A collaboration between 34 researchers at 18 institutions has looked into the efficacy and safety of psilocybin in patients with major depressive disorder.
Unless you live in a state/country where there are clinical trials/treatment options, youre basically left with 3 options. 1. Foraging, psilocybin shrooms are everywhere (unsafe unless you’re very confident in your findings) 2. Order online (still unsafe but less chance of accidental poisoning, also runs the risk of law enforcement) or 3. That guy from highschool still probably knows someone that can hook you up.
Mushrooms are 100% legal in Jamaica. They were never illegal (as weed is). So the government actually has special business licenses for people who sell them, to promote tourism.
Huh, interesting. I wonder if there are mushroom retreats/‘resorts’ (for lack of a better term, what I’m thinking would be pretty small). If it was 100% legal this seems like a no brainer, and a good opportunity for psychedelic therapists to practice (similar, in some ways, to people going to Mexico for medical procedures, but addressing a different access problem).
I’ll need to look it up myself - I have a hard time trusting social media posts that say mushrooms are no-strings legal (I see a lot of folks saying this about Canada, which is just straight-up false - if you’re part of a clinical trial or your doctor filled out a LOT of paperwork, sure, but despite being open those mushroom dispensaries and clear web services are still 100% illegal). But if true, I’d be curious to see how that’s taken advantage of from a business and therapeutic point of view.
Edit: Does appear to be a thing. Wish I had a better source, but this is published on the Jamaica Information Service, which appears to be a government operated thing (look at the sidebar under Corporate for more details): https://jis.gov.jm/protocols-in-place-for-magic-mushrooms/
