Active ingredient in magic mushrooms could help treat mental health disorders including PTSD

Post by The Aspie Toker »

An active ingredient in magic mushrooms could help treat mental health disorders including PTSD, research suggests.

Scientists say that small doses of the psychedelic drug psilocybin, found in 'magic' mushrooms are not only good at easing disorders resistant to treatment but they also have no short or long-term side effects in healthy people.

Researchers in a study led by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, found that the drug can be given safely in doses of either 10mg or 25mg to up to six patients.
