Wade Trammell, a former firefighter in Mountain View, California, witnessed plenty of traumatizing incidents while on the job, but it wasn’t until seven years after he retired that he felt symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Last July, he attended a retreat in Mexico, at which he took psilocybin mushrooms and another psychedelic drug. He says it shifted his attitude and that he has felt better ever since.

Wade Trammell recalls the time he and his fellow firefighters responded to a highway crash in which a beer truck rammed into a pole, propelling the truck’s engine through the cab and into the driver’s abdomen.
“The guy was up there screaming and squirming. Then the cab caught on fire,” Trammell says. “I couldn’t move him. He burned to death right there in my arms.”
