According to research from the University of South Florida, psilocybin, the active component within psychedelic mushrooms, is able to grow new brain cells—potentially offering treatment for mental illness and improving cognition.
Mustang, I've read The Abstract and can't make any sense of it so it must be valid. Maybe you have to do the mushrooms to understand it.
When they're try to scam you, they only use verbiage that libtards can understand. :-)
But people who have done LSD claim it is a mind expanding, mind freeing experience that lasts and only requires several doses. George Carlin claims LSD really cleared things up. Who's to say.
The link says "They are a natural plant that, like marijuana, is banned by the U.S. Government."
Banned? It's legal everywhere, or practically everywhere. I saw a few minutes of a Woodstock documentary and realized how debauched our kids started looking that many years ago..One day, rock groups had short hair and nice jackets and ties, the next day they were really filthy haired, practically naked, doing drugs and having sex in front of everyone...tens of thousands of them.... Now, looking at it, I'm thinking CHina must have been licking its chops. So, as you know, I have a problem with any drugs being legalized....but I have to admit this thing sounds like it could help, given the right administrators, etc. By the way, I had a famous friend named Thelma Moss who was a shrink and specialized in LSD experimentation...Cary Grant was a big time client in that endeavor! I didn't :-)
Well, a technical point but still - the Feds still ban Maryjane even though the states have opened up.
I agree on the hippies. I was around in those days and couldn't understand What the Hell they were going on about. The beads, dressed like bums, etc as you've laid out. According to Yuri, this was communist subversion from the USSR, but sure - China was liking it too no doubt.
Many drugs do have natural sources so what's the diff between a leaf extract sold over the counter, prescription or not, or a mushroom. I read elsewhere it may help with PTSD as well.
Neither the government nor corporations are going to point us to a free product. And of course no one will convince me government does anything for 'my benefit'. If they can't sell it or tax it, you can't have it.
MJ was illegal mainly because you could grow it in your back yard. You could also make booze but few went to the trouble. I think they legalized it in states because it was costing them lots more to enforce it (cops, lawyers, courts, jail) than it was worth by a Long shot.
In total, the war on drugs only made the whole situation worse but that may have been the intention all along. When All drugs were legal in the early 1900's the country was not having problems. Only a small minority would be found in the opium dens and such - who cares and of course, what is different now that it's all illegal. Grand Illusion comes to mind.
I like to think MJ was made illegal because people saw how utterly stupid it made the friends I had who started smoking ...."dude". I can't be the only person who witnessed the change, of course! Their conversation changed! Even when they weren't high.... They just changed..period. And not in attractive ways. Booze didn't do that to anybody I knew. I'm not a prude about pot, not at all, but I didn't know a lot of people who could just smoke and move on......when my friends started smoking, they were just changed...ugh. And that's what Russia was counting on. Voila
Right...but, addicted or not, the friends I knew who smoked pot went DUMB, I hate to say!!! And, ya...maybe....everyone who smokes pot occasionally doesn't go stupid. I just know our whole country suffered from the whole WOodstock mentality....at least a whole generation!
Z, I believe the Woodstock mentality contributed lots of harm to the American way of life that you and I identify with.
I also connect massive college rioting immediately followed by massive drug availability on campus with the government. I think it was their solution to the rioting and protests. Get em all stoned.

I know nothing whatsoever but suggest test subjects do at least 300, fresh, and then kick back and listen to Zut Alors. Or not. No rule. Do some DMT while you're machine elf at it.
But dear Lord, mystic experience? Hey now....
As a veteran of a thousand psychic war I'm against all this tomfoolery.
So who do you believe? We haven't seen the data, and probably wouldn't know what the data was telling us even if we did.

ReplyDeleteCan't argue Z. Some people get addicted to things, others don't. Some things affect people in different ways also. No single answer.

Ah yes. Psilocybin.

LSP, Imagine the entire democrat party on psychedelic drugs though. Then again, it may not be much different than it is now.
