Poll :: How many people use mushrooms medicanally?

So, how many people use them for medicine? Do you use recreational doses medicinally? What medical reason do you dose for? How much do the mushrooms help? How often do you dose for medical purposes?

I don't think you can consume shrooms medicinally.

Well I know they are used to treat OCD and a couple other disorders but there aren't many medical uses. Maybe he meant spiritually

Yes, but how many people self medicate themselves with mushrooms for say headaches or chronic stress disorders? Medicanally is not recreational. There is a both option. Spiritual healing could count as well I guess..

you should have added on option on the second half that says, I do not use for medical use. The results are going to be flawed

They don't just give you shrooms and say "well your cured" They use them as a tool to do therapeutic work on the unconscious while you are under the influence. You would need a psychologist who focuses on that area psychotherapy to get results.

I have used them or lsd to help with allergy (reduces sinus headaches for me) and for help with breaking habits or addictive behavior both at microdoses. barely enough to feel.

Me, OCD.
I sometimes feel like it's almost gone entirely and I've definitely felt it make a noticeable difference for at least some days afterward.
My thoughts are clearer, I don't feel as overwhelmed by problems without solutions and my general "tolerance" for things not going as they should is a lot higher. I really think it lets me "step back" and take a look at things for a moment, and gather my thoughts about my situation.

Sure, it's not an insta-cure but there's a clear physical feeling of improvement that's just indescribable having been stuck in such a mess for so long. A feeling that never seemed possible before. Sometimes touching a wall is just touching a wall and not a cluster**** of thoughts and rules going on in the back (and front) of your mind.
And too bad such research is illegal anyway, eh? 
Not like you can just get a psychologist to help 
I tried Prozac before which had 0 effect on it IMO. The only medicine I need is Psilocyzac

This is what I used to use them for. A less than psychedelic dose would keep me from having cluster headaches for about a month when I first started using them medicinally, but the more I used them the more often I had to use them to stop my headaches. Then I stopped growing mushrooms and had to find something else.
Now I just take a very big dose of caffeine, which makes me feel awful and jittery, but it's been reliably aborting my headaches for about a year now.
I also used to use mushrooms recreationally.
I forgot to add: this poll is broken.
