Psilocybin Mushrooms

While psilocybin mushrooms are still a prohibited Schedule I substance, studies show that mushrooms can provide many medical benefits. "Magic mushrooms" have been used to treat depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. While the drug's hallucinogens can provide some temporary, psychological discomfort or anxiety for some, many experience euphoria or peacefulness. Additionally, the physical side effects of these mushrooms are minimal.
