đPsychedelic Mushrooms Can Regrow Brain Tissue Lost in Depression: Weâre in many ways at the beginning of the equivalent of a space race but for psychedelics. Study after study shows dramatic positive effects from the consumption of psychedelic mushrooms. A recent study shows the potential for psilocybinâ an active component of psychedelic mushroomsâ to restore brain tissue in the depressed. The resurgence in popularity of psychedelics may be evidence of a world in which we are increasingly susceptible to stress despite ever-increasing prosperity. People are seeking new ways to experience a world that has in many ways dulled their senses. (584 words)

This fact can often reveal itself in malicious as well as beneficial ways.
