Psilocybin Mushrooms Promote Growth of New Brain Cells, Can Even Cure PTSD And Depression
766
Past studies from Imperial College London strongly suggest that psilocybin in “shrooms” can cure depression and PTSD, and now studies from South Florida confirm that “shrooms” and psilocybin are like the miracle plant cannabis that is gradually being legalized, a miracle product of the earth with multiple potent medical uses.
Psilocybin Mushrooms By Cassius Methyl Intellihub.com July 7, 2013
New studies show that psilocybin removes the trauma and fear from memories in the minds of mice, and even stimulates the growth of a significant amount of new brain cells.
Studies from The University of South Florida indicate that psilocin (or psilocybin, which metabolizes into psilocin), found in “shrooms”, triggers new brain cell growth, and erases frightening memories from mice. Mice trained to fear electric shock when hearing a noise associated with the shock, stopped reacting in fear to the noise when given a small dose of psilocybin, much more quickly, in contrast to mice given no psilocybin. “They simply lost their fear”, exclaimed the co-author of the study, Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos, a professor of movement disorders.
Much more research could be done by ordinary people and professors alike, if the US government and other too powerful governments weren’t at war with their own citizens over drugs. Psilocybin mushrooms, or “shrooms” of course, are illegal in the United States, and illegal in other countries simply because the US and western powers bullied them into compliance or persuaded them by some means we don’t know of. Psilocybin mushrooms are a genus of mushroom, called “psilocybe”. Such mushrooms that fall into this genus are Psilocybe Cubensis, or Psilocybe Bispora.
People are eager to look into the idea of using Psilocybin Mushrooms to cure PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), chronic depression, and a wide range of other mental and physical ailments, so we will just have to get government off our backs to do so. These mushrooms are harmless, cannot cause overdose, cannot cause death (unless you become frightened and hurt yourself on accident, but that is extremely rare and potentially unheard of, and is the case for almost any psychoactive substance).
Despite its harmlessness, amazing medical potential, and ability to produce phenomenal spiritual/mystical experiences, the gangs of government have nearly all banned Psilocybin Mushrooms. Therefore, for our prosperity, we must peacefully resist unjust laws like this, and use miracle products of the earth such as cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms regardless, until the laws are deemed as ridiculous as they are, and no longer enforced.
To further illustrate these studies, they showed that mice treated with low doses of psilocybin had significant growth of new brain cells, because psilocin binds to a brain receptor that stimulates new brain cell growth, and short term memory formation. When the people regularly participate in civil disobedience and do what they will as long as it hurts nobody, without the tyrannical permission of the federal government, when we disobey those laws that inhibit us, then we can find out if we can use psilocybin to replace Prozac , the mass murder pill used to treat depression that pollutes our water and causes fish to unusually murder other fish.
The science behind psilocybin treating depression is, depressed individuals typically have over active medial prefrontal cortex regions of the brain, and psilocybin eases this, and makes the brain function normally here. Psilocybin, and Psilocybin mushrooms, promote emotional stability and well being, can induce profound spiritual experiences, have been used for thousands of years medicinally, and it is now completely proven that they are beneficial and harmless.
This can more than likely be finally an effective, non dangerous or pharmaceutical treatment for PTSD too, because it curbs the brain’s traumatic association with the images, sounds, and sensory memories from a traumatic experience. “Shrooms” promote health and normal brain function, despite that being the exact opposite of what mainstream news and culture has fed you for years, because of the criminal government we are forced to put up with. Not to mention, Psilocybin is extremely chemically close to the neurotransmitters found in our brains, like serotonin.

As much as I think this is great news, I have a really hard time taking something seriously when it's written with so much bias. Even if it's true that the US and other western governments bully other governments into compliance, it probably shouldn't be stated as absolute fact; it makes it hard to know what other things might not be fact in the article. (It's kind of like when the government says all drugs are horrible, and some kid tries weed and goes, "Oh shit, this obviously isn't bad, maybe the government lied to me about other stuff.")
If we want to keep moving in the direction of legalization, we should be as objective as possible in our arguments; we should never stoop to the level of the government by using their tactics.

The article is written with bias (as are all articles pretty much) but it states the facts about the study. If you really are curious you can look up the study yourself and interpret their results for yourself or even redo the experiment. How are you supposed to take it as fact? Your not, you're supposed to be skeptical.

I agree that it's next to impossible to write something without any bias, but I feel the argument for more research of psilocybin mushrooms could still have been made just as well without the comments about the government, or they could have been rephrased to not sound quite so extreme (as much as they're likely true). I think it makes the article sound a little less credible.
Also, I agree that one should be skeptical when reading anything; I definitely wouldn't just read one article and take it as fact, as I imagine you wouldn't either.

Although I agree with the idea of legalizing mushrooms and cannabis, or atleast lowering them from Class I, this article is not going to help that at all. To get these things legal, we need to make a strong case, not sit around writing articles that are meant to expose government propaganda. I know that such propaganda exists but trying to throw that in the governments face is not going to help anything. What we need is for people who support our beliefs to get into congress and get things done.
This article reminds me of the low life stoners that live with their parents, have no job and spend almost 24 hours of the day baked, and then wonder why weed is illegal. If you aren't a productive member of society then the validity of your argument is already lowered, which is why I am glad that a lot of important figures such as Steve Jobs have talked openly about the importance of their use of psychedelics. It may not make the problem go away but it helps. Anyway, that was a long tangent but this is just a poorly written, INCREDIBLY biased article IMO.

The article is extremely biased and I did not like the fact that it was because it did make it a lot less credible. They messed up in that way I agree strongly.

This is the kind of news worthy postings that should be taught in the public school system.
Wouldn't it be something wonderful if for a 8 year old girl if she could take a whole bag of magic mushrooms to school for 'show and tell" and does the whole class
then at least the kids would actually get some benefit from school ....other than the bullshit they endure otherwise

Fact!
Magic mushrooms are the cure for chronic depression...
I went from a guy, holding a shotgun under his chin.... Popping pills, dying in the hospital to just your average go lucky guy all in one 3.5g sitting over six years ago....
Have not felt depressed since....sad sometimes but nothing like how I was since I ate them.
A lot of people I associate with will all tell the same story.
The government suppresses these cures because the pharmaceutical industry would lose billions in revenue.
No one is stooping to the government level.... We would have to kick in the doors of parliament, shoot their guard dogs/armed guards dead on the spot, in prison all the lawmakers for years and years to stoop to the governments level...

I completely agree that the pharmaceutical companies lobby against natural treatments. Take iboga for example; it can, in many cases, cure an opiate addiction in a few treatments over the course of a couple years, and the patient typically doesn't have withdrawal symptoms after the first treatment.
Personally, I just think they're simply not good businesspeople. Why not just start growing and marketing natural treatments for themselves? Unless there were more money to be made in keeping people on a maintenance program rather than curing their disease...

Can anyone link me or show me the Mg/kg. They say small dose but its a rat... I want to know
1. Are they referencing low for humans in comparison 2. Or, low dose for a rat. 2. Lastly if they gave the rats a human low-dose, wouldn't that be a huge dose for a human.

0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/kg psilocybin for the mice.
Directly translated to human doses on a mg/kg basis, those are very. In fact, I'm of the opinion they're pretty astronomical.
