Using Psychedelics to Reduce Drinking

In this video, I outline how psilocybin can be used to treat alcohol use disorder (aka alcoholism), as identified through a phase 2 clinical trial. This data shows that when using psychotherapy complemented with the psychedelic, psilocybin (from magic mushrooms), there is a significant decrease in the number of drinking days compared to a placebo control that people experience.

This video summarises the paper: Percentage of Heavy Drinking Days Following Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy vs Placebo in the Treatment of Adult Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder. A Randomized Clinical Trial.
