Exciting news today that my collaborators have been granted the first licence in NZ to cultivate Psilocybe ‘magic mushrooms’ for use in helping addiction to methamphetamine. I am proving advice on the mushrooms. #mycology 🧪

I’m all for anything to do with helping addicts. Do you know if they are looking isolate the active components for research, or if the clinical side will look to use the whole shroom? I’m guessing through the invocation of Rongoa Maori that it’s possibly the latter?
The initial trial will be with pure compound, eventually moving to whole mushroom.
This is great news.
Congrats! I’ve heard so many good things about mushrooms, they also seem to treat depression.
Do you know if they’re still looking for people in the trials? :) I’ve done srooms in the past and loved it.
The first trial will only be about 12 people
Congratulations on the licence and best luck to you and your collaborators!!! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds like really important research. A local lawyer told me up to 80% of the crime in my rohe is linked to P in some way. It is a terrible burden on communities.
