Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms) for Cancer-Related Distress

Psilocybin and other psychedelics have been shown to have powerfully positive effects for a variety of issues, including psychological stressors experienced by people living with cancer. While not yet tested with those with brain cancer, these interventions are now being studied for their healing powers in clinical trials across the country, including at UCSF. Hear from David Bullard, PhD, on the healing potential of psilocybin, experiences reported, and current legal status. You will also hear from a brain tumor patient about his direct experience with psilocybin.

The UCSF Sheri Sobrato Brisson Brain Cancer Survivorship Program presents this video as part of an ongoing Living Well Webinar series for brain tumor survivors. To learn more about UCSF's support programs for brain tumor patients and their families, visit https://braintumorcenter.ucsf.edu
