Patients unresponsive to conventional treatments benefit when treated
with natural psychoactive compound, but researchers warn against self medication

And that is the real news item.
I wrote:
Since it is hard to quantify the amount of active
chemical in mushrooms fresh or dried getting reliable
dosing would be served by the involvement of professionals
with appropriate skills and experience.
I hope this treatment is available in the in the USA
soon but the DEA will whimper that growing and using
psychedelics for medical treatment will endanger the
children.

And yes I have done that in those far off days of my
youth. I don't use those strong medicines these days
due to my extreme fatigue-ability. Of course in my case
I read lots of books about those strong medicines before
I ever did anything.
And most of that was before the C=64 which
started an addiction nearly as strong as reading which is
likely the worst thing for someone like me. Screen
addiction was not discussed in the time of the C=64.
Now we learn the color of the light keeps us
up at night so I am cutting my time sitting her and typing
by an extra hour in the evening.
Probably when I get back to high mode in my
bipolar cycle I will forget about it. And yeah I have
been bipolar all my life which is why I did the things
I did when I was much younger and those things I did
taught me to give up those things.
Now I am barely out of a psychedelic state
a good deal of the time and with a little Ki breathing
can get back to that state as often as i care to
experience the clarity and pain that it brings.

bliss will try for the 81st year but not very hard.
