Study: Psilocybin Shows Potential Promise in Treating Cocaine Addiction

Narrative A

Psilocybin just cracked open a door that's been locked for 40 years — no drug has ever worked for cocaine use disorder until now. A UAB clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open showed psilocybin recipients had 29% more cocaine-abstinent days, with 30% achieving complete abstinence compared to zero in the placebo group. This is a durable, confirmed result across a deliberately diverse, low-income population that's been ignored by research for too long.
