On: Hallucinogen in ‘magic mushrooms’ might have helpe...

[thefreeman]

Anyone find a link to the actual study? The author basically presents this as:

- take some smokers

- give them therapy for 5 weeks

- dose them up on psilocybin

- hope they stop smoking.

I am guessing there was more to the study then that.

Also the results of the study are never even listed, except for saying that it "worked in most cases".

Honestly, I am all for studying the affects of these drugs but this article is pretty garbage.
