According to the team, additional study could strengthen their conclusions. “Overall,” the researchers say in their analysis, “the present findings, which show that both psychedelic and non-drug-occasioned experiences can produce positive and enduring changes in attitudes about death, suggest the importance of future prospective experimental and clinical observational studies to better understand mechanisms of such changes as well as their potential clinical utility.
