Many psychiatric drugs mimic the effects of mushrooms and marijuana with less side effects.

Always reminded me of eating a cat dropping.
I would become nauseous, puke and then get paranoid.
Ah, the memories...

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.
So use a different hallucinogen as the placebo, one that hasn't had any effect on depression.

Considering you find them in dried cow pies, I'm sure they won't be doing it a lot.Mushroom cow pie quiche. An old vegetarian favorite.

You used to be able to order the spores through the mail.
Perhaps they have stopped this.

Sunshine is the magic medicine for depression and even for some of the things that are lumped under the Bipolar brand;
sunshine, or if you work nights, vitamin D-3. I have turned on one diagnosed bipolar and two pretty severe manic depressives to this notion and they have evened out and the two that were taking anti depressants have stopped. Another woman, a waitress at Waffle House whom I saw at the counter infrequently, on Methadone who was trying to actually end her addiction took my advice and started taking the D-3 and getting out in the sun when she could has since dropped the methadone and the Prozac and has been blissfully NORMAL for almost a year. I had not known about the Methadone until she told me she had dropped it.

Theyve reported similar results with LSD and terminally ill cancer patients which makes me think theres something to this research. There is also some research that LSD can be used to treat alcohol and drug addiction.
I've also heard rumors that folks in silicon valley do low dose LSD to stimulate their creativity.

Hmm..No wonder I have not suffered a serious bout of depression since before my college days. Of all the stupid things I have done in my life, the mushrooms were the most fun.
