James Gallagher reports on a psychedelic renaissance; a new wave of research testing hallucinogenic drugs like magic mushrooms to treat mental health conditions.

There\\u2019s genuine excitement and some early encouraging evidence. A manufacturer tells James that in five years\\u2019 time, it\\u2019s possible that psychedelics could be part of the medicine cabinet \\u2013 but with the hype, there\\u2019s risk too and there\\u2019s much still to learn about who these drugs could help and how.
