Large national survey suggests that the use of psychedelics is not associated with lifetime cancer development
In the 1960s, research surfaced linking psychedelic use to an increased risk of cancer. But a new study published in...
LSD-assisted therapy induces rapid and lasting reductions in anxiety and depression symptoms, according to new research
LSD-assisted therapy could provide benefits to patients struggling with anxiety disorders, according to new research published in Biological Psychiatry. The...
LSD decreases binge-like drinking in a rodent model of alcoholism, but only temporarily
"This, together with other rodent work, points one towards thinking that psychedelic drugs on their own don’t have any inherent,...
Neuroscience research suggests LSD might enhance learning and memory by promoting brain plasticity
New research published in Experimental Neurology provides some initial evidence that the psychedelic substance known as LSD has nootropic properties....
LSD microdosing does not appear to improve mood or cognitive ability, according to new placebo-controlled study
A new randomized controlled study of LSD microdosing has failed to find evidence that the psychedelic practice results in improvements...
Neuroscientists gain a deeper understanding of how LSD affects molecular brain activity
The dopaminergic system appears to play an important but overlooked role in LSD's effects on consciousness, according to new research...
LSD and salvia divinorum use linked to an increased likelihood of depression and suicidal thinking

The psychedelic state induced by LSD appears to weaken the association between anatomical brain structure and functional connectivity, according to...
New study uncovers the distinct acute subjective effects of MDMA and LSD
MDMA induces only minimal and comparatively weak alterations of consciousness compared with LSD, according to the first controlled study to...
First controlled study of LSD microdosing finds few benefits — and some downsides
