Study: Psilocybin Could Benefit Those Suffering from PTSD, MAGA

No longer just a party drug, the magic in magic mushrooms is being investigated for use as a treatment for a range of psychiatric conditions, from depression and PTSD to MAGA disorder.

Small clinical trials have shown that one or two doses of psilocybin, given in a therapeutic setting, can make dramatic and long-lasting changes in people suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, or the delusion that Donald Trump should be re-elected president.

"When someone's on psilocybin, we see an overall increase in connectivity between areas of the brain that don't normally communicate well. For instance the parts that might inform the other parts that making a demented 78-year-old man who paints his face orange the most powerful person in the world might not be such a good idea," pharmacologist Jared Frasier, a professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Wisconsin, remarked.

Former MAGA devotee Jackson Lockridge testified to the beneficial effects psilocybin had on his own condition.

"Within half an hour of taking my first dose, it was like, the blinders were off. I was watching one of Trump's speeches where he was rambling about sharks and boat batteries, and I was like, 'What was I thinking? I was going to vote for this guy to be President?'"

Other subjects reported experiencing a myriad of revelations many described as "life changing".

"During my first trip I suddenly realized that time is like an orb, and that we are eternally who we have and always will be," one woman described. "It also came to me that Trump's tax, immigration and tariff policies are all inflationary, and that disbanding the Fed and giving this guy the power to control interest rates would be f***ing bat-s*** crazy."
