The use of psychedelic substances is associated with better physical health, according to preliminary research published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology. But the cause of this relationship remains unclear.


Thank you for sharing. I hope they perform that double-blind study to assess causation.

There could be a vast number of reasons for this correlation.

But there are certainly physical health benefits to psychedelics. Them being potent anti-inflammatories (via the TNF-alpha pathway) being one of them.
 
Psychedelic using population might be overall more health conscious to begin with, and/or psychedelics might have an overall effect of making people more health conscious. Plant/mushroom based psychedelics, that is. I am a health freak for one.

Also, the direct, diverse physical health benefits of ayahuasca and rue analogues are pretty well known.
