Recent studies have suggested that psilocybin mushrooms, also known as &#8220;magic mushrooms&#8221; have shown promise in combating anxiety, anorexia, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and various forms of substance abuse. Scientists say psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, a rewiring of the brain that gives patients fresh perspectives on longstanding psychiatric problems. Although psilocybin is classified in the U.S. as a Schedule 1 substance, making it illegal by federal law, many municipalities throughout the United States, as well as the state of Colorado have moved to decriminalize it locally. Oregon has legalized the adult use of mushrooms, which currently must be administered within regulated &#8220;psilocybin service centers.&#8221; (Photo by John Moore\/Getty Images)<\/span>  <\/div><figcaption class=\"image__credit\">John Moore\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"related-content__headline\">        <span class=\"related-content__headline-text\" data-editable=\"content.headline\">Poison control calls are rising as more people use psilocybin, study finds<\/span>      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmaog9qhp000g3b6mdvx7bz4z@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Means wrote that psilocybin and other psychedelics have been stigmatized.
