Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound in so-called “magic” mushrooms with the power to thrust humans into hallucinatory states if ingested.
Lately, mainstream medicine has caught on to the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin mushrooms as studies show it could help treat patients experiencing psychological distress, such as depression, anxiety, addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
