Why I think young teens shouldn't trip

Thanks! Maybe someone else will also catch a case of the smiles off me before I dryly mantra 'do what thou wilt (and harm none)' .

 

I agree and disagree sam-stoned..
I feel it depends on the ''teenager''..

 

Agreed. A teenager using drugs to get messed up isn't right for psychedelics. Someone who's spiritually intact with themselves and has control over their thoughts are the people good for psychedelics, in my opinion.

 

Agreed, a teenager who likes to take drugs to get messed up is more right for Schedule 1 Narcotics.

 

I don't know what that meant, but I like it.

This is entertaining. :cheers2:

 

MDMA does have a medicinal value; it was studied mostly back in the 70s on curing depression. Scientists are just now starting to study it again.

 

I personally don't believe a teenager should be spiritually intact yet. Its an period about discovering yourself and if you are using drugs I don't think too much of a serious motive is necessary. Some of the best experiences have been recreational.

 

Most psychedelics are Schedule 1 drugs including LSD, psilocybin, DMT, DET, MDA, MDMA, and so on.

Not being a smart ass, just keeping the facts straight.

 

Oh really? Did it cure their depression for 4-6 hours? From what I read, the psychiatrist/psychologist would use it to project a higher sense of empathy.

 

Like LSD for example? :biggrinjester: (dunno where LSD falls in your moral/legal/therapeutic index)

I was at a customs station and had an argument with the officer about cannabis is not a narcotic ... lesson learned! Don't try to educate an enforcer, they will strip you down and bend you over!

But seriously hasn't it been traditional (goin' on for generations) for kids to like to get messed up, without the hassle of opiate addiction lets say? I suggest there are more underage keggers/house parties (in)directly sponsored by adults, than opium dens happening herenow, as the local culture may have a lifetime experience of drinking and, uh, smoking some green in-between.

 

I don't think it's whether the teenager should be spiritually intact yet or not, I think it's whether the teenager could be spiritual at all. Some teenagers are smart and mentally mature as college students, and some are dumb as rocks. It probably just depends on the kid for the most part.

 

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or for real.

Just to keep my case..

'''Between 1977 and 1985, roughly half a million doses were administered for the treatment of depression, anxiety, rape-related trauma, and even schizophrenia..''

Ahh touche. The point I was making is, they'd probably be better off taking LSD than heroin or crack. Believe it or not the people you would consider "dumb as rocks" who happen "to use LSD" are generally the ones who can take it, experience it fully, and then not think a second thought of it until next time around. To me that is all the mental stability one needs to display. To assert that one needs spiritual endeavours to experience a drug seems a bit pretentious, but that's only my opinion.

 

Yep. I honestly think it's sad. LSD or any other psychedelic isn't worth being wasted on some kid who's looking for a night to get fucked up. That's what alcohol is for. It's tradition, but it's wrong.

 

For the treatment of, yet there is not a thing in that article pertaining to the results of such treatment. In fact, they mentioned heavy MDMA users serotonin levels were about 30% lower than usual. What exactly is that saying in any beneficial sense?

 

So you're saying we shouldn't think about LSD until the next time we decide to trip?

 

Who said I got all my facts from that one article? There's plenty of MDMA facts out there, go have yourself a treasure hunt on google. :ssmokeit:

 

Are you saying you are as dumb as a rock?

 

Am I supposed to take that offensively or as a question?

 

Well where and who are your other sources? You said that was the article keeping your case.
