Psilocybin is a natural, organic compound found inside 200 different species of mushrooms. This compound was used in religious rituals ever since 4,000 BC and its origins of human use even date back to 9,000 BC. We know this because psychedelic mushrooms very pretty obviously depicted in several prehistoric rock art drawings, belonging to two different civilizations (one was in Spain and the other in Tassili n’Ajjer, a national park in the Sahara desert).
Psilocybin is a mind-altering compound that is growing in popularity in scientific circles due to its proven ability to help people fight clinical depression, especially for terminally-ill patients. However, even though this compound was first brought to the public light in 1954, when magic mushrooms received the front page of Life magazine, its medical benefits haven't been explored up until recent years.
