An Attempt to Obtain Data on Longevity Effects of Human Psilocybin Use (opens in new tab)

There are apparently a great many people who at least intermittently use psilocybin. Interestingly, regular dosing with psilocybin has been shown to modestly extend life in mice, but it is likely that only a subset of human users approach the frequency of dosing used in the mouse studies. Finding those humans is ever the challenge, particularly if one wants to study long-term effects on aging. Here, a researcher takes an initial stab at comparing the longevity of psilocybin users with non-use...
