Miscellaneous Psychedelics in the mainstream press

[red22]

Since psychedelics have so much potential, but are a mystery to the general public, it's always remarkable when the mainstream press covers them. I figured we could use a thread for compiling such publications.

LSD for anxiety and depression? Some early studies show promise.

Researchers are investigating whether the drug could be used in mainstream medicine—with and without its hallucinatory effects.

After years of negative associations with counterculture and illicit drug use, small studies suggest that the psychedelic compound lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) may have therapeutic properties for managing both major depressive and generalized anxiety disorders.


This Salon article is worth including for this quote, alone:

“Based on extensive human experience, it is generally acknowledged that psychedelics do not elicit addiction or compulsive use and that there is little evidence for an association between psychedelic use and birth defects, chromosome damage, lasting mental illness, or toxic effects to the brain or other body organs,” –Teri Krebs

Added a great quote to the first post.

instead of saying "little evidence" they should have said "no evidence" of genetic damage...
a trifle of weak language thrown into the mix often expands into a maelstrom of disinformation.

It appears there is actually a little evidence:

Meet The Billionaire Financial Advisor Who Embraced Psychedelics And Found Bliss

I have an inherent distrust of people with that caliber of dosh... at least a few have been exploited for him to reach his current circumstances and this could all be a face to keep up with the "celebritized" state of being rich in the modern age. Changed his name to Omani like distancing yourself from American culture makes you a better person. He is spending money to be perceived in a certain way and there are likely ulterior motives behind that.

The silicon valley wankers want to speed up society's collapse so they can go and live in bunkers a mile deep. All fascist too - trying to destroy democracy so they become king. Musks cuts to USAID are set to kill 9 million people so his ideas about psychedelics are completely worthless.

Resist and unsubscribe from bigtech sites - thats all that will bother them.
