'If I had a regret, it’s that I didn’t wake up as much as I have without a cancer diagnosis.'
One of the world's foremost psychedelics researchers is taking an inspiring approach to the knowledge of his impending death — by treating it as a beautiful, transcendental mystery.
In the Q&A, Griffiths — whose work on psychedelics has helped normalize their therapeutic use — actually laughed when his interviewer asked what his chances of survival are.Rather than being afraid of his looming demise, Griffiths said that he's instead felt that his "life has been more beautiful, more wonderful than ever."
Griffiths noted that, somewhat ironically, the first study he and his JHU team ever did was with cancer patients who were "depressed and anxious" about their diagnoses. After just one time doing psilocybin mushrooms, the researchers found that their subjects experienced "large and enduring decreases in depression and anxiety."
