#2+ With (exceptionally) long term, positive effects when coupled with therapy before, during, and after strong psychedelic trips.
Ultimately, the research results (and anecdotal evidence) for psilocybin are too great to ignore. The next question is - How does it get legalized (which we're seeing the stirrings of) and who gets access to it and how when it is?

#3As someone with major depression, it helps temporarily but doesn’t last.

Just passed in Oregon: Oregon Measure 109. Legalize Psilocybin
Permits licensed service providers to administer psilocybin-producing mushroom and fungi products to individuals 21 years of age or older.

#5I'm curious if we have insights into whether psychedelics' mental health effects work by changing something by a direct chemical interaction, or if they work by just encouraging the patient to rewire their own brain while tripping. If e.g. you administered psychedelics on someone in an induced coma, would you see the same benefit?

Here's my issue with that:
Who are the service providers of the treatment and what training have they taken to do so? There is some available through folks who did original research (eg: John Hopkins) and now do talk and demo circuits but otherwise it's all largely undefined.
I'm paranoid of what this might lead to without strong community standards and ethics. A good first step, but lets hope it doesn't ruin it for others.

No individual therapy lasted to cure my major depression, including mushrooms. It was a combination of therapies.

I believe they are taking two years to settle these questions

Does it last long enough that you get a period of normal functioning?

Works for mine. I need to take a heroic dose (5 gr) and then it lasts about 3 months before I need to again.
