Topic: psychedelics
Psychedelic compounds, such as psilocybin, are being studied as a potential treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). Psilocybin, a naturally occurring substance that can produce hallucinations and other changes in perception, has been shown to increase neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to change and adapt. This makes psilocybin a promising candidate for treating OUD, as it could help people change their behaviors associated with addiction.
