Study: Magic Mushrooms Help Ease Cancer Patients' Anxiety
(Chicago, IL) -- Magic mushrooms may help ease the anxiety of people with advanced cancer. A new study found that a dozen people given a single dose of the hallucinogen psilocybin reported feeling less depressed even six months later. Researchers at UCLA and the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute hoped to show that researching hallucinogens could be done safely. All such medical studies were halted in the 1970s after LSD and psilocybin became synonymous with the '60s counterculture. Federal law now bans use of the so-called magic mushroom for any purpose. The findings are published in the journal, "Archives of General Psychiatry." |
