11ds agoA new study from the New England Journal of Medicine shows a key component in so-called "magic mushrooms" could help patients with severe depression.
Specifically, the study suggests people suffering from depression who are resistant to other treatments may find solace in a single dose of synthetic psilocybin.
A single dose apparently has immediate and fast-acting effects, and that after 12 weeks of treatment some patients showed almost zero depressive symptoms.
More testing is apparently needed before clinical use, although psilocybin has already been decriminalized in places like Washington, D.C.
