psychedelic mushrooms seem to be everywhere these days.

Mommies who mushroom are microdosing at the playground.

Couples are literally tripping down the aisle,

showering their guests with psilocybin-laced gummies and chocolate bars.

That's on the illicit side,

but meanwhile, the FDA is close to legalizing psychedelics for mental health treatment.

revolution? Wisconsin Public Radio

It's to the best of our knowledge.

I'm Anne Strain Champs.

The psychedelic revolution in mental health treatment is on the way. FDA approval is likely in just a few years,

which means that before long, the treatment of choice for depression and addiction

could be a hallucinogen, like psilocybin.

These are fractions, so each individual has to be a hallucinogen like psilocybin. In the upper Midwestern heartland of America, a non-profit drug manufacturer is gearing up to synthesize

enough medical-grade hallucinogenic molecules to supply the world.

You have a lot of cool stuff in here. I mean, this is my image of a chemistry lab.

Yeah, it's about as close to a chemistry lab you can get it.

It's great.

Steve Paulson went to see where the magic's made.

So there are a whole bunch of machines and gadgets here.

Tell me what's here.

Sure.
