A recent study has shown that even very low doses of LSD can enhance the complexity of brain activity, a finding that might have significant implications for our understanding of consciousness and possibly for therapeutic applications. The study, published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, found that while substances like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and methamphetamine did not produce the same effect, LSD distinctly increased neural complexity and affected brain wave patterns associated with states of consciousness. Neural complexity is a concept that attempts to quantify the intricate pa...

New research suggests that low doses of MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, can help to reduce the challenging effects associated with psychedelic drugs like LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and psilocybin, the active component in magic mushrooms. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, shed new light on the effects of “candy flipping” and “hippy flipping”‘ – terms used for the co-administration of LSD or psilocybin with MDMA. MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD are psychoactive substances known for their potent effects on human perception, mood, and consciousness. The motivation for this study was ...

A recent study has unveiled a significant increase in the use of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) among business managers in the United States. The research, published in the journal Substance Use & Misuse, sheds light on a growing trend of LSD use that appears to be particularly pronounced among those in managerial positions. The study, aimed at understanding evolving patterns of substance use, comes as part of a broader resurgence of interest in classic psychedelics like LSD within both scientific and public circles. It sought to examine whether anecdotal reports of increased LSD use among b...

New research provides evidence that LSD alters the effects of brain stimulation and produces different and potentially larger changes in brain activity. The preliminary findings suggest that psychedelic drugs and brain stimulation may have a synergistic effect that could be used in innovative ways for treating various conditions. The proof-of-concept study has been published in the journal Psychedelic Medicine. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has shown promising potential as a therapeutic approach for various mental health conditions. This treatment combines the use of psychedelic substance...

A study published in Neuropsychopharmacology provides new insight into how the psychedelic drug LSD influences the way different brain regions communicate. The findings suggest that LSD disrupts the brain’s gatekeeping process, leading to increased information flow and altered perception. Psychedelics have long been known to induce profound changes in perception, cognition, and consciousness. LSD provides a unique opportunity to study the brain and its functions. By investigating its effects, researchers can gain valuable insights into the neural processes that underlie perception, consciousne...

The psychedelic drug lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) make people learn faster when receiving feedback and enhances exploratory behavior, according to new research published in Psychological Medicine. The findings could help shed light on the underlying cognitive mechanisms behind the potential therapeutic effects of LSD. LSD-assisted psychotherapy has shown promise in the treatment of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, although it is still illegal in most countries. The drug, when used in a controlled setting under the guidance of a trained therapist, ...

People who use psychedelic substances in an attempt to self-treat their mental health tend to report mild-to-moderate positive outcomes, according to new research published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology. But there were more negative effects reported by these individuals than in clinical settings where professionals are involved in the treatment. There is growing evidence that psychedelic drugs may have potential in the treatment of mental health conditions, particularly when they are administered in controlled settings and combined with psychotherapy. But many people are using psychedel...

A single, low dose of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) can increase reward-related brain activity, according to new research published in Neuropsychopharmacology. The study indicates that the psychedelic drug alters neuropsychological processes that tend to be blunted in patients with depression. The findings could have important implications for understanding the relationship between microdosing and mental health. Microdosing is becoming increasingly popular as a means of improving productivity, creativity, or overall psychological wellbeing. The practice involves taking very small doses of L...

LSD appears to induce both improvements and impairments to cognitive functioning that can be observed on the day after consumption, according to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in European Neuropsychopharmacology. The findings shed new light on the prolonged cognitive effects of the classic psychedelic substance. “Psychedelics principally impair cognitive functioning during their acute effects. Nevertheless, growing evidence indicates that these substances might have beneficial effects on cognition under certain circumstances,” said study author Isabel Wießner, a...

In the 1960s, research surfaced linking psychedelic use to an increased risk of cancer. But a new study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found no such link. The researchers studied recent data from a large national survey of Americans and found that psychedelic use (e.g., LSD, MDMA, DMT) was not associated with lifetime cancer development. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) was first associated with cancer risk when a 1967 study reported chromosomal damage in human white blood cells after exposure. A series of subsequent studies were released suggesting that LSD may have carcinogen...
