“Magic” Mushrooms Could Be The Next Major Breakthrough In Treating Depression

We hear about the benefits of marijuana all the time, but psychedelics are often ignored and demonized, particularly with the United States government saying drugs like mushrooms not having any kind of medicinal benefit. But that’s beginning to fly in the face of what science has been learning, especially when you consider a recent study on the matter.
This study, published in the Royal Society Interface, examined the brains of 15 healthy people given psilocybin intravenously. They found that the brain on psilocybin had more inter-regional connections. That basically means that areas of the brain that don’t normally communicate began exchanging neural impulses. It helps explain some of the sensory phenomena that people who “trip” on mushrooms experience, such as hearing colors.

We did tons of these in high school. Neither me or my friends were ever depressed in high school. If YOU did some of these, you wouldn’t be depressed either. It’s hard to be depressed while you’re laughing! LOLOLOLOLOL!
