>> cooper: for most of >> cooper: for most of us, psychedelic drugs conjure up images of the 1960s-- hippies tripping out on l.s.d. or magic mushrooms. but, as we reported last fall, these powerful, mind-altering substances are now being studied seriously by scientists inside some of the country's foremost medical research centers.

they're being used to treat depression, anxiety and addiction. and early results are impressive, as are the experiences of the studies' volunteers, who go on a six- hour, sometimes terrifying, but often life-changing psychedelic journey deep into their own minds. >> carine mclaughlin: people ask me, "do you want to do it again?" i say, "hell, no, i don't want to go do that again." >> cooper: it was really that bad? >> mclaughlin: oh, it was awful. the entire time, other than the very end and the very beginning, i was crying. >> cooper: carine mclaughlin is talking about the hallucinogenic experience she had here at johns hopkins university, after being given a large dose of psilocybin, the psychedelic agent in magic mushrooms, as part of an ongoing clinical trial. >> roland griffiths: we tell people that their experiences may vary, from very positive, to transcendent and lovely, to literally hell realm experiences. >> cooper: hell realm? >> griffiths: as frightening an experience as you have ever had

in your life. >> cooper: that's scientist roland griffiths. for nearly two decades now, he and his colleague matthew johnson have been giving what they call "heroic doses" of psilocybin to more than 350 volunteers, many struggling with addiction, depression and anxiety. can you tell who is going to have a bad experience, who's going to have a transcendent experience? >> griffiths: our ability to predict that is almost none at all. >> cooper: really? >> matthew johnson: about a third will, at our-- at a high dose, say that they have something like that, what folks would call a bad trip. but most of those folks will actually say that that was key to the experience. >> cooper: carine mclaughlin was a smoker for 46 years, and said she tried everything to quit before being given psilocybin at holast yea psilocybin itself is non- addictive. do you remember what, like, specifically what you were seeing, or? >> mclaughlin: yes. the ceiling of this room were clouds, like, heavy rain clouds,

and gradually they were lowering. and i thought i was going to suffocate from the clouds. >> cooper: that was more than a year ago. she says she hasn't smoked since. the study she took part in is still ongoing, but in an earlier, small study of just 15 long-term smokers, 80% had quit six months after taking psilocybin. that's double the rate of any over-the-counter smoking cessation product. >> griffiths: they come to a profound shift of world view. and essentially, a shift in sense of self that i think-- >> cooper: they-- they see their life in a different way? >> griffiths: their world view changes and-- and they are less identified with that self- narrative. people might use the term "ego." and that creates this sense of freedom. >> cooper: and not just with smokers. >> jon kostakopoulos: beer usually, cocktails, usually, vodka sodas, tequila sodas, scotch and sodas. >> cooper: jon kostakopoulos was drinking a staggering 20 cocktails a night, and had been

warned he was slowly killing himself, when he decided to enroll in another psilocybin trial at new york university. during one psilocybin session, he was flooded with powerful feelings and images from his past. >> kostakopoulos: stuff would come up that i haven't thought of since they happened. >> cooper: so, old memories that you hadn't even remembered came back to you? >> kostakopoulos: i felt, you know, a lot of shame and embarrassment throughout one of the sessions, about my drinking, and how bad i felt for my parents to put up with all this. >> cooper: he took psilocybin in 2016. he says he hasn't had a drink since. do you ever have a day where you wake up and you're like, man, i wish i could have a vodka right now, or beer? >> kostakopoulos: never. >> cooper: not at all? >> kostakopoulos: not at all, which is the craziest thing, because that was my favorite thing to do. >> i want you to lie back, put the eyeshade on, and the headphones, and let the music carry you now. >> cooper: using psychedelic drugs in therapy is not new.

there were hundreds of scientific studies done on a similar compound, l.s.d., in the 1950s and '60s. it was tested on more than 40,000 people, some in controlled therapeutic settings like this one. but there were also abuses. the u.s. military and c.i.a. experimented with l.s.d., tients knowledge. ♪ ♪ fear over rampant drug use and the spread of the counter culture movement, not to mention harvard professor timothy leary urging people to "turn on, tune in and drop out," led to a clamp-down. >> president nixon: this nation faces a major crisis in terms of the increasing use of drugs, particularly among our young people. >> cooper: in 1970, president richard nixon signed the controlled substances act, and nearly all scientific research in the u.s. into the effects of psychedelics on people stopped. it wasn't until 2000 that scientist roland griffiths won f.d.a. approval to study

psilocybin. >> griffiths: this whole area of research has been in the deep freeze for 25 or 30 years. and so as a scientist, sometimes i feel like rip van winkle. >> cooper: and once you saw the results? >> griffiths: yeah. the red light started flashing. this is extraordinarily interesting. it's unprecedented, and the capacity of the human organism to change. it just-- was astounding. >> cooper: it sounds like you are endorsing this for everybody. >> griffiths: yeah, let's be really clear on that. we are very aware of the risks, and would not recommend that people simply go out and do this. >> cooper: griffiths and johnson screen out people with psychotic disorders, or with close relatives who have had schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. study volunteers at johns hopkins are given weeks of intensive counseling before and after the six-hour psilocybin experience. the psilocybin is given in a carefully controlled setting,

one to three times. to date, they say there's not been a single serious adverse outcome. >> mary cosimano: so, i'm going to tuck you in. >> cooper: we were told we couldn't record anyone participating in the study while they were on psilocybin, because it might impact their experience, but we were shown how it begins, without the psilocybin. >> cosimano: questions? >> cooper: nope. you lay on a couch, with a blind fold to shut out distractions. >> cosimano: put the headphones on. >> cooper: and headphones playing a mix of choral and classical music. a psychedelic soundtrack with a trained guide, mary cosimano, watching over you. >> cosimano: okay, so, give me your hand. so, i'm going to take your hand. >> cooper: everything is done the same way it was for the l.s.d. experiments scientists conducted in the 1950s and '60s. some of the most dramatic results have been with terminal cancer patients struggling with anxiety and paralyzing depression. >> kerry pappas: i start seeing the colors and the geometric sign and it's , h,

lovely," and, anenom onbega >>ooper: kerry pappas was diagnosed with stage iii lung cancer in 2013. during her psilocybin session, she found herself trapped in a nightmare her mind created. >> pappas: an ancient... prehistoric... barren land. and there's these men with pickaxes, just slamming on the rocks. so-- >> cooper: and this felt absolutely real to you? >> pappas: absolutely real. i was being shown the truth of reality. "life is meaningless. we have no purpose." and then i look, and i'm still, like, a witness... a beautiful, shimmering... bright jewel. and then it was sound, and it was booming, booming, booming.

"right here, right now." >> cooper: that was being said? >> pappas: yes. "you are alive. right here, right now, because that's all you have." and that is my mantra, to this day. >> michael pollan: it seemed so implausible to me that a single experience caused by a molecule, right, ingested in your body, could transform your outlook on something as profound as death. that's-- that's kind of amazing. >> cooper: author michael pollan wrote about the psilocybin studies in a best-selling book, called "how to change your mind." as part of his research, he tried psilocybin himself with the help of an underground guide. the kind of things that cancer patients were saying, like "i touched the face of god." you were skeptical about when you hear phrases like that? >> pollan: yeah. or, "love is the most important thing in the universe." when someone tells me that, i'm just like, "yeah, okay." >> cooper: so you don't go for some of the phrases that are used? >> pollan: no. it gives me the willies, as a writer. and i really struggled with that, because during one of my

experiences, i came to the earth-shattering conclusion that love is the most important thing in the universe. but it's-- that's hallmark card stuff, right? and, so-- >> cooper: and yet, while you were on it, and afterward-- >> pollan: it was profoundly true. and it is profoundly true. guess what? >> cooper: there's a reason it's on a hallmark card. >> pollan: there is a reason. and one of the things psychedelics do is, they peel away all those essentially protective levels of irony and, and cynicism that we, that we acquire as we get older, and you're back to those kind of "oh, my god. i forgot all about love." ( laughs ) >> cooper: pollan said he also experienced what the researchers describe as ego loss, or in our heads. >> pollan: i did have this experience of seeing my ego burst into a little cloud of post-it notes. i know it sounds crazy. >> cooper: and what are you are without an ego? >> pollan: you're-- ( laughs ) you had to be there.

>> cooper: researchers believe that sensation of identity loss occurs because psilocybin quiets these two areas of the brain that normally communicate with each other. they're part of a region called the default mode network, and it's especially active when we're thinking about ourselves and our lives. >> pollan: and it's where you connect what happens in your life to the story of who you are. >> cooper: we all develop a story over time about what our past was like and who we are. >> pollan: right. yeah, what kind of person we are. how we react. and the fact is that interesting things happen when the self goes quiet in the brain, including this rewiring that happens. >> cooper: to see that rewiring, johns hopkins scientist matthew johnson showed us this representational chart of brain activity. the circle on the left shows normal communication between parts of the brain. on the right, what happens on psilocybin. there's an explosion of connections, or crosstalk, between areas of the brain that don't normally communicate. the difference is just

startling. >> johnson: right. >> cooper: is that why people are having experiences of seeing, you know, repressed memo, or pt memo, ople win and even the perceptual effect, sometimes the synesthesia, like, the-- the seeing sound. >> cooper: people see sound? >> johnson: yeah, sometimes. >> cooper: i don't even know what that means. >> johnson: right, yeah. ( laughs ) it's-- it's-- >> pollan: maybe the ego is one character among many in your mind. and you don't necessarily have to listen to that voice that's chattering at you and criticizing you and telling you what to do. and tha's very freeing. >> cooper: it was certainly freeing for kerry pappas. though her cancer has now spread to her brain, her crippling anxiety about death is gone. >> pappas: yeah, it's amazing. i mean, i feel like death doesn't frighten me. living doesn't frighten me. i don't frighten me. this frightens me, but... >> cooper: this interview frightens you, but death doesn't? >> pappas: no! >> cooper: it turns out most of

the 51 cancer patients in the johns hopkins study experienced "significant decreases in depressed mood and anxiety" after trying psilocybin. two-thirds of them rated their psilocybin sessions as among the most meaningful experiences of their lives. for some, it was on par with the birth of their children. >> pappas: to this day, it evolves in me. >> cooper: it's still alive in you. >> pappas: it's still absolutely alive in me. >> cooper: does it make you happier? >> pappas: yeah. and i don't necessarily use the word "happy." comfortable. like, comfortable. i mean, i've suffered from anxiety my whole life. i'm comfortable. that, to me, okay, i can die. i'm comfortable.

>> wertheim: before >> wertheim: before the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the world and battered economies, malta, the smallest country in the european union, was punching above its weight. as we first reported in 2018, this mere blip in the mediterranean was home to one of the e.u.'s fastest growing economies, priding itself on this surge and its plucky personality. but along with old charms and new construction, malta was earning a reputation for rampant corruption and dubious dealings. and then there's the matter of the assassination of a journalist-- daphne caruana galizia-- whose revelations cut a little too close to the heart of power. malta sits as a sun-dappled speck in the mediterranean, three small islands a short ferry ride from sicily and not much farther to libya. the southern gateway to europe. it can be hard to get your

bearings here. over the last three millennia, malta has been conquered or colonized by just about every world power, and each has left its mark. ( bells ringing ) most of the 500,000 people here are catholic, a tradition that started early. the apostle paul is said to have shipwrecked here in 60 a.d. >> mark anthony falzon: i find this to be a good metaphor of maltese culture. >> wertheim: mark anthony falzon is an anthropology professor and local newspaper columnist. >> falzon: the story is that saint paul converted the maltese to christianity. so that would mean that malta was one of the first places to be converted to christianity, even before rome. so we would be the original and the best christians. >> wertheim: a small band of crusaders, later known as the knights of malta, fended off the mighty ottomans in the 16th century. under british rule, the maltese survived more than 3,000 german and italian bombing raids in

world war ii. malta gained its independence in 1964 and, since then, this country with little heavy industry and not much arable land has had to figure out a way to get by on its own. remnants of its fabled past have made it irresistible to hollywood producers. parts of "gladiator" were filmed here. >> are you not entertained? >>theirothne ws.m:" a europeans flock here for a budget tan; oligarchs, to dock their super-yachts. malta's already an established hub of online gambling... >> no more bets! >> wertheim: ...but since taking over in 2013, the current government has sought to refashion the country as a mecca for emerging and complex technologies, like crypto-

currency and block-chain. the 45-year-old prime minister, joseph muscat, is the high priest of this new gospel. >> joseph muscat: welcome to malta. welcome to the block-chain island. thank you. >> wertheim: these industries may be thriving in this sunny place, yet they're known to attract more than their fair share of shadowy people. but that's nothing new. for centuries, malta played host to pirates and smugglers, operating at what mark anthony falzon calls the "center of the fringes." it strikes me there's a certain ingenuity, a certain scrappiness here. >> falzon: yes, and scrappiness also means flexibility. >> wertheim: does that also pertain to a willingness to bend rules? ibilit that sense? >>alzon: no ubt.yes. the person who never bends the rules, they are thought of as a bit of a good boy. >> wertheim: which is not a term of endearment. >> falzon: no, a good boy is not a very good thing to be. it's naiiïve. >> muscat: while we have increased... >> wertheim: perhaps in that same entrepreneurial spirit, the government has launched a

program-- some call it a scheme- - to sell passports to the world's super-rich. have a spare million? you too could buy maltese citizenship, and as this promotional video shows, the european union passport that comes with it. >> as citizens of malta, successful applicants can enjoy visa-free access to approximately 170 countries. >> wertheim: who's buying these passports? >> manuel delia: russian tycoons, chinese tycoons, saudi tycoons, nigerian tycoons. >> wertheim: for manuel delia, an online journalist and longtime critic of the current government, the program, estimated to have brought in almost a billion dollars, is essentially a trojan horse, allowing those with dubious aims to breach europe's borders. why would they want a maltese passport? >> delia: because they want to go in the rest of the world, hiding where they're really from. maltese passports give them not only free movement for themselves through european airports, but it gives their money, their capital, free

movement throughout europe. >> wertheim: and free movement to the united states. american airport, you've got that maltese passport validated by the e.u., you go right through passport control? >> delia: visa-free, absolutely. so, that's a big reason to have it. >> wertheim: applicants to the golden passport program, as it's come to be known, are supposed to show that they've established residence in malta for at least a year. but when we checked the listed address for a russian tycoon, it led us here... >> delia: down there in the basement. >> wertheim: ...to a modest suburb and rundown basement apartment that had been divided in two. let's just call this what it is. this-- this is a fraud. >> delia: it is a fraud. it's a fraud. what's worse, it's perpetrated e. >> wertheim: there are other countries in europe where money can get you a passport, but in tiny malta, it has helped contribute to the economic boom. and yet, if malta is suddenly flush with cash, in other ways, it's bankrupt. at least according to journalist daphne caruana galizia, who

spent years chronicling organized crime, as well as high-level corruption, for malta's major newspapers, and then on her blog, "running commentary." when she launched the site in 2008, her son matthew says it quickly turned into a must-read. how would you describe her blog, "running commentary," to someone that-- that hadn't read it before? >> matthew caruna galizia: it was completely revolutionary. >> wertheim: she became known simply as "daphne," and just as quickly, became a reviled figure in some corners of malta. vilified by government officials, subjected to libel suits, and to death threats. do you ever think to say, "mom, you've got to stop the blog, you've got to stop poking and provoking. this is getting dangerous." >> galizia: of course she felt fear, and you could see it. she knew that the powerful people that she was writing about were closing in on her. they were using every possible means to shut her down. she knew that, and that frightened her deeply. >> wertheim: then on the afternoon of october 16, 2017,

matthew was sitting across from his mother at the dining room table in the family home as she finished a blog post. "there are crooks everywhere you look now," she wrote. "the situation is desperate." just before 3:00 p.m., she left the house to go to the bank. >> galizia: and then what seemed like 30 seconds later, i hear the explosion. and just, it was just so loud. >> wertheim: daphne's car made it less than a mile down the road through the valley when a powerful bomb placed under her seat was detonated, sending thick black smoke into the air. matthew ran toward the wreckage. so you think this is where-- >> galizia: i think this is where the-- this is where the bomb went off. it's been marked by the forensic team. and this is where a lot of the flesh and metal and plastic was. >> wertheim: the car ended up in a field 100 yards away, consumed by a fireball. matthew's first instinct was to try and get his mother out.

>> galizia: i remember walking up to the driver's side and just seeing fire. i didn't see anything else inside the car. >> wertheim: there are a lot of ways to kill someone. what do you think the significance of a car bomb this powerful was? >> galizia: obviously it was a way of killing my mother. a way of sending a message to us, to our family. and a way of sending a message to anyone else who was thinking of doing anything about the really grand corruption in this country. >> wertheim: this was a symbolic gesture? >> galizia: it was. >> wertheim: for the mourners who attended daphne's funeral, her assassination was symbolic of just how corroded malta had become, under a government that she claimed doesn't just tolerate corruption, but encourages it. the list of scandals she exposed and relentlessly pursued is too numerous to catalogue here, and includes allegations of cronyism, bribery, and money laundering. but there's one revelation that stands out, involving a murky maltese bank recently shuttered

by european authorities. it allegedly held accounts for some of malta's most well- connected, including the prime minister's chief of staff, keith schembri. as daphne chronicled, schembri is alleged to have taken kickbacks for brokering malta's billion-dollar national energy deal, and for taking payoffs to help russian millionaires snag those coveted maltese passports. >> delia: keith schembri is still in business. he's the chief of staff of the prime minister. he's the most powerful man in this government. >> wertheim: he went to work today? >> delia: he went to work today. >> wertheim: with-- with this cloud hovering over him? >> delia: well, this is what impunity is about. this is why i'm angry. >> wertheim: schembri denies any wrongdoing, but leaked findings into the passport kickback allegations by malta's own financial watchdog determined that there was "reasonable suspicion of money laundering and/or the existence of proceeds of crime." maltese justice officials are looking into both sets of allegations.

what's more, there have been multiple inquiries by european authorities, all raising seriou. we put all this to glenn bedingfield, a local member of parliament and former advisor to the prime minister. what's your level of concern? >> glenn bedingfield: i don't have any concerns. >> wertheim: you have no concerns about corruption? >> bedingfield: no, because i think that there's a smear campaign, trying to hit the government. >> wertheim: all of this is a politically-charged smear campaign-- >> bedingfield: it is a politically charged smear campaign, yes. >> wertheim: the e.u., the european authorities. >> bedingfield: the e.u. can you quote from an e.u.-- can you? >> wertheim: i can quote from an e.u. report right now. this is ana maria gomes, an m.e.p. >> bedingfield: whoa, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. ana maria gomes. >> ana maria gomes: we are taking up malta in the european parliament. >> wertheim: when we met her, ana maria gomes was a portuguese member of the european parliament, leading an e.u. inquiry into the rule of law in malta. she was part of a growing chorus of officials who see the country as a problem child on the continent. >> gomes: the system is basically flawed, because the prime minister ultimately

controls the attorney general, who also controls the police. nobody's being tried. and of course, the sense of impunity is being fueled by this fact. and it affects us all. >> wertheim: something's rotten in the state of malta, i hear you say. >> gomes: yes. and such a beautiful island, and such a great people, such a proud history. but, i must say that at the moment, indeed, the political atmosphere is-- is-- is rotten. >> wertheim: we repeatedly asked to speak with prime minister muscat, but were told he didn't have time. instead, the government put forward the finance minister, edward scicluna. can you not see how people looking at malta from the outside really wonder about integrity and corruption here? >> edward scicluna: it's not that picture you're-- you're depicting. it looks bad, but it's not. >> wertheim: i want to be clear: this is a depiction based on multiple different authorities inside in europe-- >> scicluna: all allegations. they are all allegations. >> wertheim: they're allegations that have come out of investigations. these aren't ad hominem attacks... >> scicluna: no. i'm not trying to downplay

allegations. allegations are serious. but they are still allegations. you know, it's up to the courts and their procedures and their experts to des-- to decide. >> wertheim: the supporters of daphne caruana galizia have no faith in these experts and procedures, especially when it comes to solving her murder. after a high-profile government raid nearly two years ago, three men were detained-- figures she didn't know and never wrote about. but few doubt the assassination was ordered by one of her many powerful enemies. how will you know when you have justice? >> galizia: when all the corrupt people that she was reporting on, treating our country as a gigantic trough which they're feeding from for years-- when they've paid the price for thatf my mother's stories. but there also has to be justice for her murder, too. >> wertheim: the old ramparts, designed to protect malta from

conquest and colonization, still stand tall. but outside forces that once might have invaded the country now look on with concern, waiting to see whether malta can from the center of the fringes. since we first broadcast this story, joseph muscat, malta's prime minister, resigned in disgrace amidst a firestorm over his handling of the investigation into daphne's death. his chief of staff, keith schembri, left too, and one of the wealthiest men in malta, with close ties to the muscat government, has been arrested. his business dealings had been a target of daphne's investigations.
