The above-cited survey report by the CDC tracks many interesting statistics germane to this article.

I made a few edits to this article today - simplified the lede section and emphasized key points. Also made some changes to improve accuracy and readability of medications section based on current evidence. A number of the Methods sections could still use similar attention.

Last week I tried magic mushrooms, and after it kicked in I didn't feel like smoking anymore. This after 2 years of daily smoking. After it weaned off I still didn't want to smoke. Puzzled, I Googled about and found research that indicates >80% success rate in quitting smoking by shrooms!!! I am surprised that this is not mentioned in this article. Would recommend to anyone who wants to quit smoking (or who likes good times). Google this: "shrooms quit smoking" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.220.233.7 (talk) 01:05, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
