Psychedelic Mind

The trillions of microorganisms in your digestive tract may determine the intensity and therapeutic outcome of a psychedelic experience. Gut bacteria can metabolize compounds like psilocybin into its active form or even degrade others like LSD, influencing the gut-brain axis. This variability helps explain why people have different outcomes, suggesting future therapy could be personalized by analyzing a patient's microbiome.
