear of death, spiritual well-being, relationships with family/friends and past trauma.

The study found that at the six-month follow-up, 80% of participants had a significant reduction in their depression and anxiety scores. The results also showed that the improvements were sustained over the six months after the treatment. The study’s authors note that this finding supports the use of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, a condition not currently addressed by any existing treatments.
