I see no problem investigating clinical use of psilocybin in terminal, refractory patients. Ketamine shows promise also. Too many knee jerks on this thread.
Maybe look into arsenic and antifreeze too. LOL!
I believe it's the real deal. The abstract I saw claimed patient's depression score dramatically decreased after treatment.
there is a study that says LSD takes away the anxiety at end of life basically taking away your fear of death.
Anecdotally word has it that Silicon Valley types are regularly taking low levels of LSD to improve their creativity.
For people with depression though this is probably great news the treatment using mushrooms is 1 to a few times and your good for months if not longer. No more having to take an SSRI everyday or an antipsychotic.
