TRONDHEIM, Norway, March 8 (UPI) — A new study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology has found there is no connection between psychedelic drugs and mental health issues.

The researchers analyzed data from the U.S. National Health Survey (2008-2011). The data includes over 130,000 randomly selected adults, including nearly 20,000 psychedelic drug users. The analysis showed people who use LSD or psilocybin mushrooms do not have an increased risk of mental health problems.

“The researchers claim it is more likely there is a link between improved mental health after using psychedelic drugs.”

In other news, obesity is not linked to overeating. In fact, eating is good for you.

This will come as quite a relief to all those acid heads I used to see in acute psych wards back in the day. There were a lot of them too.

I guess it won’t be able to use drugs as a self defense excuse anymore.

nearly 20,000 psychedelic drug users.

What the article failed to mention is that Norway's population is around 510,970.........20,000 stoners is one hell of a lot.

These “researchers” must not have been born yet during the 1970’s or they would not have bothered performing the study. Anyone who was there would have seen the mass of acid casualties. The ones that recovered somewhat can be found on your facebook wall dispensing crackpot conspiracy theories.
