There is something of a, uh, ahem, buzz around the blog world about this:

Study: Psilocybin Relieves OCD Symptoms, Psilocybin Study Notes Effectiveness in Relieving Symptoms of People Suffering From Disorder - CBS News

They mention a remarkable reduction/cessation of OCD symptoms for a short period of time.

That’s very cool. Since it appears that most, if not all, the subjects experienced the same result it is probably more then just being high. It seems likely to me the ’shrooms interact in the brain areas that are responsible for our misfiring wiring. I would hope that they continue this study using low doses below the threshold for hallucinogenic experiences (gettin’ high). If that pans out and one can get around draconian drug laws we may have something really good to look forward to.

Here’s hoping
