Lsd being studied again after half a century!

http://psychedelicfrontier.com/maps-...y-in-40-years/

Im happy a small group has taken a small step into opening a HUGE door!

 

It's good stuff, I'm reposting this on behalf of Gendorf who first turned me onto this study..

Some Mainstream Media

^Abstract

 

It is interesting, but I must ask myself and you others here, just what do we think it will mean to us on a personal level.
I seriously doubt the legal status of LSD will change any time soon if ever.
The only remotely plausible end result to us would be if LSD began to be produced in any quantity by a pharmaceutical company, then we might have a chance of seeing it on the street, but I have my doubts.
It just is necessary to produce LSD in the quantities like Sandoz did.
Sandoz was selling the shit by the kilo so lots made it's way to the street, but we will NEVER see that again.

I'm not trying to be negative about it, just realistic. These studies have been going on the entire time. This particular one is an extension of work Doblin has already been doing for well over a decade with mushrooms and terminal patients.
Studies with LSD have also been ongoing over the last 40 years.
The thing that sets this apart is it is the first officially sanctioned study with LSD using human subjects that (here is the important part) seeks to find positive results rather than negative.

There have been lots of studies done with LSD since it was declared illegal, many with humans (late '60's=early '70's) but in order to get official approval, the study had to be about negative effects otherwise it simply got shit canned.

All in all it is a good thing and the time is right for a re-examination of these substances, both scientifically and socially.

Hopefully we can discover some new and powerful positive uses for these substances, ya know, like have been reported by countless "primitive people" for eons.

 

Im not naive enough to think "Yeah BUD, There gunna test it! There gonna like it! There gunna make IT LEGAL again!"

Im just thinking i personally have a lot of views and ideas from opening my mind that majority of people with a close minded view dont exactly understand if i try to discuss them in simple conversation. Through the study of lsd i believe results can be a contributing factor to the opening of minds across that world that were already dead set on, "Its a powerful hallucinogenic drug that makes you see purple dinosaurs, or spiders crawling on your skin, think you can fly off building, turns you into a psychotic nut for 12 hours, bad trips, freakouts, etc."

Legal someday maybe, highly doubt it in my lifetime. Throughout the last 1000 years.. Every century the world is a VERY different place. Im just happy politics has allowed for the reintroduction of psychedelics from "forbidden science," just because its something they didn't understand or know how to control. I'm sure there have always been tests on LSD secretly by various organizations around the world, but now public groups are once again being allowed to conduct legitimate non biased tests.

Mark my words man, I believe in my generation. I believe were going to accomplish great things, were going to once again show the world that being different isn't necessarily a bad thing. Were not going to get jobs get married pay taxes have kids teach them to do the same thing. Were all searchers man, searching for what else is out there, other journeys humans can travel on this earth.

I mean honestly 10-20 years ago. Did you think youde be sittin here in 2014 with marijuana being completely legal in 2 states, legal for medicinal use in 20 with majority of the other states following in behind?

The universe is a struggle between good and evil, light and dark, yin and yang. Its about time the light shined through brother. Albert Hoffman invented lsd in 1938. He didnt even touch it again until 1943! Then it exploded in the 1960s! It will make a comeback once again when its ready...

Hunter S. Thompson — 'Jesus man! You don't look for acid! Acid finds you when *it* thinks you're ready

 

Finally the world is coming to its senses again....maybe now we can start making some real progress by opening doors instead of locking the door and throwing away the key.

Abolish the war on drugs (which is THE most epic fail ever)... it's not helping anyone, it only hurting lots and lots of people!

 

Did I say that? I was simply voicing my opinion and said nothing concerning your naivete' about it.

uhhmmm, ok.
psychedelics have been researched "above board" for many decades now, actually never really stopped. As I pointed out the difference being that from 1966 to about the mid '80's any and all research conducted in the U.S. or any nations blackmailed into accepting the U.S. drug laws and oversight concerning marijuana, mushrooms, LSD and other psychedelics substances HAD to be about finding negative effects. If the proposal didn't, it literally was thrown out by the FDA, AMA, and DEA.

In the early-mid 1980's MDA & MMDMA began to be used and talked about openly in therapeutic settings. It's use began in covert therapy sessions in the late 1970's and so much success was had that word soon spread throughout the psychiatric world. I believe it was pair of marriage counselors who first introduced it to friends as a "love drug" for recreational usage, but I could be wrong.
But it was given legitimate study before it escaped into the wild and became the drug of choice in the '90's. Then the hammer came down on it.

Rick Doblin, as I mentioned, has done a couple of other studies with psilocybin with terminal,near death patients well over a decade ago.
There have also bee legitimate studies done with DMT along the same lines with terminally ill patients.

Iboga root is phenomenal in treating opiate addiction and is legal in other countries.

This is unique as it is the first legitimate study with LSD on humans with the emphasis on positive rather than negative effects

please don't take this the wrong way, not the first time I've heard that, actually hear it about every 25 years or so. :afro:


ya know, you just might learn a thing or two from us old fucks who have 3-4 decades of experience with these substances instead of always acting as if you are being challenged to a duel.

 

Actually it was legal for a few months in 1966 after Timothy Leary challenged the then illegal tax act imposed on marijuana before the supreme court. Leary won, pot was legal in the U.S. for almost 3 months.

Then in I think 1976-77 with many states having already decriminalized possession and one or two talking legalization, Jimmy Carter was two pussy hairs away from making it decriminalized across the nation, but then some fuck head who's name I can't remember that was part of his staff got into a big shit storm over painkillers or something and they didn't want to risk even more bad PR by "approving" of marijuana.

So yeah, I have honestly been expecting it for almost 40 years. :mickey:

 

Getting married, having kids, and paying taxes is pretty good, actually. I like sex, roads, clean water, pensions, and health care.

 

can't rep you again, but :2thumbsup:

 

Lol tbh guys im just stoned n started rambling there :gossip:

 

Awe man i feels but most people these days believe in sex before marriage =P and your paying for all of these ide hope you like them =P

 

But not many believe childbirth before sex.

Actually, now that I think about it, I suppose a lot of christians actually do...

 

I can't understand how someone could marry someone (a commitment for life) without ever having had sex with the person?

 

Not just that, but without living with the person either! Seems insane to me.

 

Man i cant even understand why someone would ever commit for life. I believe its complete ignorance and arrogance.

This may be different for some people but personally im a very evolving person. I know in 10 years im going to be A LOT different, and i don't expect that to ever change in my life and believe a lifelong partner would simply be a "lucky" pick that the two of you change in a compatible way over the course of your lives.

 

I almost made the mistake of getting married, I am no where close to the same person I was then....that would have been a huge mistake

 

Neither is she im sure. Im telling you marriages are like rolling dice. Your going to grow together or grow apart but your sure as fuck not going to stay the same.

 

Respect and truly liking someone for who they are do go a long way....though....but nothing is ever in stone except for death and taxes.

 

True love isnt about marriage though. Marriage (to me) is agreeing to become each others "property." When your married you believe You are theirs and they are yours so braking up is a lot harder. When in reality the only difference is you paid a lot of money for a piece of paper thats going to make it cost a lot of money and put laws in place to protect or rape you during your "brake up."

 

I love a girl. She is my age weve dated, weve kissed, weve talked, weve dated other people, we have never put a label on each other, were texting right now because she is home from school and wants something to do tonight, we want each other to be happy, we dont claim each other as property. (This may be one sided) But i love her. Truly i would love to be married to her. However I dont know if i always would, therefore im not gonna waste either our times puttin together a "perfect world" life with her where everything will go exactly as i hope for the next 50 years, because thats not how shit happens.
