The U.K.’s Medical Research Foundation has awarded £500,000 (about $800,000) to test psylocibin (extracted from “Magic” mushrooms) as a treatment for depression to Prof. David Nutt, who has called for an “evidence-based” approach to the dangers and medicinal value of drugs such as LSD, cannabis, and MDMA. “One of the things to change in parallel with the trial is the law,” says Prof. Nutt, “otherwise the big problem is if it works, no one will be able to prescribe it.”

Just another biopsychiatrist who believes tinkering with brains, will solve human problems. Note the desperation of biopsychiatry, when its synthesized poisons don’t work, they turn back to the future, to the 1960s.
And note how he’s not calling for the legalization of drugs, just that psychiatrists get the right to decide who should get them and who should not.
Anyone who wants to see the true face of Professor David Nutt needs only to read his powerpoint presentation “psychiatry under threat”:
