Works for mine. I need to take a heroic dose (5 gr) and then it lasts about 3 months before I need to again.
Isn't that what the parent post said? Works temporarily but doesn't last?
I'd have assumed it meant a tolerance would kick in after a few rounds.
1 reset day out of every 100 does sound achievable/possible even with clinical administration, but needing it every 3 days wouldn't be.

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.
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…
>New study finds psilocybin greatly and quickly relieves depression Nope, it doesn't. The study wasn't placebo controlled. The placebo effect will have a large effect in a study like this, so we have no idea what effect the psilocybin had.

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

Consider normal SSRIs where you feel like crap for a month, try N more (which could mean many more months) until you find one that suits you, then have side-effects, then try to get off them so that's another couple of months of misery.
That's countless doses, money, time spent in misery vs one day of mushrooms every 3 months.
Normal psych meds are to be avoided at all costs and only be used if absolutely necessary, after you have tried everything else; atleast in my opinion.

Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 24 participants with major depressive disorder, participants who received immediate psilocybin-assisted therapy compared with delayed treatment showed improvement in blinded clinician rater–assessed depression severity and in self-reported secondary outcomes through the 1-month follow-up.
Meaning This randomized clinical trial found that psilocybin-assisted therapy was efficacious in producing large, rapid, and sustained antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder.

Considering there's no evidence it's toxic and you can do it every month because that's how long it takes for your tolerance to wear off, 3 months is a lot of time.

Psilocybin is an intense acute experience. People can have negative effects. I hope we do studies to find how to use it most safely, or isolate the beneficial aspect without the intoxicating effects.
