- 1Age may explain conflicting psychedelic study results▼Could age help explain why psychedelic studies reach different conclusions?
Researchers suggest participants' age could account for why psychedelic studies produce differing conclusions about safety and effectiveness. Older adults may respond differently to substances like psilocybin or MDMA, meaning trials skewed toward younger or older volunteers could reach inconsistent findings. The claim highlights a gap in how psychedelic research is designed and interpreted.
