This invention relates to the extraction of psychoactive compounds from psilocybin fungus for use in medicine. Raw psilocybin fungus is dried and ground. The solvent used for extraction is a lower aliphatic alcohol, water, a hydro-alcohol mixture, an acidic hydro-alcohol mixture, or an alkaline hydro-alcohol mixture. The extraction slurry is filtered and pH-adjusted if necessary. The solvent is then partially evaporated, or completely evaporated with water added back, to form a concentrated slurry. The concentrated slurry is then standardized to provide a known concentration of the psychoactive alkaloids that have been extracted. The standardized slurry may then be dried to result in a powdered psilocybin mushroom extract with a precisely defined purity.

The present invention relates to the discovery that Forskolin can be used to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) in subjects in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the invention provides a method of treating PD, wherein a therapeutically effective amount of Forskolin is administered to a subject via intranasal or intrapulmonary routes. In other embodiments, the subject is further administered a therapeutically effective amount of Noopept. In yet other embodiments, the method reverses damage to the subject's brain caused by PD and promotes growth of new neurons.
