Many people may be concerned with the secretion of the drug and how and where it is broken down, but probably not if you are in your euphoric state. The discharge of glucuronidated metabolites, as well as the small portion of psilocybin that wasn’t altered, occurs in the kidneys. Generally after three hours, about 70% of the renal excretion is complete, but this process is also very dependent on the individual’s physical makeup.

Currently psychotherapy and medications including SSRIs are the most common treatment methods, but unfortunately they do not cure the effects of all patients suffering with depression. Nevertheless the new studies have enticing evidence, leading us to believe that there could be a breakthrough in psychedelics, but there are several drawbacks that the United States National Institute of Drug Abuse have concerns with. Some psychedelics, for instance LSD, have lingering effects on users and in some cases can trigger flashbacks. For
