Background (Preamble):
There are a plethora of mental and physical disorders that effect millions of americans today that could possibly be solved, if we only push research in the direction of one drug; Psilocybin. Forgetting the connotation of drug culture and hippies, Psilocybin has many redeeming qualities, if taken in moderate doses.
Some of the problems that this drug shows promise of curing are: Depression, Multiple Sclerosis, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Migraines, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, not to mention the things we may discover on the way. In the '60's, there was research done with Psilocybin, but it was done almost exclusively in high-doses. Low-level therapy with the drug may yield better results than previous research.

Petition:
We, the Undersigned, request that the National Government turn its research into disorders; Depression, Multiple Sclerosis, High Blood-Pressure, Migraines, & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder toward a solution involving low-level Psilocybin therapy.
