Today, the results of the first study of the therapeutic use of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in humans in over 40 years were published online in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. Sponsored by the non-profit Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), the double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study in 12 subjects found statistically significant reductions in anxiety associated with advanced stage illness following two LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions. The results also indicate that LSD-assisted psychotherapy can be safely administered in these subjects, and justify further research.

I think LSD/shrooms could have a lot of uses in medicine.

Black Box.. TV show.

I think LSD/shrooms could have a lot of uses in medicine.

The show Black Box had an episode where a man was going to die and he was administered psylicilum mushrooms to ease his anxiety reguarding his own immortality. It was great to see that on free TV.
