You’ve heard of medical treatments involving the use of marijuana. Now, research is being done in Michigan to see if magic mushrooms can help patients with fibromyalgia.

Researchers at the University of Michigan are looking into the effects of psilocybin, a psychedelic component in magic mushrooms, on pain and other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. The potential benefits of psychedelics in therapy are becoming more accepted in the medical world. The newly-established Michigan Psychedelic Center at U of M hopes to unlock the impacts such treatments might have on brain chemistry, especially in terms of dealing with the brain’s pain centers.

Bridge Michigan reports that In June this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released its first clinical trial guidelines for research into psilocybin, citing risks with the drugs, but also acknowledging their “initial promise as potential treatments for mood, anxiety and substance use disorders.”

Volunteers for further study are being sought.
