Report from Global Wellness Institue:

​

There’s been a huge shift in the way people think about mental wellness. Even before the coronavirus pandemic, 15 percent of the world’s population suffered from mental illness and substance abuse disorders, dementia was on the rise and happiness was declining. In fact, the economic and social burden of mental illness and mental unwellness is predicted to reach US$16.1tn (€13.5tn, £12.2tn) globally by 2030 according to the World Economic Forum.

Psilocybin Mushrooms at the forefront

For thousands of years, magic mushrooms were used in cultures worldwide: from the Ancient Greeks (yes, Plato and Socrates) to the Aztecs. And, in the 1960s, leading medical institutions like Harvard undertook studies indicating magic mushrooms’ serious promise for things like depression and addiction. All of which came to a crashing, counterculture-fearing halt when many countries, like France (1966), the US (1970), and the UK (2005), made them (and other psychedelics) highly illegal drugs, putting the kibosh on this important research for decades.

Well, now the research is again on fire, with dozens of studies coming out of top universities like Imperial College-London, NYU, UCLA, the University of Zurich, and Johns Hopkins (with its dedicated Psilocybin Research institute) on magic mushrooms’ too-powerful-to-be-ignored impact on everything from nicotine and alcohol addiction, PTSD, headaches, OCD—and especially depression and anxiety…often with a single dose, and with the positive effects lasting months.

As Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., one of the top US psychopharmacologists and lead psilocybin investigators at Johns Hopkins, put it, “It’s a Rip Van Winkle effect—after three decades of no research, we’re rubbing the sleep from our eyes.” 

​

Because the rediscovery and creative uses of mushrooms—in mental wellness, as true superfoods, and in beauty products (and more)—will be a top wellness trend. “Brain resetting” magic mushrooms will start to emerge from underground: More people will microdose them as creativity and brain boosters (a Silicon Valley “start-up” practice now spreading around the world).

And, yes, magic mushroom retreats will keep popping up in places where legal (Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, or the Netherlands), where the “trip” gets combined with increasingly luxe wellness experiences. And we’ll see movement on the legalization front, making this magic mushroom moment reminiscent of the early days of the cannabis-as-wellness trend.
