Reply #2: It's interesting that they got permission for this study, yet the gov't [View All]

refuses to give permission for providing patients with marijuana to study medicinal uses of marijuana.

The key difference may be that the active ingredient was synthesized - the participants weren't given the mushroom. In the same way, synthesized THC is allowed to patients, but for some patients, it doesn't work as well as marijuana itself (suggesting the effect is due to something more than or other than THC).
