"I wouldn’t want members of the public thinking they can treat their own depressions by picking magic mushrooms"...Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, Imperial College London

Considering you find them in dried cow pies, I'm sure they won't be doing it a lot............

[MUDDOG]

Prob’ly keep us both alive.

[enraged]

Unfortunately the side effects are hallucinations, and you will find yourself believing Bernie Sanders’ promises of a better future.

Those mushrooms grow in Ireland. They have been linked to leprechaun sightings.

Those things will make you trip balls to the wall, and are WAY more potent than the little sissy shrooms pictured above.

Don’t ask me how I know this.

They’ve reported similar results with LSD and terminally ill cancer patients which makes me think there’s something to this research.

...depends on how many mushrooms your wife put in the gravy before she suggested you go pick more mushrooms

[BipolarBob]

Drug companies can’t make billions if you pick them yourselves.

[buckalfa]

Shrooooooooooooms !

[HangnJudge]

Aren't they cute

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.

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.

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.
