Hallucinogens as Medicine (vídeo com excelente resumo das últimas pesquisas sobre psilocibina)

[Dr_Seuss]

Olá Pessoal,

Não sei se é a área adequada do forum, mas creio que esse video resume bem as recentes pesquisas sobre a psilocibina.
O scishow é um ótimo canal do youtube sobre ciência. Vejam o vídeo:

OBS.: CONTEÚDO SOMENTE EM INGLÊS.

Resumo:

Is it possible that, because of the war on drugs, we have demonized a treatment for otherwise untreatable diseases? A way to increase personal well-being, permanently treat depression, break the cycle of addiction, and ease the transition from life into death? The solution to all of these problems (for many people) might be a nice, hallucinogenic trip, but taking that trip can be harder than you might think.
