Oregon launches legal psilocybin access amid high demand and hopes for improved mental health care

Psilocybin tea, wind chimes and a tie-dye mattress await those coming to an office suite in Eugene to trip on psychedelic mushrooms. For roughly six hours, adults over 21 can experience what many users describe as vivid geometric shapes, a loss of identity and a oneness with the universe.

Epic Healing Eugene — America’s first licensed psilocybin service center — opened in June, marking Oregon's unprecedented step in offering the mind-bending drug to the public. The center now has a waitlist of more than 3,000 names, including people with depression, PTSD or end-of-life dread.

No prescription or referral is needed, but proponents hope Oregon's legalization will spark a revolution in mental health care.

yeah i'm not sure if i should trust hallucinogens for my mental care. "soma" for the goy?

Some of the other insights can range from developing agoraphobia to no longer being able to do math.

Nobody that has done shrooms would ever say that you can't do math anymore

The only good thing Oregon has ever done.

At best, restores one's love for life. At worst, forces bad people to see how bad they are and feel horrible about it.

If that drug has any positive benefits that can out weight costs when used in moderation, I promise that the liberals will manage to completely abuse it anyway.

When in doubt a drug is probably more harm than good. But any drug is always harmful when taken by someone with self-abusive tendencies, which is all of Oregon.

I've read similar claims about the clinical use of Ketamine to treat multiple mental health issues.

Both need some type of structured approach to their use though. It isn't just a matter of simply dosing the person with the drug.

Considering how many crazies they already have destroying everything, adding mushrooms to the mix is gonna make for some entertaining news articles. If they even report on it.

Brain control!
They get you tripping balls and the subliminal tunes start playing.
Rock and Roll never forgets.
Legal pot heads defend as medicine like faggotts get a whole month to suck a dick.
Same mental derangement
