Too true - I've seen some studies on shrooms as well but the prospect of tripping my face off has kind of got me thinking that it could be a bit daunting, however, I luckily don't suffer with such troubles. I think the headache article was a study done with people who suffer from chronic headaches of which oxycodone was even unable to relieve the pain. In that instance I think shrooms would be a better alternative as oxy has been known to be one of the worst abused painkillers in the States. The benefit of shrooms however is that they apparently do not cause a physical addiction which is super great. Also, I think treating people with shrooms who suffer with issues like end of life anxiety could be quite interesting - would also love to read the article you read if you still have the link.
