This is just one article of many that have been published in the last year pushing for the legalization of LSD and other psychedelics for medicinal purposes. It's been known since the 60's that such drugs have a large potential for treatments for depression, addiction, OCD and PTSD, but research is only just restarting now since the drugs were scheduled.

What do you think? Are psychedelics the new marijuana? Or is the backlash too real and this will not amount to anything?

Canadian researcher: Norwegian researchers must be on LSD

I mean ppl still do LSD .

I don't think there will ever be a time when drugs are accepted and used responsibly by everyone. The risks outweigh the pros

damn right it is

I think you're right, but I think people are also frustrated at the nonsensical drug scheduling. I mean the receipts and the law are almost polar opposites:

Yup I have heard this from a lot of people. Some hallucinogens are capable of producing long-lasting remissions of sufferers with mood and anxiety disorders.

“We are not in the 1960s anymore and have moved on,”

Omg sometimes i hate these so called progressive people , i guess we can apply the same logic to beastiality and other things

This is so illogical, god bless. (slippery slope fallacy)

The reason why LSD, DMT, Weed and other psychedelc substances are illegal is because they make people think. Thinking is harmful to government system, they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong. Your mind is unconcously controlled by the culture order which is created by our government like TV, school, education system, media ect ect.

I hate people who do these hallucinogenic drugs. They act like they are so enlightened but as soon as they face some harsh reality in life they get so messy.

Source: I work with college/high school people and they are dropping acid and think they are buddha.

You can't be serious...

There's a difference between edgy high schoolers and scientists though lmao.

bingo. that's why LSD, weed, DMT and other hallucinogenic or euphoric drugs are regulated to 'schedule 1' (DEA definition of being the most dangerous / likely for abuse) and drugs like xanax, cocaine, oxycontin are 'schedule 2' or lower

in other news: acid is great and everyone should do it at least once in their life. it does your mind / life some good to step out of your present consciousness / reality

They must have no idea how much LSD damages you and the people around you.

Maybe drugs should be allowed but it's certainly not a human right

LSD is actually nontoxic, nonaddictive and is not known to cause any sort of physical harm. There are no known deaths caused solely by ingestion and, as long as no preexisting mental conditions exist, its safety profile is unmatched by most drugs.

I think there is a lot of potential danger if people are dropping acid without supervision or in bad places where they can be put in bad situations, or taking drugs they -think- are acid but are actually dangerous compounds. But saying that LSD damages you without qualifying that statement is misguided.

The responses the "banned" still under his name

LSD is relatively harmless but one bad trip can really mess someone up
