How Magic Mushrooms Altered My Course In Life?

Microdosing, the low dosage of psychedelic drugs, has been shown to produce positive effects on various aspects of life. Magic mushrooms, the active compound found in magic mushrooms, have the potential to treat body dysmorphia and eating disorders, as well as improve one’s body image. Neuroscience research by Roland Griffiths and colleagues at Johns Hopkins reaffirms the universal ability of one mystical psychedelic trip or having a profound “God”.

Magic mushrooms affect the brain’s prefrontal cortex, which regulates abstract thinking, thought analysis, mood, and perception. New trials have shown that psilocybin is highly effective in treating depression, with Oakland being the latest US city to decriminalise it last. However, leading mycologist Paul Stamets believes it’s time for fans of psilocybin mushrooms to leave such childish slang behind.

Psychedelics such as LSD, psilocybin, DMT, and ayahausca have been shown to have clinical efficacy in the treatment of depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health disorders. UK patients may soon be able to access psychedelic therapy safely and legally. Psychedelic mushrooms are illegal under federal law, but a bill being discussed in Arizona has opened up the conversation about their potential use in mental health disorders.

A single dose of magic mushrooms can make people with severe anxiety and depression better for months, according to a landmark pair of new studies. The potential of psychedelic drugs to address mental health disorders and change or even save lives is a topic of interest.
