Racism victims should drop acid, ecstasy to reduce trauma: study
New York Post ^ | 12/30/2020 | Ben Cost

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.

Well, I’d add heroin and Fentanyl, in large on-demand unrestricted quantities, to their therapy.

So the whole crack epidemic didn't do enough damage?
Now that BLM has done their dirty work they need to 'put the genie back in the bottle'?

If that’s the plan, they should just encourage them to shoot up heroin.

That's why a lot of white kids do it.

Most everyone should take acid at least a couple of times in their life.

YES! I AGREE! Give the ones who suffer from “trauma caused by racial discrimination” very large doses of each of the psychedelic drugs listed!

They already do drugs.

Drug use has helped bring about the hyper sensitive PC society.

How about my trauma as a result of pernicious age discrimination in hiring and employment? IT IS NO DIFFERENT.

“I think they want us all on drugs....”

Yes. It cultivates or inures liberal leftist thought.

The movie came out in 1968 so it is more like the Millennial’s hippie Grandparent’s wet dream.

I took acid (purple microdot) once in high school. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was terrible. I can’t understand how people think it can help anything?
