    We all know psychedelics, especially psilocybin is great for various health-related problems. There has been extensive research on the topic of these shrooms.

    When (if at all) can we expect it to be legalized in the US or EU? I had no idea it could extend cellular lifespan, that is amazing.

    I have a feeling though that Big Pharma is going to want to keep it off the market so they can synthesize their own whatnots and make a medication out of it and then sell for a high price. They are doing the same with Kratom.

      Would start with a single (member) state legalising it [1].
