FDA approves mushrooms for clinical treatments

Who'd have think it?  First legal weed, now mushrooms making their way into the local pharmacy....

Your tax dollars at work:

"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will allow a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of the hallucinogenic compound found in magic mushrooms – psilocybin – as a treatment for depression. Previous research has suggested that psilocybin can ease the symptoms of chronic depression in patients who have been resistant to other forms of treatment.

COMPASS Pathways has been given the approval by the FDA to proceed with an ongoing psilocybin therapy trial. The company was founded in 2016 with a goal of giving mental health patients faster access to evidence-based, innovative therapies."
