Magic mushrooms could be effective treatment for cocaine addiction, study shows

Participants who got single dose of psilocybin were more likely to abstain from cocaine than those who got placebo

Results from a new clinical trial show that a single dose of psilocybin could be an effective treatment for cocaine addiction.

The study, published in Jama Network Open this month, showed that 19 participants who received a single dose of psilocybin were more likely to abstain from cocaine than 17 participants who received a placebo of diphenhydramine, a common antihistamine.
