Pain sufferer turns to 'shrooms (cluster headaches)

[ovidsen]

Every New Year's Eve and July 4th, Bob Wold brews a tea containing a psychedelic drug from "magic mushrooms."

Wold takes a small dose of the drug psilocybin -- just enough to make sounds more distinct and colors a bit brighter. "I get a couple giggles out of it," he said. "It's like having two or three beers."

But Wold doesn't take "shrooms" for the four-hour high. Rather, he has found that psilocybin is the only drug that prevents one of the most painful conditions known to man, cluster headaches.

4. Does

it prevent the headaches, or does it make it so you don't care? I do not see how psilocybin has any vascular affects nor analgesic affects.
