Description: Psilocybin, a prodrug for psilocin, appears to have detectable effects on brain activity the day after an experience in those with treatment-resistant depression. There's a rise in functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN) and a decline in functional connectivity between the parahippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

Drugs are never going to leave our society and there has never been a society free from drugs. Therefore, it only makes sense to provide real education free from propaganda. TDC doesn't advocate drug use. Rather, we operate with the intention of reducing the harm some substances can bring. Feel free to ask questions!
