Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 5-HT1A receptor blockade on the acute subjective effects of psilocybin, as measured through subjective survey measures and acute electroencephalography (EEG). Further, the investigators will assess the effects of psilocybin on post-acute sleep and dreaming through the use of sleep EEG and sleep and dream diaries.

Interventions

DRUG

Pindolol

Pindolol is a 5-HT1A antagonist drug that will be used as a pharmacological probe for the mechanism of acute subjective effects in the altered state of consciousness induced by psilocybin.

DRUG

Placebo

Microcrystalline cellulose capsules, identical in appearance to the active treatment, containing no pharmacologically active ingredients, will be administered as an inert placebo comparator.

DRUG

Psilocybin

Psilocybin is a tryptamine psychedelic with 5-HT2A agonist activity. The psilocybin-induced altered state of consciousness is characterized by changes in sensory perception, cognition, and induction of mystical-type experiences. These subjective effects will be assessed in each dosing session.
