sugardaddy Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/science/2016/05/17/Magic-mushrooms_3136506a-large-large_trans++2oUEflmHZZHjcYuvN_Gr-bVmXC2g6irFbtWDjolSHWg.jpgA hallucinogenic chemical found in magic mushrooms has successfully lifted severe depression in previously untreatable patients.Scientists at Imperial College London induced intense psychedelic trips in 12 people using high doses of the banned substance psilocybin.A week after the experience all the volunteers were depression-free, and three months later five still had no symptoms of the condition. Published in the Lancet Psychiatry Journal, the study welcomes the results as “promising, but not completely compelling".Its authors are now seeking further funding from the Medical Research Council and other bodies to carry out fuller trials.They conceded, however, that the use of a placebo control, a crucial component of thorough clinical trials, would be difficult as it would be obvious who was having a hallucinogenic experience and who was not.The psilocybin is believed to cause relief from depression by targeting receptors in the brain and disrupting the Default Mode Network, which is responsible for sense of self and is overactive in depressed people.However, the scientists did not rule out that the psychedelic trip could have caused an “awakening”, of the kind achieved by spiritual teaching, which also helped lift the depression.

IAG Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Interesting. Would not be adverse to trying in the right conditions. Then again I know people who have used too many psychedelics and are now legit schizophrenic. Risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 day late for eggsLOL. I've never tried mushrooms. I did some low-doseage LSD in college on occasion. Looking back, I'm surprised I did that, It's good to be young and fearless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 LOL. I've never tried mushrooms. I did some low-doseage LSD in college on occasion. Looking back, I'm surprised I did that, It's good to be young and fearless. I did both, mushrooms didn't seem to last as long and I laughed a whole lot more on mushrooms. I mean like almost pissed my pants I was laughing so hard. Mushrooms are fun but I remember my stomach being fucked up for a couple days after. Not worth it. I am too old now !

Smoke Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Did em several times when I was younger. Slept all day the next day. Not worth it unless you have nothing to do for at least 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Man Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Wound up having ECT as a last resort for medication resistant severe depression. Certainly looking to avoid that in. future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankie Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 This is not new information to me, maybe others. I have experienced first hand the post-mushroom benefits. Refreshed, re-energized, motivated, uplifted, happy, renewed. All humans should use them once a year. Never felt like shit the day after, ever. Always felt amazing like I was freshly born. Rarely ate them though, always made a tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I know people who have used too many psychedelics and are now legit schizophrenic. Risky.My former colleagues at http://maps.org are on the forefront of research regarding the responsible application of psylocybin for PTSD, clinical depression etc Deliberate and careful use of this and also pharmaceutical grade MDMA can work wonders, but both are recommended in extremely moderate doses spread many weeks or even a couple months apart.

joeybagadonuts Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Haven't done mushrooms since the 90s but I can see how they come help depression. Had a few literal "life changing" realizations while on both acid and mushrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
