In an extraordinary step forward for the psychedelic drug research community, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just given psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression a Breakthrough Therapy designation. This classification suggests the treatment has demonstrated significant potential in early clinical evidence, allowing the FDA to assist and expedite subsequent development and review processes.

Now that we can order marijuana to be delivered to our houses like pizza in several states, it's only a matter of time until you can order pizza with psychedelic mushrooms on it.

I can try to find the drug I was prescribed during my teen years. I can't remember most of the names of them. I thought it was Depakote but apparently not.

Oh and benzos are even worse.

Xanax (alozopram) is schedule 4 or something ridiculous

*sigh*
Google is giving me shitty results here for psychedelics used as anti-seizure meds. I'd probably just have to pull a medical report from my old doctors. I'm not going to do that.
Edit: some chemical derivitives on this page are promising, but they aren't familiar. https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/professionals/diagnosis-treatment/psychotropic-drugs-developmental-disabilities/comorbid-5

Cool.

I'm very much pro-drug and would love to see us move toward full legalization but shrooms definitely should require some education before people start popping.

There's a reason some varieties are called golden teachers. Not everyone is ready for a powerful psychedelic trip.

So some cross referencing tells me clozapine, Olanzapine, Quetiapine, and Risperidone are all in use already and are hallucinogens.

Those are all antipsychotics and are in no way shape or form recreational.

Wow, thats so amazing. I had both positive and negative experiences on it, the positive one redefined how I led my life in a way, very therapeutic

Yeah its the best I got. Like I said, I don't remember what they put me on.

Nice to see the FDA catching up with what hippies have known for decades

Both weed and shrooms should be completely legalized

Agree with the direction of bringing shrooms to a wider audience audience. Would be more careful with this then weed tho. Weeds worst case is paranoia/ discomfort for a little while. A bad shroom trip can make you feel trapped inside your worst thoughts / emotions for hours. I'd say that can be very traumatic for some.
