A survey of hallucinogenic mushroom use, factors related to
usage, and perceptions of use among college students.
We surveyed 882 randomly selected undergraduates at Skidmore College in upstate New York and quantified whether participants had ever used psilocybin mushrooms, their attitudes toward the drug, and polydrug use. There were 409 responses and 29.5% of the sample reported psilocybin use. Among users, the mean number of times they reported using mushrooms was 3.4 (mode=1).

A follow-up to this post is from an article published in College Times on March 9 2015. This helps to verify the rather broad interest in psilocybin amongst college students.
Psilocybin – The “Magic” in the Mushroom
About College Times.
PTSD results from exposure to events that involve the threat of death or loss of psychological integrity. Mindfulness is an attentive awareness of the reality of things, especially the present moment and is increasingly practiced in psychology to alleviate a variety of mental and physical conditions. Psilocybin decreases activity in the brain that provides our sense of separateness, helping to remove the optical delusion that we are individuals struggling alone in the universe.
Einstein Quote
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein - (1879-1955)
Psilocybin should only be taken with a spiritual mindset in a supportive environment.
