Heffter Research Institute's board member Charles S. Grob was surprised when the producers of the Fox Television Network's "The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet" asked him to talk live about his psilocybin research with cancer patients. Grob sent them to Norbert Litzinger, volunteer Director of Development and husband of Pam Sakuda, a patient in the study who passed away a year and a half ago. The live interviews with Grob, Litzinger and another of Grob's subjects -- is heartening to watch.

    • I actually did not know that shrooms had medicinal usage. Here I've been trippin' all this time not even realizing that I have increased my well-being AND life satisfaction! I'll sleep easy tonight.

    • If there was one day where the whole world had a mass hallucination, everyone tripped at the same time... it would change the world forever.

    • In a follow-up to research showing that psilocybin, a substance contained in "sacred mushrooms," produces substantial spiritual effects, a Johns Hopkins team reports that those beneficial effects appear to last more than a year.

      Writing in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, the Johns Hopkins researchers note that most of the 36 volunteer subjects given psilocybin, under controlled conditions in a Hopkins study published in 2006, continued to say 14 months later that the experience increased their sense of well-being or life satisfaction.

      "Most of the volunteers looked back on their experience up to 14 months later and rated it as the most, or one of the five most, personally meaningful and spiritually significant of their lives," says lead investigator Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., a professor in the Johns Hopkins departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Neuroscience.

      I'm not quite sure what you mean by the mainstream being behind the times, by definition the mainstream cannot be at the forefront of culture, theory, whatever. Are you referring to recreational use, which has experienced various peaks and troughs, or the gradual acceptance of the scientific value of psychedelic research?

      The Heffter Research Institute's mission has begun to attract scientists and researchers of the highest caliber, but this story appearing on Fox in such an accepting and positive context is a massive step change.
