What is the biggest benefit of psilocybin if you could only name one thing?
The greatest benefit of psilocybin is the induction of a state of contentment. This contentment may stem from the increased stimulation of serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptors. When psilocybin is converted into psilocin, a substance similar to serotonin, this can lead to an improved neurotransmitter balance. The altered neurochemistry can induce contentment.
The state of satisfaction can, in turn, be a catalyst for the reduction of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and addictions. A large part of the success of psilocybin therefore depends on the satisfaction it can induce, but also on the neurochemical state of satisfaction it can cause.
