Classic Psychedelics in Addiction Treatment: The Case for Psilocybin in Tobacco Smoking Cessation

This book chapter (2022) reviews the use of psilocybin in the treatment of addiction with a specific focus on smoking (tobacco use disorder, TUD). After exploring the historical use of psychedelics to treat addiction, modern research on the topic is reviewed. The anti-addiction properties of psychedelics differ but are consistent with the notion that the persisting positive behaviour change prompted by psychedelic therapy is due to the amplification of psychotherapeutic processes.

Effects of Setting on Psychedelic Experiences, Therapies, and Outcomes: A Rapid Scoping Review of the Literature

This review (2022) explores the role and value of the setting in the psychedelic experience and the subsequent therapeutic outcomes. It was found that while the importance of setting is emphasized in the literature, there is yet to be any consistent and rigorous testing of setting and its complexities. There is yet to be a shared consensus on the effects setting has and the mechanism by which it affects outcomes as a result.

Additionally, results from animal studies have shown psychedelics positively impact learning and memory which could have implications for the treatment of AD.
