New Studies Fail To Find Associations Between Psychedelic Drugs And Mental Health Problems
Despite the continued widespread dogma and fears surrounding their use, studies have failed to find evidence that psychedelic drugs, such as LSD and magic mushrooms, cause harm to the brain or other organs. Ever since it was suggested that their use can trigger psychosis back in the '60s, ideas that they are harmful to mental health have been difficult to shake. Now, two new studies are once again challenging these assertions with a failure to find any links between their use and the development of mental health problems. In fact, one of them actually found an association between their use and reduced psychological distress.
