Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Research Project: Studies of Mystical Experience and Meditation in Healthy Volunteers, and Palliative Effects in Cancer Patients
Roland R. Griffiths, PhD
Abstract: This presentation will review recent and ongoing psilocybin research at Johns Hopkins. Two recent studies showed that under carefully controlled conditions psilocybin can occasion profound personally and spiritually meaningful mystical-type experiences in healthy participants. Sixty-five percent of participants met criteria for having had a "complete" mystical experience. These effects were an increasing function of dose (5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/70 kg). Analysis showed that mystical-type experiences mediate sustained positive changes in attitudes, moods, personality, and behavior. One third of volunteers indicated they had a strong or extreme experience of fear sometime during the session. An ongoing study in novice meditators is exploring whether psilocybin-occasioned experiences can enhance the positive persisting effects of meditation and other spiritual practices. A therapeutic study is currently investigating psilocybin-facilitated treatment of anxiety and depression in cancer patients.
Roland R. Griffiths, PhD, is Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His principal research focus in both clinical and preclinical laboratories has been on the behavioral and subjective effects of mood-altering drugs. His research has been largely supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and he is author of over 300 journal articles and book chapters. He has been a consultant to the NIH, and to numerous pharmaceutical companies in the development of new psychotropic drugs. He is also currently a member of the Expert Advisory Panel on Drug Dependence for the World Health Organization. He has conducted extensive research with sedative-hypnotics and caffeine. About 12 years ago, he initiated a research program with the classic hallucinogen psilocybin, including studies of psilocybin occasioned mystical-type experience in healthy volunteers and cancer patients, and a pilot study of psilocybin-facilitated smoking cessation.

At Psychedelic Science 2013, over 100 of the world's leading researchers and more than 1,900 international attendees gathered to share recent findings on the benefits and risks of LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, ibogaine, 2C-B, ketamine, DMT, marijuana, and more, over three days of conference presentations, and two days of pre- and post-conference workshops.
Listening to this with 1,200$ Emit K speakers and it still sounds like crap. Dont think hes close enough to the mic : /
Please fix the sound so I can play this video for my dying mother.
I would love to try psilocybin. I have had an underlying depression and anxiety since childhood and have had many episodes for clinical depression on top of it. I take medication but still depressed after many attempts of different antidepressants. I am almost 55 and can't retire because I wouldn't have enough to live on but struggle to work. I want to be free of this and enjoy life while I am here. I live on the east coast of Canada and they only have psilocybin for terminally ill people. I need help and don't want to be on meds all my life that leave me with no sense of meaning or lack of energy and joy. Please please help. Thank you
Hello Georgina, please google “Psilotherapy” or “Shroom Bros”, you may be able to order some medicine from one of these sites, as they are legal within Canadian borders. You can feel free to ask any further questions to me here if you need 💜 Best of luck and make sure to do all the proper research before diving in! (P.S. antidepressants and antipsychotics mess with the receptors in your brain that psilocybin needs to react with- meaning if you are on meds, they will render the shrooms useless to your body)
@@benstevens1575 they are illegal here unless someone has a terminal illness and they have to appeal to health Canada by filling out form 56 in order to get permission to possess it. It's so foolish. It's obvious that it helps people but then the government is in with big pharma. Someone also said that they went off antidepressants and that it takes a few days for it to get out of the body so I am curious about that.
@@georginarandolphgirl66 I know numerous people from various locations across Canada who have had success ordering from these sites. You can also check this website -> www.reddit.com/r/CanadianCubensisMOMs/
@@georginarandolphgirl66 Weaning off of antidepressants can be very hard on the body if done incorrectly. Withdrawals are common, especially at higher doses. Make sure to consult your doctor (be firm that you would like to stop taking the medication- even if only for a few months to see how you feel without them) about it, as they will know the safest method for your specific medication, and may even be able to prescribe you pills with smaller doses to help this process along
John Hopkins is on the cutting edge of technology!
Listen in ahhhh, if you can come close to understanding
The sound has a phase reverse problem. Very easily fixed in an audio editor. In the meantime if you wish to watch then use headphones as this corrects the problem.
Can it be done with audacity?
Yes
Thanks for the tip! Worked with headphones
Not surprised that after almost six years this video has only 135 likes. Fix the sound, please!
Yeah my desktop speakers aren't putting through the sound either :(
My Sennheiser headphones do though
12:59
AUDIO, please!!
What is up with the sound?.....it gives me a bad headache. I am very interested in the subject, but can't take it.
The audio works on my laptop and tv, but not my phone :/
Some of the slides are missing. Is there a reason for that?
Would be nice to see someone who is literally any ethnicity other than caucasian being included in the research team. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be optimal to seek out researchers who have knowledge of nonWestern cultures and traditions, to bring more perspective than a group of white Americans
The clinical work that's being done in America happens to have been done largely by White Americans. There's a lot of diversity in their teams, and a lot of broader perspectives within their research, as well as what's presented by other researchers at these conferences.
Traditional cultures, in a sense, have nothing to prove, they've been experts in some plant medicines use for a long time, what's novel and fascinating for western culture is there's now scientific scrutiny and attention on modalities that can help a lot of people left behind by our modern mental health model. Keep reading, and keep thinking, you're going to be the change we need to see in the world.
@@johnpienta4200 I'm confused by your use of the phrase "happens to have been done largely by white Americans" followed by "there's a lot of diversity in their teams".... I'm not talking about secret recordings of traditional ceremonies here, I just mean it would be nice to see a nonwhite person living in the West speak on these topics. You know, for example, a Black person living in Toronto who has traditional knowledge on the subject from their family/culture, and/or a degree in the relevant scientific field. I know these kinds of people exist. I just wish it was easier to find them.
The way white (or colonized) people talk about psychedelics just seems so strange to me, trying to create standardized questionnaires to ask each individual what it was like to meet God and watch their own conception. Feels like it might be the wrong approach to take in order to fully understand the medicine. The little information I've found from nonWestern traditions involving entheogens gives me the impression that unimaginable wealths of knowledge have been shrugged off by white anthropologists who simply see shamanism as "insanity" not worth recording or researching
@@benstevens1575 check out the center for conspicuousness medicine for example. Again also other people at these conferences. In the end colonization and ethnicity can only play so much a role in any of this. It makes no sense to talk about LSD, MDMA, MDA, any of the 2C family etc in the context of colonization as they're all discovered or invented in the last century.
In the end there's far more interesting perspectives than those limited to race, ethnicity, and culture. Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely negative impacts of Colonialism. But to say that If we don't have some shaman available we can learn nothing or these are not valuable is a bit ridiculous.
