As we have reported numerous times in the past, psychedelic mushrooms are becoming increasingly popular in the US as a possible treatment for psychiatric disorders, with their main active ingredient, psilocybin, moving from the fringes of medicine, to become increasingly mainstream. Roland Griffiths, a professor who studies the neuropsychopharmacology of consciousness at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, received approval in 2000 to carry out the first experiments on psilocybin since the 1960s. He found in a survey of early study participants that more than half regarded it as one of the most meaningful experiences of their life. “The mystical experience

Roland /Griffiths is making a redux of Timothy Leary's work with LSD. That sure helped a lot of people.

Cluster headaches are some of the most painful attacks that a human can endure (until he gives up and doesn't endure them anymore). This LDotter has been through more than 30 years of these debilitating episodes, and there is no good cure. Opiates, administered in the ER, are ineffective, numbing the body but not the locus of the pain. After years of research with no answers, there are reports of people getting relief with psychedelics like psilocybin. That's not my style pharmacologically. In college I had some close friends who tripped out on LSD every Saturday while I played cards with them and didn't partake. Once I had decided to join them, my best friend told me not to do it because "you think too much." He meant it would be a bad experience, so I never went that way. Would I try psilocybin to deal with these headaches? I would if it were legal. Nobody can live a good life with these things happening all the time. What does one do when there are no good answers?

Magic mushrooms is the most logical explanation for the current CDC that I have heard lately.

Maybe you should try going to a church to meditate, It will change you and you don't need to worry about your brain turning into a veggie. Funny how people are looking for heaven in all the wrong places.

There's some beneficial affects from almost every illegal drug. The problem is most people don't use them to solve a problem. They just want to get stoned or escape reality.

Apparently free pot isn't enough for the modern flower children. I realize there are a lot of cures and remedies locked up in natural plants but making mind-altering substances available to those who are willing to put most anything into their bodies is not a good idea. They should be required give up their car keys and all sharp objects first.

No doubt you’ve already tried it, but low daily doses of propranolol was the solution to my migraines. They were occasional, though, not clusters like yours.

#3, I have seen a recent ad for a migraine medication. I can't tell you the name of it, because I don't pay attention to most ads.
(slight interruption here - Lucianne is running the two kissing homos on my screen again. Stop it, Lucianne! Please.)
You might want to see an Osteopathic physician. But make sure the physician manipulates - some of them don't. I laughed at the thought of osteopathic medicine for a long time, but had a really painful back, finally went to one, and he fixed it. And as I was about to leave, I told him I had bursitis in my left elbow, had it for months, M.D. injected it with cortisone several different times, but it wouldn't go away.
The Osteopath, then in his 50th year of practice, said, 'sit down.' I sat, he put my left hand between his knees, popped my elbow, and it was cured, and never recurred. I asked how he was able to fix the elbow, and he said, 'the two bones in your arm, ulna and radius, sometimes get out of alignment at the elbow. I realigned them.'

Imbibing psychedelic mushrooms IS a psychiatric disorder.

Maybe he should study the possible relationship between the hallucinogenic drug use of the Boomer generation to the autism/dysphoria/mental illness of the succeeding ones.

Every drug should be legal. Every bona fide doctor should be able to prescribe any drug. Everyone should be free to choose - or fire - his doctor. Every insurer should be allowed to operate in every state. Let the market decide which of the above products and services live or die. Everything else is socialism. Or worse.

I’ve found over the years that alcohol has a similar mind-expanding effect. It allows one to see beauty in others that one might otherwise miss.
Hence the expression, “Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder”.

I saw a big tree lean over and pick up the old man on the cover of jethro tulls aqualung album cover walking home in a wind storm one night on magic mushrooms. No doubt the stuff plays with the mind

Yep, just stay stoned the whole rest of your life. It will be easier for the PuppetMasters to rule the world.
