I know its late night crew time, so this may or may not end well for me... but here goes
im working on a sociology paper. my thesis is a discussion of the public opinion on hallucinogens, the reason why it is such, and what benefits they could provide should the world realize they aren't evil drugs that make the user go insane.
my question is this, do any of you have any interesting quotations, references, images (of medical trials etc), or anything that you think would be a good addition to such a paper? I know it sounds like im asking you to do my HW for me, but i already have a rly rough draft, im just trying to make this a good and informative paper.
thx guys

then cluster busters...
and do your own research into the muscle effects of psilocybin which are physical benefits not psych benefits of usage.
Then research the OMG drugz are bad studies that are either poorly defined or had an agenda or were good studies overall that gave a balanced result of psychadelics...

Edit: To OP--Some are afraid, and others like to embrace the unknown. Thats really what it boils down too. also google the effects of psilocybin on OCD patients.

Most definitely. You say you want to be a journalist/writer so I think this would be a great way to get some constructive criticism. I'm sure it'll be great so hopefully the shroomery community will be nice. Or at least most of us It'll all be good though. I don't see them writing anything productive.

Quote:
Enough research has been done with psilocybin, starting in the 1950s, that we can be reasonably confident that it is not physically toxic in doses humans ordinarily use. This is consistent with the fact that psilocybin-containing mushrooms have not, in millennia of use, acquired a reputation of being physically harmful. Traditions that use psilocybin mushrooms do, however, caution about psychological and spiritual risks of using them haphazardly.
Quote:
Unlike drugs of abuse such as alcohol and cocaine, the classic hallucinogens are not known to be physically toxic and they are virtually non-addictive, so those are not concerns.
