Can Psychedelics Treat Alcoholism? New Psilocybin & DMT Studies Say YES

In today’s episode, we dive into two pre-clinical studies testing psychedelics’ effectiveness in treating alcohol-related illnesses.

In the first, researchers tested psilocybin (magic mushrooms) on mice who got addicted to alcohol. They found that the psilocybin helped repair a part of their brain that alcohol abuse damaged. This helped the mice make less neurotic decisions, and helped them abstain from alcohol.

This is promising, and if it can be repeated in humans, it would be a huge step forward in treating alcoholism.

The second study looked at the Ayahuasca brew, which has as its main psychoactive ingredient DMT. In this study, the researchers found that the mice who took the ayahuasca were less likely to seek out more alcohol.

Again, if this can be replicated in humans, it would show the powerful benefits of psychedelic medicines to treat alcoholism.

Psychedelics and mental health have long been a topic of research, and we are finally getting data that psychedelics like psilocybin and DMT may be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, such as alcoholism.

In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Investor, I discuss two major stories. First, is the news that Field Trip Health (Nasdaq: FTRP, TSX: FTRP) will be splitting into two separate companies.
Next, Wesana Health (CSE: WESA, OTCQB: WSNAF) announced that they are considering selling all of their non-drug development assets, including their Psychedelic Therapy clinics.

Field Trip Health:
In a surprise move, Field Trip Health Ltd. announced on Thursday that they will be separating their company into two independent publicly traded entities.
Assuming the ratification of shareholders and regulatory approval, come July 2022, Field Trip Health will be no more. From its ashes will rise Reunion Neuroscience Inc, and Field Trip Health and Wellness Ltd.
Reunion will be the successor to Field Trip’s Discovery division, which was the part of the company which worked on next-generation psychedelics. This includes FT-104, a psilocybin-like compound that is a prodrug to 4-HO-DiPT, and the company’s FT-200 series of psychedelics, which they call third-generation.

Wesana:
On Thursday, Wesana Health made a major announcement. Following a planned strategic review of their assets, Wesana is considering options “including, but not limited to, a sale of all the assets under the care delivery division,” including all of their psychedelic therapy clinics.
The core reasoning, according to the press release, is that Wesana wants to focus its efforts entirely on its drug development division.
Prior to this announcement, Wesana was operating under a philosophy centered on “developing the novel therapies of tomorrow and delivering new care paradigms today.” If this strategic review does result in the sale of their clinics and other today-focused ventures, then Wesana will be decidedly much more focused on tomorrow.
