## Man amputates penis with an axe after consuming psilocybin mushrooms

Authored by psypost.org

After consuming a large quantity of magic mushrooms, a 37-year-old man suffering from depression and alcohol abuse severed his penis with an axe.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms, often referred to as “magic mushrooms.”

The use of psilocybin has a long history, dating back to ancient cultures that used it for religious or spiritual purposes.

In addition to its therapeutic potential, psilocybin is of interest to neuroscientists for what it reveals about the brain’s inner workings.

However, while psilocybin has shown promise in clinical settings, its use outside of these controlled environments can lead to dangerous outcomes.

The man, who had a history of depression and alcohol abuse, ingested four or five dried psilocybin mushrooms while staying alone in a secluded vacation home.

Not long after consuming the mushrooms, the man began to experience a terrifying hallucination or delusion, which led him to take an axe and sever his penis into multiple pieces. »
