Psilocybin is a mushroom which provides nutrients to plants and animals which are suffering from injury or lack of energy. They have helped trees and other things grow since the beginning of earth. Similar healing effects can be easily noticed in humans for cluster headaches, injuries, diseases, etc.

What did people use LSD for?

It was created as a circulatory and respiratory stimulant. The "classic" hallucinogens, such as LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in "magic" mushrooms), also affect the serotonin and dopamine systems in the brain. LSD causes hallucinations, commonly known as a "trip". Researchers believe that it may be useful in treating severe headaches known as cluster headaches. These usually centre around one side of the head, and can occur several times a day for weeks, before stopping for long stretches of up to several months. Scientists believe that these can be treated with a sub-hallucinogenic dose of LSD, which does not cause the wild visual distortions associated with larger doses. How can a hallucinogen prevent a type of headache? They have a similar chemical structure to serotonin and exert their effects by binding to some of the same receptors as serotonin, a property that is exploited by some mainstream migraine drugs, such as sumatriptan (Imigran) and methysergide. Andrew Sewell and John Halpern, of McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School, conducted interviews confirming that LSD and psilocybin were both more effective than conventional drugs at stopping a new cycle of headaches, and that psilocybin was the best drug of all to abort an attack. Halpern is developing full clinical trials. Studies are also under way in Switzerland and the US using LSD or psilocybin as a palliative care agent for patients with anxieties associated with terminal cancerbecause it is (relatively) safe, non-addictive, and an amazing experience.

Is it true that the psilocybin mushrooms can make you go insane after large and repeated intakes of them?

Psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. A more danger is that poisonous (sometimes lethal) wild picked mushrooms can be easily mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms, but true psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic. Magic mushrooms contain psilocin and psilocybin psilocybin. These compounds are psychedelics. They will cause an effect similar to a "trip" on LSD. Loss of reality may be experienced and severe anxiety and paranoia can occur. You may experience a bad trip.
