It’s an effective medicine for mental and physical health. It increased aged mice lifespan like 30%. Those dissing it are just ignorant of the facts.

Recent preclinical studies published in npj Aging (2025) provide experimental evidence that psilocybin extends lifespan and delays aging markers in mice and human cells.
Cellular Impact: Treatment with psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin) extended the lifespan of human skin and lung cells by up to 57%, while reducing senescence markers and preserving telomere length.
Mouse Survival: In aged mice (equivalent to 60–65 human years), psilocybin treatment increased survival rates from 50% to 80% and improved physical health markers, such as fur quality and reduced graying.
Mechanisms: The anti-aging effects are attributed to reduced oxidative stress, enhanced DNA repair responses, increased SIRT1 expression, and protection against telomere shortening.
That's fascinating! Thanks for providing that info!
My basic attitude towards "consciousness-expanding" or hallucinogenic drugs is one of skepticism and extreme caution. But I hope that researchers continue studying Psilocybin. It sounds promising!
