When will it be available by prescription?I hope really soon.

Of course it' much more safe combined with psychotherpy, but there are also many people out there, who have great results doing it on their own over years and only from time to time.
It's not allowed to grow mushrooms for themselves.
They are still criminalised.
This has to end too.
