O substanță de care medicina și legea s-au ferit e susținută de unii medici pentru pacienții cu boli grave. „Medicina a dezvoltat numeroase instrumente pentru a combate durerea, dar puține pentru a cultiva sensul sau pacea interioară”

The discussion around psilocybin, a psychedelic substance from "magic mushrooms," is gaining traction in the U.S. for alleviating psychological suffering in terminal patients. Medical professionals are exploring its potential to provide not just pain relief but also a sense of peace and meaning in the face of death. Research indicates that psilocybin may reduce anxiety and despair in patients with severe illnesses. While the FDA is considering its legal use in hospitals, psilocybin remains illegal in Romania, where it is classified as a high-risk drug. Experts emphasize the need for a broader approach in medicine that addresses existential suffering, not just physical symptoms.
