Study Population Design Substance and dose N Short-term results Long-term follow-up
Bogenschutz et al. (49) Adult subjects with active alcohol dependence UOLS Psilocybin (0.3 mg/kg and 0.4 mg/kg), two doses, 4 weeks apart 9 Quality of ACUTE psychedelic experience (measured by HRS, MEQ and ASC) was a significant predictor of change in drinking behavior at weeks 5–8 6 months: Changes sustained for majority
Rothberg et al. (23) Adult subjects with active alcohol dependence RCT Ketamine (0.71 mg/kg over 52 min), single dose 40 Significant negative correlation between HMS score and number of heavy drinking days. Positive affect subscale significantly correlated with abstinence and daily drinking level N/A
Garcia-Romeu et al. (34)* Healthy adult smokers with multiple prior unsuccessful quit attempts, and with a desire to quit smoking UOLS Psilocybin (20 mg/70 kg and 30 mg/70 kg), two doses, 2 weeks apart 15 N/A 6 months: Higher scoring on SOCQ, personal meaning, spiritual significance, and impact on wellbeing was a significant predictor of abstinence [quality of life]
Johnson et al. (50)* [As above] UOLS [As above] 15 N/A 12 months: Significant correlation observed between quality of psychedelic session (MEQ; personal meaning) and abstinence
Dakwar et al. (24) Medically healthy adult subjects with cocaine dependence, disinterested in treatment or abstinence RCT Ketamine (0.71 mg/kg over 50 min), sub-anesthetic infusions 18 HMS score was a significant mediator of anti-addictive qualities
