"Some people[
who?] have been asking for medical investigation of the use of synthetic and mushroom-derived psilocybin for the development of improved treatments of various mental conditions, including chronic cluster headaches, following numerous anecdotal reports of benefits.
[35] There are also studies which include reports of psilocybin mushrooms sending both
obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) and OCD-related
clinical depression (both being widespread and debilitating
mental healthconditions) into complete remission immediately and for up to months at a time, compared to
current medications which often have both limited efficacy
[36] and frequent undesirable side-effects.
[37] Recent studies done at
Imperial College London and
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine conclude, when used properly,
psilocybin acts as an
antidepressant as suggested by
fMRIbrain scans.

I watched a documentary on a guy who had cluster headaches to the point that he was going to blow his brains out. Somehow he discovered that shrooms held the answer to peace and he started cultivating them and taking them every odd month to avoid getting the suicide threatening headaches. Unfortunatly he was afraid of them and said he hated taking them. He would hide in his bedroom under the covers like a little bitch during their effects.
As for the legality of shrooms, I can't say for 100% legitimacy, but when I lived in Alberta Canada, it was "known" that selling magic mushrooms could lead to a conviction of MANSLAUGHTER (not to be mistaken for man's laughter) if caught dealing them. This kind of kept me out of the loop, and although I would love to personally cultivate them, I am weary of distribution without a 100% answer that I can't get charged with a ridiculous outcome.
