 Psilocybin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At higher doses, experiences tend to be less social and more entheogenic, often catalyzing intense spiritual experiences.

 Shroomery - Psilocybin awareness - General Magic Mushrooms Information
The hope for the experiment was to test if psilocybin experiences can change the prisoner's cycle of antisocial behavior and reduce their recidivism.
The action of psilocybin was used to help the prisoners recognize the impact of their past behavior.
Psychosis is correlated with over-stimulation of the dopamine pathways in the central nervous system, thus leading to the hypothesis that the dopamine system is not modulated through interactions of serotonin and dopamine in humans (Vollenweider 1998).

 MAPS - Listening for the Logos - a study of reports of audible voices at high doses of psilocybin
These results tend not to uphold the theory that psilocybin is somehow unique in its ability to catalyze or elicit voice phenomena, and yet a majority of the participants who reported hearing a voice(s) through psilocybin and other drugs or means indicated that they first heard a voice(s) with psilocybin.
Perhaps for those individuals, psilocybin acted as a catalyst that opened a door to the subtle experience of the voices, which then allowed them to experience the voices by other means.
If tryptamines, particularly psilocybin, are shown to have specific and somewhat unique abilities to stimulate auditory voice phenomena in human beings, their mere similarity to serotonin is not sufficient explanation.

 A New Behavior Change Program Using Psilocybin
The group is told about the possible experiences with psilocybin and encouraged, on the basis of their test results and the information on psilocybin, to plan and initiate their own individual personality change programs.
The group behavior which serves as the focus around which the learning takes place may be role-playing (Levit and Jennings, 1960) or psychodrama (Moreno, 1959); or it may be some set of stimuli brought in from the outside, such as a problem or a case-history (Slater, 1961).
After the session, a series of three to four discussion meetings is held, during which subjects work through their experiences, compare, analyze and try to integrate into everyday life what they have learned.

In his case, the psilocybin also killed the headaches, but it is probable that he would have achieved the same relief with less stress.
Since we are unlikely to see any clinical study of psilocybin and cluster headaches in the near future, our only source of data is from the reports of those who have tried it.
In theory it is still possible to obtain a research license allowing experimentation with these and other Schedule 1 compounds, but in practice the complexity and inertia of the governmental approval process is so overwhelming that very few researchers have the stamina to see it through to the end.

Despite the rather fantastic visionary experiences elicited by psilocybin, there is precious little data on this unusual synergistic aspect of Nature.
Indeed, since science itself is tacitly carried out through the lens of normal consciousness and attempts to explain Nature through the data thus acquired in normal consciousness, it is entirely feasible that a new lens be utilised through which to document Nature.
