Barrier methods alone are not considered effective methods of contraception.

- Have any medical condition that would be contraindicated, including previously diagnosed conditions:
- seizure disorder or history of seizures;

- a history of unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease, heart failure, clinically significant ECG abnormality);
- uncontrolled hypertension, resting blood pressure greater than 140/90 mmHg;
- baseline prolongation of QTc interval greater than 450 msec in both males and females;
- a history of major central nervous system disease (history of cerebrovascular accident, masses, aneurysm);
- a history of uncontrolled obstructive airway disease or significant respiratory compromise;
- a history of uncontrolled thyroid disease;
- a history of uncontrolled insulin dependent diabetes that may preclude safe participation in the study;
- a history of narrow-angle glaucoma;
- gastrointestinal conditions which may affect psilocybin absorption (i.e. stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction);
- a history of active obstructive urological conditions (i.e. symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy, bladder-neck obstruction) that may preclude safe participation in the study.
- Have any mental health disorder that would be contraindicated, including previously diagnosed or suspected mania/hypomania or psychosis as determined by the Modified MINI 7.0.1
- Have a first- or second-degree relative with psychotic or bipolar disorder
- Have a personality disorder deemed to be high risk (antisocial, borderline, narcissistic) assessed via the SCID-5-PD.

- Are currently taking medications with known interactions with psilocybin (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics)
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or they are a PABP and not practicing an adequate form of birth control
- Any other finding(s) based on the screening process that the investigator determines makes the candidate unsuitable for the study
