Psilocybin has been used for centuries by native tribes as well as in religious ceremonies. In recent decades, its therapeutic use and benefits in the medical setting have been discovered. One new study examines its benefits for treating alcohol use disorder. The researchers analyzed the impact of alcohol addiction on the frontal cortex of rat models with alcoholism, after which they examined how psilocybin worked on a molecular level. Psilocybin is one of several psychedelic drugs that are currently being studied today for their promising benefits on behavioral disorders, one of which is addiction.
