There may not be a magic pill for curing racism, but scientists have found that dropping lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), magic mushrooms, ecstasy and other psychedelics can potentially alleviate the trauma caused by racial discrimination.
“Currently, there are no empirically supported treatments specifically for racial trauma,” said Dr. Monnica Williams of the University of Ottawa. “This study shows that psychedelics can be an important avenue for healing.”
She co-authored the trippy research published in the journal Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy.
To test out the mind-bending theory, Williams and other researchers enlisted 313 people who reported taking a psychedelic drug in the past that they felt helped mitigate “the challenging effects of ethnic discrimination,” per the study. Participants identified as black, Asian, Latino, Native American or Indigenous Canadian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
The group completed a survey on their experiences with racial trauma, which included unfair treatment by neighbors, teachers and bosses, false accusations of unethical behavior and physical violence, according to Ohio State News at Ohio State University. Many reported wanting to chastise someone over racist acts but kept quiet instead, per the study.

So would the drug would only be available to non-whites?
[[ I think they want us all on drugs....]]
All drugs except pain relievers that people rely on to get through the day in many cases
Free your mind...
Just ask George Clinton, who’s dropped acid since the days it was legal
LSD turned Whitey Bulger into a fine citizen.
Is that from “Wild in the Streets”?
A brave new world.
Go ahead and make Washington, Oregon and California part of Canada, heck go ahead and throw Mexico in for good measure. The capital can be L A.
Yes.
lol I think the Dems might have figured out how to put the BLM/Antifa genie back into the bottle. Get ‘em trippin’ balls, lose a good number to ODs, and voila! Back to peace at last!
The entire movie is on Youtube for anyone who wants to watch.

I read years ago that ecstasy was therapeutic in treating PTSD. After the trauma we’ve all experienced this year, maybe it would help us, too.
I already feel like I'm on a bad trip.
Millennial wet dream
It’s pretty much impossible to OD on those.
One of the very last things one who is upset should do is take freaking LSD. Why aren’t the people pushing this evil under arrest?
Psychedelics have been episodically promoted as treatments for various mental illnesses for decades now. They have never panned out, obviously, and I doubt this round will be any different.
I’ve often felt that someone slipped me some of the infamous brown acid around mid-February and it still hasn’t worn off.
