I know it's a really small study, but it has some interesting implications. Any thoughts?

Let the plants guide you, for they teach lessons beyond what we humans can offer.
Distorted is our perception of reality, because reality is much more distorted than we could ever perceive it to be.

Several studies have shown that psilocybin can change people’s attitudes for the better and may be useful for treating depression


Doing really fun and interesting things like consuming psychedelic fungi can help people be happy instead of depressed? Duh.Smile

I have a friend who has been taking psilocybin in a clinical setting for the treatment of migraines... Claims remarkable results. I think this ties into the whole blood flow thing. Of course the attitude/outlook aspects are, at least among users of this forum, beyond dispute- whether this ties into the treatment of migraines directly or not is hard to say.

This is also referenced in this NPR article as well.

It's nice to see some real research on the benefits of psychedelics....
If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.
