Mental Health Experts Wan Against Unregulated Psilocybin Use
The increasing recreational use of psilocybin, commonly found in magic mushrooms, has alarmed experts who warn of significant mental health risks, including anxiety, trauma, and hallucinations.

Specialized clinics in Europe and the UK are emerging to address these challenges, emphasizing the need for better education and support for both users and healthcare providers.
“There has been an increase in problems related to psilocybin and other classic psychedelics, most likely due to the growing popularity and often overenthusiastic portrayal of these substances in the media and, in some cases, in scientific discourse.”
