Mach said:[quote]relieves OCD symptoms



TUCSON, Ariz. - A preliminary study of the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms has found it is effective in relieving the symptoms of people suffering from severe obsessive compulsive disorder, a University of Arizona psychiatrist reports.



Dr. Francisco A. Moreno led the first FDA-approved clinical study of psilocybin since it was outlawed in 1970. The results of the small-scale study are published in the latest edition of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.

Moreno said the study's intent was only to test the safety of administering psilocybin to patients, and its effectiveness is still in doubt until a larger controlled study can be conducted.

But in each of the nine patients in the study, psilocybin completely removed symptoms of the disorder for a period of about four to 24 hours, with some remaining symptom-free for days, Moreno said."What we saw acutely was a drastic decrease in symptoms," Moreno said. "The obsessions would really dissolve or reduce drastically for a period of time."

The drug is not one that could be taken daily, Moreno said, and many questions remain about its use, including if it would be addictive or if patients would develop a tolerance to the drug.


Keep in mind "small scale". Nine patients? What about a control group? Placebos??? I'm not hearing what's usually required of a scientific study. This data is completely irrelevant. Meaningless. It's preliminary beyond publishing. Did this come from "High Times"?
The safety of the drug as with all medications is the dose. Is it measurable?
Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorders would logically be reduced with a hallucinogenic.
Mushroom effectiveness lasts well over 4 hours and given enough mushrooms, 24 hours.
At this rate, mushrooms are a cure all for anything.
ONLY IN TUCSON!! Waiting for the next peyote update.

Last time I did shrooms I stole a kid with downs syndrome and locked him in my basement telling my friends i'd caught a goblin.

it's actually an urban legend from school.

I don't want to do shrooms. I'll never go further than weed. I have a genuine fear that any drug that unleashes my subconscious and blurs my already fragile reality would fuck me up beyond all belief.

I once did blotter acid, was way too gone for most of the day, and seriously thought I was too materialistic and wasn't going to polish my nails anymore.
Got over it when the stuff wore off. Polish my nails and toes diligently. Don't do hallucinogenics. Interferes with my natural state of being.

LSD is much better than shrooms, if youre going to do it go all the way.

I wouldn't say acid is stronger, but they're different.

Acid is better for revelations; it allows for amazing thought connections. It allows you to hear your subconscious more clearly.

Mushrooms help you experience the world differently (sometimes more accurately), especially visually.

I don't like the feeling acid gives my body. Mushrooms feel more natural to me. But when I took acid for the first time I felt like I had written a book in an evening.
