Been following this stuff very closely as well since I suffer from PTSD and other ailments. These studies on mushrooms show very positive effects for people in my situation. I'd love to be able to get off my meds. Even that in itself would be worth its weight it gold to me. All the other positive effects (melting of the ego, dealing with the death, just being a better person) would be just icing on the cake. Interesting to see how fast mainstream this is becoming.
Also, can't say from experience but weed = / = mushrooms at all. That's like saying being drunk is just like being on morphine, you're intoxicated but that's about where the similarities end.
