New species of psychedelic mushroom believed to live in Kakadu National Park
Weâd love to hear what PETA thinks of this ideaâŚ
Alistair McTaggart, a University of Queensland researcher, discovered what he believes is a new species of psychedelic mushroom in one of Australiaâs biggest national parks.
When interviewed on the finding, he brought attention to an âunder-exploredâ use of psilocybin: animal welfare.
“Psilocybin has use in [treating] anxiety in humans, we don’t understand the effects of psilocybin on animals very well, but I think of slaughterhouses and what this could mean for the meat [processing] industry,â McTaggart explains.
Who knows, maybe we’ll start seeing beef advertised as “shroom-fed” đ¤ˇââď¸
