@erictopol Show of hands: Who here hasn't ever wished for "improved fur quality"?

🙋️🙋️🙋️

But wait, there's more!

「Summary: Psilocybin, the active compound derived from psychedelic mushrooms, significantly delayed cellular aging and extended lifespan in a preclinical study. Researchers observed a 50% increase in the lifespan of human skin and lung cells and a 30% increase in survival in aged mice treated with psilocybin.

The compound appeared to reduce oxidative stress, preserve telomeres, and improve DNA repair, all key to slowing aging. These findings suggest psilocybin may one day enhance not just lifespan but also quality of life in aging populations.」

Good news:
🔹TBD

Dire news:
🔻️All septuagenarian and older autocrats and despots will hang onto power for years if not decades longer.
🔻️This natural mushroom compound will be banned and Big Pharma will create artificial analogues that the general public can never afford.
🔻️See above: War on Magic Mushrooms...
🔻️Countless mice will have longer life with more luscious coat but still in the same miserable cage...

Research is investigating the medicinal applications of #psilocybin, with studies showing how #psychedelics can promote neuronal plasticity.

This ‘fundamental’ study into the effects of #psilocin on human neurons: https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/104006?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

If medicine compounds like #mdma #ketamine #lsd #psilocybin #psilocin #dmt where rescheduled, these off-patent compounds could be manufactured at scale and FDA-approval of LYKOS/MAPS New Drug Application for a patented form of #mdma wouldn't matter as much. Research outside of LYKOS supports the use of these medicine compounds for a number of mental health indications especially when supported by licensed mental health providers in psychotherapy. #legalizepsychedelicmedicines #fda #psychedelics

Psilacetin, also known as O-acetylpsilocin or 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-AcO-DMT), is an unscheduled compound that has long been suggested as an alternative psilocin prodrug, though direct in vivosupport for this hypothesis has thus far been lacking. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1303365/full #4-acO-DMT #4aco #psilocin #psychedelic #psychedelicresearch
