Recent studies have shown that psilocybin mushrooms are highly beneficial to the treatment of a wide range of mental health issues.
I have met people who struggle with crippling disorders such as complex post traumatic stress disorder, who have reported positive experiences with psilocybin which they have found growing naturally in Britain. I find it hard to believe that a chemical which shows such therapeutic promise has been banned in a free-thinking Western democracy for decades.
