“A 2025 study found that certain forms of circular breathwork can produce remarkably deep altered states of consciousness without administering a Psyc.hedel!c compound.

Researchers compared breathwork experiences with reference data from previous studies involving Psiløcyb!n. On the MEQ-30, active breathers reached scores statistically indistinguishable from those associated with a moderate 20 to 25 mg Psiløcyb!n reference dose across all four subscales.

The study involved 61 participants, with 43 completing active breathwork and 18 completing a passive breathing condition. Researchers also found that active breathwork produced significant changes in consciousness compared with placebo reference scores.

One of the most interesting findings involved CO₂ levels. Greater reductions in CO₂ were associated with deeper altered experiences, suggesting that changes in breathing physiology may play an important role in shaping consciousness.

The researchers also reported that the depth of the experience was connected with later improvements in wellbeing.

“The Oregon psilocybin program began awarding licenses in early 2023. It was established by a ballot initiative. The Oregon psilocybin program, is regulated by Oregon Psilocybin Services, a subdivision of the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division’s Center for Health Protection. Oregon Psilocybin Services began awarding licenses in early 2023. The Oregon psilocybin program does not require a licensed psychotherapist, but facilitators must complete a state certification program. Adults can receive the services outside of a medical model.

Oregon Psilocybin Services has created a [portal] (https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/preventionwellness/pages/psilocybin-access-psilocybin-services.aspx) for those looking for information about accessing psilocybin services.”

“Two years after the FDA declined to approve the first New Drug Application for MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, Resilient Pharmaceuticals has reportedly resubmitted the application for review.

The new submission builds on the two completed Phase 3 studies initiated and funded by MAPS and is moving forward without an additional Phase 3 trial. If accepted, it will begin a new FDA evaluation of the treatment’s safety and efficacy.

Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is not currently involved in Resilient’s drug development program, but the research behind this application remains part of a decades-long effort made possible by participants, therapists, researchers, donors, and advocates.”

“Psychedelics & Addiction Recovery
Online Documentary Screening + Live Q&A:

Saturday, August 8 | 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM (Pacific Time), 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern.

Can psychedelics help people overcome addiction?

To many, the idea sounds counterintuitive. Yet a growing body of research, and thousands of personal stories, is challenging long-held assumptions about addiction, trauma, and healing.

Join us for an online screening of the acclaimed documentary “Psychedelics & Addiction Recovery,” followed by a live Q&A with members of the film team and featured guests.

This thought provoking documentary explores how psychedelic medicines, when used responsibly in therapeutic and spiritual settings, have helped individuals struggling with addictions to alcohol, methamphetamine, prescription psychiatric medications, and other substances find lasting recovery.

The film features deeply personal stories alongside interviews with respected physicians, therapists, researchers, veterans, and recovery advocates, including:

• A Stanford cardiologist whose daughter's severe addiction took an unexpected turn after psychedelic experiences

• A combat veteran and former MMA champion who found relief from PTSD and addiction through psychedelic assisted healing.

• Robert Falconer, internationally respected Internal Family Systems (IFS) author and teacher, discussing how psychedelics can help people compassionately heal wounded inner parts carrying childhood trauma.

The documentary also explores one of the most surprising, and often overlooked, chapters in recovery history: the little known psychedelic origins that helped inspire the modern 12-Step movement.

Rather than presenting psychedelics as a miracle cure, the film offers a balanced exploration of both their promise and their limitations while examining why these medicines are becoming one of the most exciting frontiers in mental health and addiction treatment.”

Following the Film:

Stay for a live interactive Q&A where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions, hear behind the scenes stories from the filmmakers, and engage with featured speakers about the science, history, ethics, and future of psychedelic-assisted recovery.

Whether you're a clinician, therapist, researcher, recovery professional, person in recovery, family member, or simply curious about one of the most important developments in modern mental health, this event offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of this rapidly evolving field.

You'll Learn About:

• The emerging science behind psychedelic-assisted addiction treatment.

• The role trauma plays in addiction and recovery.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) and psychedelic healing.

• Real stories from individuals whose lives were transformed.

• Current challenges, ethical considerations, and future directions.

Presented by the Los Angeles Medicinal Psychedelic Society (LAMPS) in collaboration with Upsurgent.

Cost of admission: $11.84
