People are discussing psilocybin for longevity.
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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
+ exploring a psilocybin protocol for longevity
would be so wild if psilocybin were a longevity therapy
We are doing an experiment to see if psilocybin is potentially a longevity therapy.
So what we're doing today is I'm going to take 5 g of magic mushrooms. And so what we're exploring is there was some recent evidence showing that there was interesting effects in both mice and also human cells. And so we are casting this really wide net of can we catch anything that demonstrates some kind of rejuvenation or longevity effect.
