Girls With The Mostest

Call it a 'shroom with a view: Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that people who took psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms, ranked the experience as one of the most meaningful experiences in their life. This is the first detailed examination of the psychological impact of psilocybin since the late 1960s, when hallucinogens came under regulatory scrutiny.

Roland Griffiths and his colleagues worked with 36 subjects who had never taken hallucinogens before, but all reported at least intermittent participation in religious or spiritual activities such as church services, prayer, or meditation. In two or three 8-hour sessions, with two months in between each session, the volunteers were given either psilocybin or Ritalin. Seven hours later, and again months afterward, they completed questionnaires about their experience. More than 60 percent of the subjects who received psilocybin had what they described as a "complete mystical experience." Only 11 percent of the placebo group did. Two months later, 71 percent recalled it as one of the five most spiritually significant events in their lives.

Griffiths and a growing number of researchers believe that psilocybin may yield further benefits for the treatment of depression and anxiety. At the same time, he strongly advises against recreational use of the drug. "The risks are substantial," he says. Taking 'shrooms "can precipitate an enduring psychological illness such as schizophrenia. It can lead to panic, fear, paranoia, and, as a consequence, dangerous behaviors."

Once, a loooooong time ago (seriously, it was easily 8 years ago) I ate some shrooms. I didn't have any "mystical experiences"....but I did manage to spend half of the next morning hurling my guts out at the Waffle House. Blech.

First and last experience with hallucenogenic fungii
