This glowing report — based on a single dose of a naturally occurring, non-addictive, low-toxicity substance — sounds impossible. Surely one pill can’t succeed where months of traditional psychotherapy and antidepressants usually fail. According to science, that’s not how drugs work. It’s foreign to the model.
Really? Have people consumed so much lack of common sense kool-aid that they believe humans know better than the Earth? From a purely birkenstockian point of view, it should be obvious that these naturally occurring things are there to help us. Why else would endless species of plants/fungi/etc. happen to be hanging out at our feet?
The mistake we've made is that we're too skeptical. Instead of believing in what's right in front of us, we choose synthesized drugs and the ideals of people no more keyed into existence than you or I.
Be aware of what's around you and learn about why most of what they say is harmful or "illegal" isn't and shouldn't be. Start with marijuana.
The Earth is not an intelligent agent. The Earth doesn't "know" anything. Also, plenty of plants have evolved to be poisonous to prevent animals (including humans) from eating them, so you can't just blindly go around eating any mushroom or berry you find in nature. Natural does not always mean "good for you".

Of course it doesn't. That's not what I was suggesting. Rather, when people are told that something is illegal or cannot help them, for them to conduct research into it independently. Even better, seek out studies like the one mentioned in this article and participate in them.
Concerning the Earth as an intelligent agent, can we be so sure? It's been around for an awfully long time to not know a thing or two.
