II~LElt uncl E. ,J. )ltXER ,;{Recci!·ed Decemba 10,1960) Recently it has been ~hown (HOF:O.L\~ ef al., Hl;jSa.; DEL\.Y et al., 1958; IsBELL, r~50) that 0-Phosphoryl-4:-hydrox~·-::\-dimethyl tryptamine (hereafter referred to as psilocybin), =~J. compound isolated (Honus et al., 1958b) from certain species of mushrooms that are used ceremonially by )Iexicnn Indians (\\.~so~ and \\. lSSO~, Hl.3i), has psyc-hototnimetic properties similar to those of the diethylamide of lysergic add (LSD-::!5). The close resemblance of the patterns of symptoms induced by LSD a.nd psilocybin suggested that 'these dn1gs produce mental aberrations by some common action or by affecting different mechanisms sharing a common final pathway. Since the effects of LSD diminish rapidly when the drug is ginn daily (ISBELL et al., 19.36), it was felt that if the LSD and psilocybin syndromes haYe a common mechanism, this hy·po thesis could be further tested by determining if "cross tolerance" between the two drugs e::cisted. In other words, if the degree of the reaction induced by a given close of psilocybin was significantly less in a. person tolerant to LSD, cross tolerance would be said to exist; and, conversely, the reaction to a. ginn dose of LSD should be reduced in a. person tolerant to psilocybin. In the latter case it is implied that "direct" tolerance to • psilocybin can be de...-eloped. :\Icthods Experiments. Two experiments were performed at different times. Experiment II was carried out to determine if administration of a larger doso of ·psilocybin gi>en o>er a. longer period o£ time than in Experi ment I would create a. greater degree of tolerance· :md cross tolerance. A "cross-o>er" design using each patient as his own control was employed in both experiments and is. summarized in Table 1. Both experiments consisted of seven periods: (l) first control, in which measurements were obtained after the test closes of psilocybin and LSD, (:!) first chronic administration, in which patients received either psilocybin or LSD once daily in doses increasing to the test leYcl over <1. period of G--12 days, (3) first test of tolerance and cross tolerance, in which pntit'nts were "cbnllcnged" with the dmg they had bet'll taking ?-·· .. . \ The image is a graphic featuring a stylized vault door on the left and text on the right.

The syrup, which ·was used to mask the bitter taste of the psilocybin, scr...-ed as the placebo. In the first and second control periods the patients receh-ed in randomized order 1.5 mcg.kg of LSD, placebo, and 150 mcgjkg (E:s:pcriment I) or 210 mcgfkg of psilocybin (Experiment II) b<'fore chronic administration of the drugs was begun. Detailed observations· were made on these test days. These. control experiments were conducted at inter;als of at least five <:lays in order that any tolerance conferred by the first cln1g would be lost. During the first n.nd second periods of chronic administration the patients in Experiment I received 0.:25 mcgikg of LSD or :23 meg/kg of psilocybin on the first day. These doses were increased 0.:25 m<'g}kg (LSD) or 25 mcgjkg (p..-.ilocybiu) daily until the patients were receiving 1.5 mt'gjkg of LSD or 150 mcgfl~g of The document page contains only printed text without any images, stamps, handwritten annotations, or forms.

There are no visual elements to convey information about experimental procedures, equipment, or facilities beyond what is described in the text. n.nd second periods of chronic administration the patients in Experiment I received 0.:25 mcgikg of LSD or :23 meg/kg of psilocybin on the first day. These doses were increased 0.:25 m<'g}kg (LSD) or 25 mcgjkg (p..-.ilocybiu) daily until the patients were receiving 1.5 mt'gjkg of LSD or 150 mcgfl~g of psilocybin on the sixth day. These doses were maintained until the tests of tolt.•r:mce and <'ross· tolerance were perfonned. In Experiment II the patients received 0.15 meg/kg of LSD or :21 meg/kg of psilocybin on the first day of chronic administra tion, increasing by 0.15 meg/kg of LSD or :21 m.cg;kg of psilocybin daily until the patients were receiving 1.5 m<'gfl.:g of LSD Ol' :210 meg/kg of psilocybin on the tenth day. These dos~-s were maintained through the twelfth day. The order in which the pati<>nts received the dntgs in the first and second periods of chronic administr:.1tion was randomized in both Experiments I and II. During these periods of t'hronic ,\Clmin.istra tion, detailed obscn·ntions were not made.

Since the test dose of psilocybin (150 meg/kg) had a. lesser degree of effect than the test dose of LSD (1.5 mcgjkg), a preliminary assay was carried out prior to Esperiment II. The dose-response curres obtained by !snELL (1959) were extended and 210 mcgikg of psilocybin were estimated to be equnl to 1.5 mcg,kg of LSD. .Accordingly, the abo\e doses of LSD and psilocybin were ad minis~red on two occasions at interr~ls of sen•n du.ys in random order to 10 subjects. Statistical analyses (see bclo"t for method) re,ealed no significant differences in any of the compari~ons made (Table 5, -~ssa.y ~. Study). Subjcets. The subjects who volunteered for both experiments were former opiate addicts who were ser\·ing sentences fOl· violation of the United States narcotic la'vs. Their ages ,-aried between !!5 to 35 years, all were physically healthy males, and none presented any eYidence of the major psychoses. .-ill had psychiatric diagnoses of character or ·personality disorders, and nll had rcceiYcd I ..

The: change;;: in rectal temperntme, pulse and respir~torj· rates, pupillary size, blood pressure, and threshold for elicitation of the knee jet•k aft('r administration of placebo and drugs were calculated by subtracting the an•ruge of the two prt>.clrug obset'\-a- / tions from the \"alues obtained at nwious hours. The areas under the time-action cun·es for en.ch particuh1r mensurcment composed of thc~e figures were calculated by the method of \Y:cs-n:R. and FL.-\.TXKER (1050), thus conYerting all the data. on a particular subject, n particular dntg. a particular measurt>ment, and a particuhtr dn.y to one figure termed "degree-hours" (temperat1.1re), "rate-honrs" (pulse rate), etc. The total number of posith·e responses on the qucstionnairc were counted o\·er t.he entire period, eliminating answers which were also scored posith·ely before the drug had been gi,en. )Ican:s and standard errors of the means were calculn.tcd according to standard statistical techniques. The difference in the Yarious measurements aftcr placebo, 1.5 meg, kg of LSD, and 150 or 210 meg kg of psilocybin (each indh·idual dn1g .against itself) in tho first and second controls were evaluated by a. f-test fo~ paired obscn·ations (Enw"um:5, 1!)46). In ExpN·iment I the only statistically significant difference found bctwcen t.he two sets of controls was ~ decrease in the pyretogenic effect of psilocybin (Table 2). In Experiment II, significant decreases in tlie number of positiYc responses on the qtt<.'stionMirc occurred in the second control (Table 3) after both LSD and psilocybin. Because of these difft>renccs in the two <:ontrols, the changes in rcspou:;o to the test llOs<'s of psilocybin and LSD after chronic administration of eithcr dnt.!! were evaluatC'd by comparing the effects of LSD and psilocybin nftN the fir~t and S{'cond periods of (Table 3) after both LSD and psilocybin.

As explained above, the diflcrcnccs in the response after chronic administrn.tion of both LSD and psilocybin were calculated by compttring the responses after first and second chronic allministrations of LSD and(or psilocybin with their rcspcctiYc fii·st and second control:;. Four different comparisons were made: ( l) response to LSD after <'hronic administ.rntion of LSD ("direct" tolerance to LSD), (2) response to psilocybin after chronic administration of LSD ("cros3" tolerance to psilocybin), (3) response to psilocybin after rhronic administration of .) .. 153 ·Table 4.

There are some small dark smudges and speckles across the page, but these do not obscure any content. The only visual element of note is the number "155" printed in the top right corner, likely a page number. The majority of the page is filled with dense, typed text, discussing the results of experiments, and there are no visible official stamps or forms.
