Meeting Jesus on psychedelics? ✝️🍄🤯

NEW study: what happened when researchers gave psilocybin to (mostly) poor Black Christians in the South struggling with cocaine addiction?

Many described profound encounters with Jesus — as psychedelics tend to provide mystical experiences, sometimes amplifying pre-existing religious beliefs.

The study’s outcomes were incredible:

Participants had biologically confirmed abstinence rates approaching 100% at 6 months — an astonishing result.

@tao_lin Are you willing to share?

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@NightSkyToday Just one of the many benefits that psilocybin has!

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@0xQuasark They never should have been put into Schedule 1!!!

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@lttl4ngel Yes.....DMT 🤣

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@AbitcrunchyDana And if psychedelics were never put into schedule one, we wouldn't have nearly as many problems!

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@Iam_randy07 Yes, it is! Along with pretty much any psychedelic...

@omgsidewalks Shrooms!

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@CHiLLR0B MDMA every time

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@lapislagoons Nicotine - 8 million deaths per year
Psychedelics - 0 deaths per year

Can you guess which one is illegal?

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@JoshJPhilipp Yet psychedelics are still schedule one drugs that "have no medical purpose."

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

Johns Hopkins ran a trial comparing psilocybin-assisted therapy directly to nicotine patches for smoking cessation.

At six months, 40.5 percent of the psilocybin group had quit. Only 10 percent of the nicotine patch group had quit.

That's more than six times the odds of long-term abstinence.

And the treatment was a single intervention, not months of daily use.

@Stormi_luv Psychedelics!

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@William4twenty One is legal, and one is not. Can you tell which one?

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

Oregon's psilocybin service centers have served roughly 16,000 clients since launching in 2023.

Colorado now has 34 licensed healing centers up and running.

New Mexico is prepping a program for 2027.

This is not a fringe experiment anymore.

This is a quietly expanding reality, and almost nobody is covering it as such.

Until us!

@elizai69 1970 destroyed the countries mental health when they made psychedelics illegal and schedule 1...

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

Psilocybin was isolated from mushrooms by a Swiss chemist named Albert Hofmann in the late 1950s.

Sandoz briefly sold it under the brand name Indocybin for psychiatric use.

Then the cultural backlash to the 1960s swept everything into Schedule I in 1970.

We just happened to get the backlash version of the history rather than the medical one.

We have spent 55 years living in that gap.

@CloutedMind If we do this, I will be the first company that will offer top quality psychedelics delivered right to your doorstep!

[TheInsightfulTrip @InsightfulTrip]

@TRimamfyen That it is a gateway drug.....I am no closer to injecting fentanyl or heroin than I was before I smoked my first joint.

@livewithnoregrt Your life. If I offered you a billion dollars but told you that if you took it, you would die tomorrow, no one would take it... That means your life is more valuable.
