• Psilocybin Treatment for Major Depression May be Effective for

These resources are not always available or difficult to find for members of the public or others studying these
mushrooms, such as law enforcement officers and medical researchers. Although available studies include
increasingly more detailed descriptions of species, there is currently no up to date monograph or guide (Høiland,
1978; Guzmán et al., 2004, 2016; Borovička, 2008; Ramírez-Cruz et al., 2013a; Cortés-Pérez et al., 2021). When it
comes to treating depression, Nichols pointed to psilocybin’s speed and efficacy as 2 of its most attractive
qualities. Psilocybin’s effects are observable soon after administration (days) compared to standard
antidepressants, which, when they work, can take weeks to fully kick in.

For years, whispers have circulated about an underground network of athletes -- primarily ex-athletes -- using
psilocybin, the compound in magic mushrooms, to treat traumatic brain injuries, anxiety and depression. Many of
them, like Cote, view psychedelics as a miracle cure, the one thing they'd been able to find that could help break a
cycle of pharmaceutical painkillers and substance abuse. They gathered in small groups to ingest mushrooms in
private or traveled to countries such as Jamaica where psychedelic mushrooms aren't prohibited. The psilocybin in
magic mushrooms seems to change how serotonin is regulated in the brain, leading to unusual thoughts. This
means escaping the stress of everyday life which can be rewarding for https://acsauhaya.org/reservation some. It
takes 20 to 40 minutes for the person to start feeling the effects of magic mushrooms, and the trip can last up to
many hours.

• To understand more about this lesser-understood type of drug addiction, you need to know a bit more
about magic mushrooms and what they are.
• They expressed feeling a connection to the other people in the circle.
• He et al. (2019) and Wijayawardene et al. (2020) placed Panaeolus in incertae sedis, a taxonomic group
reserved for taxons where broader relationships are unknown or undefined.
• Pluteus hubregtseorum was described using both the nrITS and EF1- α genes (ševčíková et al., 2021).

This was supported by studies of binocular rivalry, showing that two doses of psilocybin (115 μg/kg and
250 μg/kg) slowed down the rate of binocular rivalry switching and increased the proportion of reports of
mixed percepts [60, 61]. Our study failed to replicate these findings, possibly due to the lower effective dose of
psilocybin contained in the mushroom preparations. Neither of these tasks revealed a significant effect of
Psilocybe cubensis microdosing on conscious information processing. There are already signs that authorities may
be beginning to shift. In October, US regulators gave Compass’s treatment breakthrough therapy status, a
designation given to new medicines that might improve treatments for serious conditions, which means
authorities will expedite their review of evidence.

This review discusses species identification, taxonomy and classification, available DNA sequence data and
psychedelic species in Psilocybe, Panaeolus, Pluteus, and Gymnopilus, as well as similar looking genera that could
be harmful. The efficacy of microdosing to enhance mood, creativity and cognition and to reduce anxiety and
depression is supported by anecdotal accounts [17] and, more recently, by online surveys, observational, and
open-label studies [7,8,9, 18,19,20, 27,28,29]. Unfortunately, these studies lack adequate controls and are based on
self-selected samples, rendering them vulnerable to confirmatory bias.

Like the peyote (mescaline), hallucinogenic mushrooms have been used in native or religious rites for centuries.
Both psilocybin and psilocin can also be produced synthetically in the lab. There have been reports that psilocybin
bought on the streets can actually be other species of mushrooms laced with LSD.
