psilocybin

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, psilocybin has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Proven Podcast (Feb 2026). Paul Hutchson recommended it: He advocates for the proper, facilitated use of psychedelics like psilocybin for trauma healing (not recreational use).

Psilocybin, also known as 4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-PO-DMT), is a naturally occurring tryptamine alkaloid and investigational drug found in more than 200 species of mushrooms, with hallucinogenic and serotonergic effects. Effects include euphoria, changes in perception, a distorted sense of time, and perceived spiritual experiences. It can also cause adverse reactions such as nausea and panic attacks.
