History of Magic mushrooms (Psilocybin)

Magic mushrooms are also called psilocybin. They are a type of fungus that contains the psychoactive substances psilocybin and psilocin. The use of magic mushrooms is an ancient practice with a long history. The earliest evidence of human use of magic mushrooms dates back to the late Stone Age, about 9000 years ago, based on their presence in rock paintings in Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria., where it was used in religious ceremonies and rites of passage. It has been used for spiritual and medicinal purposes for centuries.In 1954, Albert Hofmann discovered the psychoactive properties of psilocybin from the mushroom Psilocybe Mexicana. Since then, research on the medical benefits of psilocybin has been limited due to its legal status in many countries around the world.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms. The most potent are members of the genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from about 30 other genera including Conocybe, Stropharia, and Inocybe.

This has been used for medicinal purposes dates back to at least the 19th century, when European mycologists began experimenting with the effects of mushrooms on animals. There is continuing analysis on psilocybin which can help people overcome severe, treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. However, since 1971, psilocybin is listed as a Schedule 1 illegal drug and restricted from clinical or recreational use since it may have a high possibility for abuse. While Psilocybin stays under prohibitory regulation in Canada.

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that psilocybin may be an effective treatment for depression and anxiety. In a recent study, researchers found that psilocybin was safe and fast acting in treatment-resistant depression patients. With more knowledge about the probable help of psychedelics, especially for problems not well-addressed with presently known medicines, there has been increasing interest and need for magic mushrooms.
