In the sixties there was more than one study with migraineurs using LSD... our own Kenn was actually involved in one of these.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also, psilocybin has been used in the treatment of OCD (obssessive-compulsive disorder), and others such as bi-polar disorder (manic depression), alcoholism, and narcotics addiction.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you take the time to read through the various posts, especially those explaining the neuropharmacological aspects of the similarities between psilocybin and serotonin (a neurotransmitter), it will make more sense to you as to WHY the hallucinogens work.~~~~~~~~~~~ Hedferst underestimates the number of people who have had success... the number is probably at least double the amount that he mentions... maybe as high as fifty people that have posted their stories, and many more who have e-mailed Flash or I privately who don't want to post in a public forum.~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is NOT a hippy-dippy excuse to get high... it WORKS, and it works better than anything else you will see mentioned on this site or anywhere else.~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pinky
