Older People Who Use Psychedelics Show Fascinating Brain Functions

Drugs with psychedelic effects, like psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, and cannabis, may help protect the brain from some aspects of aging.

Compared to those who did not use psychedelics, those who did scored higher on tests conducted over the phone which assessed inductive reasoning, verbal fluency, working memory, processing speed, attention switching, and inhibitory control. The findings are only observational so can't determine cause and effect, and rely on subjective accounts with uncontrolled drug doses. What's more, the study does not distinguish different types of psychedelics being taken.
