The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

We are quantifying the effects one week post 25 mg psilocybin dose, specifically measuring: + relative telomerase activity and telomere length: a recent study showed psilocybin extended telomere length in human fibroblasts in cell culture. While telomere length increases take 4-6 weeks to become detectable, we are testing for an immediate increase in telomerase activity (the enzyme that regenerates telomeres) in white blood cells.
