psychedelic drugs as medicine?[views:2033][posts:22]______________________________________ [May 24,2006 12:27pm - HailTheLeaf ""] http://www.alternet.org/drugreporter/36346/ This features an interview with Charles Grob, and while it doesn't cover as much as I'd hoped, at least it's out there. I also recommend watching "Hoffan's Potion", which goes into the LSD experiments conducted in Canada in the 50's and 60's in much more detail. Charles Grob, M.D., is director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the UCLA School of Medicine. He conducted the first government-approved psycholobiological research study of MDMA, was the principal investigator of an international project in the Brazilian Amazon of ayahuasca, and is now studying the use of psilocybin with advanced-stage cancer patients. He is editor of "Hallucinogens: A Reader" and recently co-edited, with Roger Walsh, "Higher Wisdom: Eminent Elders Explore the Continuing Impact of Psychedelics." |

| ______________________________________ [May 24,2006 12:51pm - HailTheLeaf ""] yeah, I'm all set with ecstacy myself, but I'd definately like to know more about their research with mushrooms, and the history of plants out there with hallucinogenic properties. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 24,2006 12:54pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] everyone should be made to take pcp at least twice a week |

| ______________________________________ [May 24,2006 1:03pm - the_reverend ""] HTL just wants to smoke all the plants she finds |
| ________________________________________________ [May 24,2006 1:04pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] hey pcp was a plant of some sort at one point or another |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2006 1:05pm - HailTheLeaf ""] depends on the plant..haha |
| ____________________________________________ [May 24,2006 1:22pm - Man_of_the_Century ""] Interesting, but I'm going to researve judgement till the end on the study. I do like how that guy doesn't come right out and say that the drugs will do this or that, he leaves the option of failure open. |
| ____________________________________ [May 24,2006 1:41pm - RichHorror ""] Cocaine is a plant. |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2006 8:30pm - HailTheLeaf ""] Flintstones chewable morphine! |
| ___________________________________ [May 24,2006 9:06pm - Jugulator ""] I used to do LSD back in day.I was told by a shrink that doing that drug to much can cause permanent pyschosis.All I know is that after I stopped doing it I got paranoid and depressed.Not a recomended drug to get into. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 24,2006 9:09pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] dood shut the fuck up acid flashbacks are a daily activity for me. saying acid is bad is like saying hey dont drink water. you fool, you're bad for the drugs. not the otherway around. |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2006 9:15pm - HailTheLeaf ""] I haven't done acid since high school... |
| ___________________________________ [May 24,2006 9:15pm - Jugulator ""] Ive never had a flashback |
| _________________________________________________ [May 25,2006 12:53am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] Jugulator said:Ive never had a flashback then you havent done nearly enough of it to be concerned about shit. |
| ______________________________________ [May 25,2006 1:33am - hungtableed ""] I always thought ecstacy is for fuckin homos, but acid (more specifically liquid) and shrooms were always a great time. |
| ________________________________ [May 25,2006 6:35am - retzam ""] Shrooms are soooo great. I've only done them 3 times and two of those times were like, amazing experiences. The other time was fun, but I was just hanging out at a friends house and was unable to really go anywhere, so the experience wasn't all that it could have been. Even if you don't take enough to have crazy hallucinations, you still have a lot of fun. I wanna try acid. I think I'm gonna some time this summer. |
| ________________________________ [May 25,2006 6:38am - retzam ""] Oh yeah, and as for ecstacy, I took like a third of a pill once and barely noticed anything, but I was reallllly stoned at the time, so maybe that's why. My friend who took the rest of the pill said he was feeling it pretty noticeably, so I was surprised when I got nothing at all. Probably a combination of shitty X and high resistance. I'm not very interested in the stuff though. Too much risk in what your getting lots of times, although, I guess it's getting safer. Still, I'd probably just want to fuck whoever was around. Salvia is good too, but I've never had really strong stuff that can really give you a crazy out-of-body experience. |
