A study taking place in New York is giving doses of psilocybin the active ingredient in what are commonly called "magic mushrooms" to cancer patients to try to help their anxiety.

Not sure how this will work out,my experiences with shrooms made me feel more anxiety than in day to day life.But then again,I dont have a terminal illness.If it helps,go for it.

yea i would say if they were going to trip at all they would want to take it at home. i know i need to be in a really comfy place when im gonna trip.

Perhaps with a psycho therapist as a trip guide you wouldn't experience the anxiety.

But personally i never had anxiety issue on shrooms while in a safe comfortable environment.

Mabey doing them in the woods at night wasnt the best idea in the world..

doing them in the woods at night is the best idea in the world! hhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwllllllllll!

i can see how this would really help a person that doesn't get high to view the world from a newly established viewpoint and break from from preconceived feelings and philosophies

when i do shrooms it's always an eye opening experience that sheds light on things from an angle i've never considered-
i always learn something

They have been studying the use of psychedelics in terminal patients for a while..

I was watching a show similar to this a few months ago on TV. It was about doctors doseing out patients close to death with LSD. I guess the whole idea was it for them to get closer with ones inner self and have a possible connection with "god" before they passed away. Pretty wicked i thought.
