Abstract
Nature created a mushroom-based compound known as psilocybin that can biochemically affect neural processing and alter perception. Although psilocybin usage dates to ancient times, its contemporary usefulness is expanding. Discovering the history and imagining the future of psilocybin is enlightening and fascinating. This review presents research and opinions on the potential benefits and hazards of psilocybin usage.
