Hopefully in 5-10 years marijuana will be legal in all Western countries. What I'm wondering about is if society will continue to become more liberal towards drugs, and what would be the next drug in the legalization debate. Personally I think/hope it will be psilocybin mushrooms, commonly called magic mushrooms. Not unlike marijuana, magic mushrooms seem to have incredible medicinal use-cases, especially to treat depression, including the most severe forms that are untreatable by any medication on the market - and without any side-effects. To give you an example, not surprisingly many people with cancer suffer from extreme depression, which means that they can't life the last months/years they have in any meaningful way. Magic mushrooms have the potential to help those people accept their fate and to life dignified the last days they got. Just search for 'magic mushrooms depression', there are tons of articles and evidence is overwhelming. Johns Hopkins University has published a number of studies on magic mushrooms, they are among the very best universities worldwide.
I know that magic mushrooms might not be without risks, especially if consumed by people without any previous experiences who take them for a quick trip. I'm interested to learn what you think. Would you legalize magic mushrooms? Do you see any chances for legalization in the foreseeable future?
