Great to see some main stream media on this. I am almost sixty - despite my having been on this and the old board for about 15 years I am still listed as a Newbie !

Maybe bc I don't post much. I feel a fair weather friend as for the last few years ( I cycle 8 weeks in spring through July) I have been ale to get and ingest Mushrooms. This totally organic soluton has been 100% effective for me. Why doesn't every body try it. Is it bc they are hard to come by?  I am really realy curious. Most of us would do anything. This is an organic and effective tretment to end our cycles. Any ideas why - even in clusterland - there is rsistence to using this methd?

For me, this is the problem.  I have looked ever since finding this as a possibility for relief with no luck.  Now, I believe I am finally done with my latest cycle, but I would like to have them in preperation for the next.  I wish I could just ask openly here, but it is just not realistic with the law being what it is.  I know there are other ways to go about it, but I have to be careful in protecting my family/job.  It is what it is until the laws are changed.  For now, I will just be thankful to be pain free.

Pf wishes to every one

awesome article!!!!  The only that that discourages me is how long of a battle marajauna had for the people who needed it.  This less excepted "drug" could take longer.  I'm 33 and wonder if it will ever be legalized in my life time!!!

The biggest problem medical marijuana has, IMHO, is the fight for legalization. They are both tied to each other, like an anchor on a boat.

We (Clusterbusters) are in no way advocating legalization in any form other than as a prescription drug.
Do you know you can get a prescription for cocaine? It had medical uses before it was made illegal (to the general public). I had it prescribed to me for my clusters, years ago.
We have a slightly different set of circumstances. We need to prove the medical use first.

I have always held the view that fighting for legalization would do nothing but slow down considerably, the eventual availability of psychedelics for prescription use.

Who knows, it may take another 40 years. Hopefully not. Had someone started the process 40 years ago.....

Haven't tried the clusterbustermethod (wasn't even aware such a thing existed 2 months ago), though I have used shrooms on a recreational base in the past, the last time many many moons ago.
As some of you might know, they are sold in specialized smartshops here in the Netherlands. But for how long? Politicians are pressing for a prohibition, after several tourists in Amsterdam couldn't handle them and caused harm to themselves or others.
Anyway, my question is, do they have to be pure or may they be processed in for example a chocolate bar?

Chocolate bars do work well, although it is sometimes more difficult to accurately gauge the dose, especially if they are pre-made by someone else.  Time of action with psili chocs can be delayed too, so be careful.  Don't be tempted to think it isn't working after an hour or so, and then take another one!

Fresh or dried psilocybe mushrooms prepared in a tea usually works very well and you can more accurately measure the dose (assuming you know the strain).  This preparation is illegal in most countries though including, I believe, the Netherlands.
