Re: Study finds ‘magic mushrooms’ may improve personality long-term

But known poisons like oleander cure cancer?  Fox glove gives you a boost?  (If it doesn't kill you first, which it has done.)

I've got a book by an individual who along with several friends ate shrooms by the bucket full and never experienced anything besides a psychedelic trip.  What the John Hopkins research study has shown is that ONE shot of psilocybin (as in a single shroom trip) in a clinical setting had a better than 50% chance of mood enhancement that lasts for at least fourteen months.  Show me any other herb (or pharma poison) than even begins to provide that kind of benefit.

However, a daily commitment to meditation does the same thing and even much, much more but Americans would rather take a pill or herb to cure their ills - makes no difference if its allopathic or alternative.  

You and everyone else on the Planet are an eternal spirit - and not your body.  The psychedelics of the 60's introduced many Americans to that awareness - something that Easterners have known for thousands of years, and also introduced many thousands to the benefits of meditation which science has also found to be a significant healer on both a spiritual level as well as a body level.
