"An analysis of the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data revealed that 2.8% of participating Americans aged 12 years or older reported using psilocybin in the past year. When generalized to the full population of the U.S., this corresponds to approximately 8 million individuals. Young adults and men were more likely to have used psilocybin, while women and individuals aged 50 years or older were less likely to use it. The paper was published in The American Journal of Psychiatry." - PsyPost

The data keeps getting stronger and stronger...

The small study found evidence that a single trip may alter pathways between parts of the brain responsible for emotional regulation.

We've seen the radical changes that psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) can make in people with addictions. This latest study out of the University of Alabama - Birmingham (UAB) reinforces our belief that this type of treatment, coupled with traditional talk therapy and other types of mental health support, can be a helpful tool to break the cycle of addiction.

Thanks to the team for showcasing me in their documentary! It was such an honor to have been included with some of the leaders of the psychedelic-assisted therapy community, here in Oregon, including Heidi Venture, founder of Vital Reset.

Check out this Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) series "Superabundant", from 2024 about Oregon's psilocybin industry. Some things are a little dated but it's a good overview.

I remember growing up when smoking ci******es was the epitome of cool. As a child, I was bombarded by advertising in movies, television, and print, showing all the cool and beautiful people who smoked: movie stars, cowboys, detectives, and beautiful models. It seemed like no matter who you were or where you came from, you could embody class and sophistication by inhaling the suspended carbon aerosol of combusted to***co. It's no wonder I started smoking when I was twelve! Ah, how times have changed.

Contrary to what we were told, habitual smoking has never been good for us. Not only is it highly toxic to the user, but second-hand smoke affects those around and can lead to asthma, respiratory infections, and lung cancer.

To***co is one of the toughest drugs to quit. It may come as a surprise that ni****ne is as addictive as co***ne and he**in, and probably more so. About 70% of adult smokers surveyed, say they want to quit, yet less than one in ten succeed in any given year.

I can honestly say that quitting smoking was one of the most difficult changes I've ever made. Not only was it a big habitual shift but also a social shift as well. The friends or co-workers who would regularly "dip out" to share stories and grievances about customers or bosses, seemed much less comforting or insightful when it was rainy or freezing cold outside. Quitting smoking gave me perspective on what a serious addiction it was and continues to be in society.

This new article from the BBC shows the effectiveness of PAT (psychedelic-assisted therapy), along with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), in helping people with smoking cessation.

I did it the hard way, "cold turkey", with a couple of relapses, but what if there was an easier and more effective way to stop this addiction available to my younger self? How many years could I get back or dollars could I have saved? If I zoomed out a bit more, would my grandfather have lived longer and had a better quality of life? Maybe that's a question that only Clark Gable can answer?
