OHIO UNIVERSITY GETS DEA PERMIT TO PLANT MAGIC MUSHROOMS
The Ohio State University has become the first U.S. university to obtain a DEA license to grow psychedelic mushrooms. Psychedelic mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms, are a group of mushrooms that contain psilocybin, a chemical that can alter the perception, mood and cognition of people who consume them. Psilocybin has been used for centuries by various indigenous cultures for ritual, religious and therapeutic purposes, but has also been subject to prohibition and stigma in many countries due to its potential to cause adverse effects and dependence.
