Magic mushrooms and LSD should be used to treat mental health problems, says psychiatrist
Common mental health problems could be treated by LSD and magic mushrooms, says a leading psychiatrist.

But legal restrictions makes testing the drugs for any potential benefits extremely hard.

Writing in the BMJ, James Rucker, lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, said research was carried out in the 1950s and 1960s which indicated some positive impacts LSD and shrooms had on psychiatric cases.

But the drugs were outlawed and classed as doing more harm than good in a medical sense so experiments immediately halted.

Good news.

Psychedelics are extremely promising in the treatment of chemical dependencies (alcohol, nicotine, and various other drugs), clinical depression, fear of death and various other problems. LSD, shrooms, ketamine, DMT and DXM are very promising even at very low doses.

Too bad the abuse of psychedelics stopped all clinical research in this field.

There is a good Radio Play which aired a couple of months ago called Frankie Takes a Trip.

Radio 4 made the play and it is about the famous British comedian Frankie Howerd who was suffering from mental problems in the 60s.

He goes to the clinic for for LSD treatment to help him get through it and understand where it is coming from.

It is a good laugh but it is a true story.

Im sure it might still be available for a listen on the Radio 4 site or iplayer

If you are wanting psylocibin mushrooms
ie Cubensis mushrooms and you are in an
area from Dallas TX to the Virginia coast
and south to Louisiana and Florida
TODAY begins cubensis season.
It rained here last night and I
promise if you look in pastures of well
cared for cows tomorrow you will find
TONS of cubensis.
I expect to pick an entire long wheelbase
truck bed FULL of cubensis before noon
Sunday.

In low doses out in the woods I agree, that is the best place to trip

But could also back fire on the wrong nutter

for clarification, cubensis are not found in shade.
They're found in full sun in cow pastures after a
rain, even a small rain.
