A new study suggests that lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), also known as acid, could reduce anxiety.

In the past when we heard of studies like this, it only involved micro dosing.

Researching the potential benefits of LSD is LONG overdue.

...side effects are hallucinations, headache,nausea. Drug company called MindMed. Sounds like a vile company to try and repurpose the drug. They will be sued out of existence when first teenager takes his parents meds and goes driving down the street at 100 mph into a schoolyard.

I know several women, both of whom lost a child, who resorted to psilocybin for depression and it has helped greatly. And no, they didn’t go crazy and it wasn’t for the purposes of getting high.

Lots of medicines are “bad” if taken incorrectly.

LSD seems the biological equivalent of banging on the side of a tube TV to get it to work right. Works, sometimes. Can break things, loose, too.

Save for emergency.

What benefits?

Don’t see any benefits of a neurotoxic substance that causes severe sleep deprivation among other symptoms.

Magic Mushrooms are fun. LSD does massive stress on the human body. Stay away from LSD. Magic Mushrooms are far better. And safer. Look for the blue vein on the side of the stem.

There’s a number of biotechs creating analogues of the psychedelic drugs so they can patent them for use in PTSD anxiety and depression.

That’s what it was invented for. Then the experiment subjects really enjoyed it and it escaped from the lab, and got a bad name. But it actually does work for exactly what they wanted it to do. Gets you in a semi-hypnotic state, therapy sticks better, minor euphoric that’s good for anxiety and a lot of stuff.

A proper diet, plenty of water each day, less stress and a good nights sleep can go a long way to improving your overall health, oh and prayer and faith in Jesus.

I think I’ve read about the use in PTSD, but again only using micro dosing.
