Shrooming for a Better Life

July 2, 2008 by Greg 

Hmmm…

In a previous study, the researchers gave psilocybin to 36 healthy, well-educated volunteers with active spiritual lives. After taking the substance under controlled conditions, 60 percent of the participants reported have a “full mystical experience.”

When the researchers checked with the volunteers 14 months later, the same percentage said taking psilocybin increased their sense of well-being or life satisfaction.

    when I first read the title, I was sure this was gonna be a post eschewing the virtues of more potabello in your diet.

    this is so much better.

    in other news; use of psilocybin accounts for 97% more pirate ship sightings than all other cybins combined..

    Hi,

    I just wanted to let people know that there is a new psilocybin study underway at Johns Hopkins University that is recruiting volunteers with a past or present diagnosis of cancer.
