Magic mushrooms...
 

may ease anxiety of cancer. I heard this story on the news last night and just found a link to it. This study was done at UCLA. Here's a video and a text link if your interested. Just when you think you've heard it all.

Well, that's bit of a duh, isn't it? After all, LSD and 'shrooms are bound to be fun. If they weren't why would people take them? Naturally they make us feel better. If it lessens a cancer patient's anxiety, can be made safe and non-addictive, well then I say go for it!

Of course, I spent my youth in the seventies.....

I can just hear my 2nd Brother's comment on this if I ended up using the 'Magic mushrooms': "You let your breast cancer get worse just so you can take 'drugs'." [He used to blame me for trying to get attention whenever I was ill while I was young - not knowing there's a huge tumor inside my head.]

Why do you think they are called "magic"? I too, grew up in the 70"s and can honestly say, I never felt anxious when I partook of the little fungi that grew in our cow's pasture!
