Abstract

An online survey of 1,993 individuals who reported challenging experiences with psilocybin mushrooms found that 84% endorsed benefiting from the experience. Despite the acute difficulty, 76% rated the experience among the top five most personally meaningful, suggesting that challenging psychedelic experiences can lead to positive long-term outcomes.
