A study being conducted at Johns Hopkins University is looking at the effects of psilocybin in cancer patients. They are currently looking for participants.
From the study's description: "Psilocybin is a naturally occurring substance found in some mushrooms that some cultures have used for centuries in religious practices. ... This study is being done to find out if psilocybin can also produce personally and spiritually meaningful experiences in cancer patients. This could be important because spirituality has been associated with increased psychological coping and decreased depression in serious illness."
