Experiences of psychedelic drug use among people with psychotic symptoms and disorders: Personal growth and mystical experiences

In a retrospective online survey of 100 people with psychotic symptoms or disorders, most reported that a memorable psychedelic experience produced personal growth, mystical-type experiences, increased spirituality and insight, and some symptomatic improvement. However, 11% reported overall negative experiences (including symptom exacerbation, dysphoria and terror) and a slightly larger portion reported mixed outcomes.

Attitudes of psychedelic users regarding cost of treatment and non-hallucinogenic alternatives

In a survey of 1,221 naturalistic psychedelic users, 76% judged altered states of consciousness to be very or extremely important for therapeutic effects, yet 61% said they would be willing to try a non-hallucinogenic analogue. Respondents considered about $70–80 per hour a reasonable fee for preparation, dosing and integration—substantially below current market projections for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Perceived attachment history predicts psychedelic experiences: A naturalistic study

In an international Jewish sample (N = 185) who reported memorable psychedelic use, perceived insecure early attachment was positively associated with stronger psychedelic phenomenology (mystical, challenging, emotional breakthrough, ego dissolution, sensed presence), whereas current adult attachment orientations were unrelated and psychedelic experiences generally did not attenuate the link between perceived insecure attachment history and present attachment insecurity.

Perceptions of psychedelic personality change, determinants of use, setting and drug moderation: Toward a holistic model

Analysing free-text reports from psychedelic users and survey data from users and non‑users, the study identified 52 distinct perceived personality‑change themes that aggregated into eight higher‑order factors and showed that openness, extraversion and neuroticism predict interest in and outcomes of psychedelic use. These results support a tentative holistic model in which baseline personality, drug type and setting interact to produce diverse, clinically relevant personality changes, and they point to directions for prospective research and psychedelic‑assisted therapies.

Association between mystical-type experiences under psychedelics and improvements in well-being or mental health - A comprehensive review of the evidence

This pre-registered comprehensive review of 44 studies found that mystical-type experiences occasioned by classic psychedelics are generally associated with medium-to-long-term improvements in some aspects of well‑being and mental health—particularly general well‑being, life satisfaction, attitudes and behaviour, and anxiety—with stronger evidence in healthy and cross‑sectional samples. The review also indicates that psychological insights and emotional breakthroughs may be as or more closely linked to positive outcomes and should be routinely measured in future research.
