What are some medical uses for hallucinogens?

Answer 1

Legally, there is currently no acceptable medical use for hallucinogens.

Hallucinogens though have a long history of being used by tribal shamans and curanderos around the world to cure people by taking them on trips to meet the reason of their sickness, and confront it. They offer a metaphysical healing for a physical disease. Science can't accept that yet though. Hallucinogens are still a mystery to humanity.

Answer 2

Honestly, there really aren't medical uses for hallucinogens. Psilocybin Mushrooms (Magic Mushrooms, 'Shrooms' etc.) used to be use to treat chronic cluster headaches, OCD, and even depression, but that stopped because the mushrooms have severe side effects. LSD was used for similar reasons, and PCP was actually used as an anesthetic during surgeries in World War II. Again though, both of the drugs had side effects that outweighed their benefits, so they were discontinued.

Answer 3

scientists are stil researching it but hallucinogens such as LSD Acid shrooms may be helpfull in treating psychological illnesses such as OCD and Depression. LSDs were often used a long time ago before their disadvantages overrulled their advantages. for the advantages that LSDs have there are way more Disadvantages. the side effects are way worse than what the drug actually cured therefore it is not used to medical purposes by legal doctors
