Long-lasting analgesic effect of the psychedelic drug changa: A case report
Journal of Psychedelic Studies February 12, 2019 Genís Ona, Sebastián Troncoso 13 citations
A case report describes a long-lasting analgesic effect after use of changa, a psychedelic drug containing N,N-dimethyltryptamine and β-carboline-rich seeds of Peganum harmala. The authors suggest both pharmacological and non-pharmacological factors may be involved, but due to changa's complex actions on multiple neurotransmitter systems, further research is needed to establish specific mechanisms. This provides preliminary evidence of an analgesic effect from changa.
