Note: billionaire Trump supporter Peter Thiel backs the company that makes it. “The 'magic mushroom' chemical, psilocybin, has been named a Breakthrough Therapy by the FDA, expediting research on its use to treat depression. The designation was introduced in 2012 and is reserved only for treatments for serious and life threatening conditions that may be better than existing ones. Psilocybin is a Schedule I drug, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DA), but it and several other psychedelic drugs have lately gained traction as promising mental illness treatments. In August, a trial of psilocybin got the FDA's approval for the first time ever. The trial's results thus far have apparently been so promising for patients with treatment-resistant depression that the agency has now given it the rare classification, which could cut the time it takes to get approved in half…” https://dailym.ai/2RbigW6 Serious about crackers | ||

Hey, if it prevents depressed people from becoming suicidal people, more power to them. Depression, *Real Depression*, is crippling and should be treated as an emergency. I hope it works. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

I've read recently that psychedelic trips can help the terminally ill come to terms with their death. https://michaelpollan.com/books/ | |||

Trippy. The topic itself has been trending quite a bit the last few years, microdosing 'shrooms and MDMA. I don't know much about it beyond the headlines but it sounds intriguing. | |||

Sounds promising, and considering how dangerous/harmful/ineffective many of the currently approved options are, I hope it's effective and available soon. It's not like people who are in mental anguish every day and often on the brink of suicide have much to lose by trying. | |||

I took shrooms a few times recreationally in high school and college. Aside from projectile vomiting about 45 minutes to 1 hour after eating them, the trip was pretty mellow and happy. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

An earlier (Dec, 2017) article, noting that billionaire Trump supporter Peter Thiel is an investor in Compass Pathways, which makes a commercial version of psilocybin. “…The results of that study were so promising that they jump-started a sort of renaissance in psychedelic research that's now being led by a handful of non-profit research organizations and startups. One of them is Compass Pathways, a for-profit company that Silicon Valley entrepreneur Peter Thiel invested in last year. The UK-based group announced last week that it plans to start clinical trials of psilocybin for depression and anxiety sometime within the first three months of 2018, the Financial Times reported. They aim to enroll 400 people across eight countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, and Spain - potentially making it the largest international study of the drug to-date. London-based entrepreneur Christian Angermayer, ex-hedge fund manager Mike Novogratz, and film producer Sam Englebardt are also backers of Compass…” http://www.businessinsider.com...sion-science-2017-12 Serious about crackers | |||
