That psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA have therapeutic value, is now a fact. Now researchers and scientists are finding new ways and methods to deliver these strong compounds to the patients.
Ordinarily, to take psilocybin you would have to ingest a magic mushroom. But a Hawaii-based startup, Ei.Ventures, is developing a new way to consistently deliver the psychoactive compound. The company has collaborated with Tioga Research to create psilocybin trans-dermal patches.
Benefits of Patch vs. Oral Administration
· Not everyone appreciates the taste of magic mushrooms. Some even feel nauseous from the flavor. A trans-dermal patch will circumvent this issue.
· With oral intake of psychedelics like magic mushroom, it is difficult to regulate the dosage. You may never know how much is enough. With trans-dermal delivery you can monitor and adjust the amount of dose required. This will also lead to fewer side effects.
In Conclusion
Psilocybin is effective in treating mood disorders like depression and anxiety. With newer innovations in the field, therapists will have better and more advanced tools to treat their patients. Transdermal patches are a promising method of delivering psilocybin to the patients with minimal risks. In the future, scientists will also be able to create patches of varying strengths and potency.
