Default Potential future drug for PCS?

I came across an interesting research and a clinical trial about magic mushroom drug. This is for folks who suffer long term, has visual and auditory stimulation issues, terrible stress and anger issues and where no drugs has not helped. This drug not for straight PCS but to address depression, PTSD etc., We all know the deal with medicines and PCS.

This potential drug addresses some major issues which PCS sufferers go through on a daily basis.

For e.g.

1. the brain must act as a “reducing valve” on the flood of potentially overwhelming sights, sounds and sensations

2. many of the human brain’s highest achievements involve preventing actions instead of initiating them, and sifting out useless information rather than collecting and presenting it for conscious consideration.

Claim is Psilocybin (the drug contained in magic mushrooms) cuts activity in these nodes and severs their connection to other brain areas, allowing the senses to run free.

We don't know when this drug becomes available if at all, side effects etc., We can achieve the same effect by Meditation which I am doing it daily but let us face it, it is tough to reach that stage without some serious practice may be under Himalayas Also for someone who has a strong brain it is rather easy than someone who has a compromised brain.

I talked to someone who did mushroom in the past and he said he completely felt the way described in the article.

"This sense of being at one with the universe, losing one’s “selfish” sense and vantage point, and feeling the connectedness of all beings often brings profound peace"

Folks, please don't go look for magic mushrooms since it is illegal, dangerous and not easily available.

This is just a hope message for terrible sufferers who thought all the doors were closed.

Peace out.
