UCLA researchers may be tripping, but they say a new study shows that magic mushrooms can help ease anxiety for patients with advanced-stage cancer.

Psychedelic drugs were studied as medicine in the 1960s, but widespread recreational use of LSD, magic mushrooms and marijuana stirred a federal crackdown and made the research culturally off limits.

I hope this is further studied and used by the medical community.

I read about this in the paper yesterday. Interesting that one small dose can help someone from a couple of weeks upt to six months. It even seem to help them tolerate pain better.
It was an awfully small sampling, but seems to show some promise.

He's gone bye-bye.
Big Pharma cannot make perfect medicine like nature can all they make is poison. Nature can cure any disease. People would not have lived as long as they have if this were not true.
I have heard many people claim that potent marijuana oil has cured many diseases. I believe it. Most people don't believe it because big pharma and the FDA says only they hae a clue as to what is good for you and what is not. They do not want people growing their own food and medicines.
If people were able to grow their own poppies and marijuana most people would have no reason to go to the doctor. If the FDA were not in control of foods and medicines the free market would decide what works and what does not work. Some people might over do opium and marijuana but not any more than already do only it would be safer to the user because then tey would not have to endanger themselves and become desperate. enough to rob people because they do not have enough money to purchase their. If they grew it it would not cost them anything and they could do as much or as little as they wanted to. Many many addicts work many of them have legal prescriptions (which are proven even more dangerous than street drugs) and many are alcoholic or sex addicts. We keep blaming the substance and are not looking at the real problem. What is the real problem? Oneof the problems is the brainwashing of society to believe that governments can make laws that keep them out of the hands of regular people. It has taken a long gradual time for the idea that a regular person has no idea how to take care of their health. They want health care to be very expensive and complex the only way to do that is to make sure every single person gets the dose of poison that is prescribed. Vaccines are a good exampe of this. I know many people who have been harmed by them. I don't care what kind of "evidence" says otherwise; vaccines are harmful to certain types of people. It is a slow creepy kind of genocide. That will not be proven by big pharma or the FDA because it in their best interest not to. I guess they need to come up with a test to find out which people have the gene that is disrupted when vaccine is received so they can make some more money on vaccines. But by all means don't take out the mercury or the aluminum
