Preliminary clinical research shows that it can help with depression and drug addiction, among other ailments.

Anecdotal benefits I've experienced (as a typically healthy person):

- Improved mood for a least a couple months (happier, more awake/aware, calmer, less fatigue, more motivated)

- Reduced feelings of stress and anxiety

- Increased empathy for others

- Increased self-awareness, in particular of bad habits. This in turn helps me improve my diet as well as keep good physical/mental exercise habits.

- Increased creativity and openness to new ideas.
