Abstract
In a sample of 798 participants, taking a psychedelic with a romantic partner was associated with greater shared understanding and positive changes in relationships.
- Taking a psychedelic together was linked to improved physical intimacy, emotional closeness, and relationship satisfaction.
- Shared understanding between partners mediated the positive changes in relational well-being.
- Using a psychedelic alone was indirectly associated with the decision to end a romantic relationship.
- The study's cross-sectional design and low participation from couples limit the findings.
