Great to hear. I use psilocybin to treat depression and it works fabulously. Nearly instant relief. Some states and municipalities have decriminalized it here - Oregon, Colorado, and cities like Ann Arbor, Vancouver, Oakland, Santa Cruz, DC,… The FDA is now allowing universities to run clinical trials. Ohio State, Emory University, U of Wisconsin, U of Chicago, NYU Langone, Yale, Johns Hopkins, U of Washington, UC San Fransisco, U of Maryland all have active clinical trials.

There are also some really good studies coming out of the UK (Imperial College, London) and Canada (U of Toronto.)
There are also retreats for treatment in Mexico, a couple of locations in the Caribbean, and some underground clinics in Vancouver that the authorities do not enforce.

There is a lot of evidence that psychedelics have been used by many cultures for centuries. Some for spiritual use and others for medical purposes. African tribes, the Egyptians, the Maya, the Aztecs, Native Americans,…

Easy to grow?
The necessity to maintain a sterile environment makes it challenging. Otherwise pretty easy to grow.

I actually came on here to post about this! I’m hopeful that we will see progress on weed during the current pm’s first two terms. It has now become a human rights issue as far as I’m concerned.

I am enraged at our pickle brained politicians and educated peanuts who talk down to to the common people and tell us they know best…
Alcohol and tobacco are OK according to them,Oh and don’t forget about poker machines destroying peoples lives.
Generational alcoholism destroyed majority of my family.
Cannabis has been crucified by politicians and lobbyist for close to 100 years and all based on lies and propaganda.

It’s actually an international embarrassment. I’ve written to the pm about this with my professional opinion as a social worker. I’m sure he was thrilled.
