Petition Legalise and fund research on use of psilocybin mushrooms for medical purposes

I would like the Government to fund research on psilocybin mushrooms and how they can be used by doctors to treat mental health issues such as depression, PTSD, and addictions to alcohol or other harmful drugs.

More details

Magic mushrooms are not addictive in the same way as harmful drugs such as cocaine and I believe that they should be allowed to be medically used by doctors in a safe and controlled way. The Government should legalise their use for medial purposes and fund research into how they can best be used for medical purposes.
