This comment section is more dangerous than poisonous mushrooms!

Don’t use hallucinogenic mushrooms as medicine!

Everyone knows that mushrooms are delicious and can fight zombies (not really).

A recent study by scientists has given it an extra buff: psychedelic mushrooms are expected to become a fast-acting antidepressant.

So, eating red umbrellas doesn't necessarily mean you have to lie down, it can also cure diseases? Using magic to defeat magic, this development is really unexpected.

Can psychedelic mushrooms cure depression?

Netizen: Show it off to me now

Depression affects approximately 322 million patients worldwide. Traditional antidepressants currently on the market usually take several weeks or even months to take effect, and have no effect on one-third of patients with refractory depression.

So, when the news that #psychedelic mushrooms are expected to become a fast-acting antidepressant# came out, netizens from all over the country spread the news and made the topic a hot topic.

According to media reports, scientists have extracted a type of natural hallucinogen - psilocybin - from "magic mushrooms". The results of a phase II clinical study show that psilocybin can greatly improve the symptoms of patients with depression within one day, and the effect can last for more than three months.

The reason why this news attracted attention is that psilocybin is poisonous!

It is a neurotoxin contained in Psilocybin mushrooms (also known as "hallucinogenic mushrooms"). After taking it, people will experience reactions such as auditory and visual hallucinations, sensory confusion, personality disintegration and behavioral disorders. In severe cases, it can cause death.

One netizen said that after his friend took hallucinogenic mushrooms, he saw the set-top box at home look like wheat waves in the wind. Another netizen said that little people dancing hand in hand appeared in front of him.

The words of the police uncle that he sang until his lips were hoarse, "Red umbrellas, white poles, let's lie down on the board together after eating," are still echoing in my ears. As soon as this news came out, a large number of netizens said: Put the hallucinogenic mushrooms in my mouth right now!

Stop, stop, this is not a sugar tangerine, you can't eat it randomly!

Xiaoxin thinks that this comment section is more poisonous than poisonous mushrooms. Not only are you not afraid, but you seem to be looking forward to it? Some people even asked, wouldn’t ordinary people be happy all day after eating it?

Warning! Eating hallucinogenic mushrooms is a disguised drug use

Lying on the board, warning! Lying on the board, warning! Lying on the board, warning! The above comments are all dangerous remarks!

Experiencing "poisonous mushroom hallucinations" may really make you die. Because there is no specific treatment for poisonous mushroom poisoning, and the symptoms of poisoning are severe, the onset is rapid, and the mortality rate is high. Mushroom poisoning is not fun at all, don't joke with your life!

More importantly, in my country, psilocybin mushrooms (hallucinogenic mushrooms) are listed as new drugs. In other words, eating psilocybin mushrooms is equivalent to taking drugs in disguise. And any act of selling or buying psilocybin mushrooms online is illegal.

It is understandable that everyone hopes that a specific drug for treating depression will be available as soon as possible, but we must not make dangerous attempts out of curiosity and eagerness.

Scientists are also working hard. The good news is that, through further research and design, the scientific research team has found that the hallucinogenic effect and therapeutic effect of hallucinogens can be separated; and a new generation of antidepressant compounds with no hallucinogenic effect and fast onset have been found.

BUT!!! Scientists also said that compounds are not equivalent to drugs, and a lot of experimental verification is needed. At present, it is only "hopeful" that they can be made into fast-acting antidepressant drugs.

In short, my friends, don't use hallucinogenic mushrooms as medicine!
