Side Effects of Psychedelics | Are Psychedelics Physically Dangerous?

-Transcript- Although psychedelics aren’t considered addictive and don’t appear to cause organ damage or neurotoxicity, there are some short-term side effects including: Dizziness Blurred vision Weakness Tremors Increased blood pressure Using pooled raw data from eight double-blind placebo-controlled experimental studies conducted between 1999 and 2008, including 110 healthy subjects who had received between one and four oral doses of psilocybin (45–315 μg/kg body weight), researchers found that psilocybin dose-dependently induced profound changes in mood, perception, thought, and self-experience, but most subjects described the experience as pleasurable, enriching, and nonthreatening. Acute adverse reactions were characterized by strong dysphoria and/or anxiety or panic but occurred only at the two highest doses of psilocybin in a relatively small number of subjects. All acute adverse drug reactions were successfully managed through interpersonal support and did not require psychopharmacological intervention. Follow-up questionnaires indicated no subsequent drug abuse, persisting perception disorders, prolonged psychosis, or other long-term impairment of functioning in any of the subjects. The results indicate that the administration of modest psilocybin doses to healthy, high-functioning, and well-prepared subjects in the context of a carefully monitored research environment carries an acceptable level of risk. -- Discuss This Issue Live -- If you like to discuss issues like this and many others like it with members of your community, check out www.realtalkphilosophy.org to find a Local Chapter near you. -- Start a Local Chapter -- And if there isn't a Local Chapter yet in your area, let us know and we'll help you start your own.
