A recent study done with the substance psilocybin, the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms,” resulted in more positive personalities in the test subjects when tested over the course of a year. Postdoctoral students at John Hopkins University analyzed data from 52 individuals with an average age of 46. Personality tests were administered a few months after each session and dose of psilocybin. Each session was closely monitored by hospital staff.
