Don't know if I'm in the wrong thread ... but ... I love the phrase ... "LSD, a word that brings out an acute psychotic reaction in people that have never taken it"

this doesnt have much to do with the topic either but .. this whole thread is jacked
anyways, a girl in my class asked a question in psychology and she kind've had a point
she asked about how when people are depressed it can make them physically sick sometimes if they're so upset and stuff..
so she asked what if people are very well balanced and happy, could it help them physically

the teacher answered itd kindve be impossible to be well balanced since theres too much going on in your head.. but who knows, theres times you can totally clear your conciousness on enough drugs ;x

For me thats what psychedelics do under the right dosages and conditions. Having no thoughts or desires. Free from your ego you slpash into the moment and disslove into eternity. It doesn't last ,but when you come back you see the world and your involvement in it differently. After see'ing the light from were we came its like a new faith. Your not enlightend, but you have a perspective of what it is.
To be able to leave the physical plane and dissovle into the spiritual world and come back is a true gift. We should all be greatful of these substances that allow us to do that. Used properly the potential for psychedelics in healing us and our culture is breathtaking. :heart:
Just my viewpoint on it.

It's laughable that you think I try proving myself as an intellectual as an anonymous poster on a site dedicated to psychedelic mushrooms. Even if this is truly what you believe about me, does this mean that you can dismiss my views?

Quote:

To be honest, pretty much all illnesses have their roots in past lifetimes, genetics, or emotional turmoil. That is a fact.




You clearly don't understand the meaning of the word "fact." There's no evidence whatsoever that people live past lives. I'd like to see you cite a scientific source for that bullshit fact. All you've done is demeaned yourself and this thread by attacking my credibility and destroying your own.

BTW, are you a scientologist?

Western medicine tells you to get excercise. Western medicine is responsible for curing and treating the majority of diseases that have been or are treated. Ever heard of polio? Ever heard of penicillin?

Sorry man but what you're saying is total nonsense. If you want to believe that LSD is good for your soul, that's totally fine, but don't try passing it off as a "fact" that LSD is more useful than all of Western medicine.

I don't have a beef against acid. LSD was always a lot of fun. I think LSD should be legal for everyone to enjoy if they chose to do so. Just because I don't think LSD has magical healing powers doesn't mean that I dislike it. What's with these attempts at discrediting me?

Sorry if I'm covering things people have allready said. This is a long thread and I just saw it and I wanted to throw my two cents into the pot.

Quote:


Psychiatry on the other hand I admire. It looks for illness. It searches for biological causes. It searches for ways to treat disorders. It has it's problems but it's not like psychology.




That's my main beef with pyschiatry-it's become applied neuropharmacology,and nothing more. I think biological concepts are important in the understanding of mental illness and medication (btw,I'm very interested in neuropharm),but these claims are overly reductionist and with our poor understanding of the brain:over simplied. I've meant a lot of arrogant psychiatrists who think they know everything.If I hear another doctor say "you must have low serotonin levels or too much chemical X",I'm going to get violent. (Just look at those ridiculous chemical flow charts on pathology). As China pointed out,psychiatry actually means something like "soul doctoring". In my experience,psychological explanations are totally overlooked by most psychiatrists. Most are just experimental med checkers.

And as far as LSD having no use in medicine,I think that's totally wrong. It's hard to conduct studies when something is in C1,so I'm only pointing out anectdotal evidence,but there is a lot of information out there that LSD might be useful for cluster and related headaches and possibly even OCD.

Huh?  Give me a little bit more information about these nonsense claims.  Some medications will have nasty side effects, including harmful ones.

Since 1900, yes, Western medicine has started kicking ass.  LOL.

What system of medicine is more advanced than Western medicine today?

Quote:

Stealing?

Quote:

Turns out there really is a basis for thinking some of those odd herbs have certain beneficial properties.




And how is this "stealing"?  Do you expect doctors to say, "Oh, well, we can't use that medicine because another culture uses it."  The reason herbal remedies don't get huge investments is because they can't be patented.  Western medicine can't steal them because they don't belong to anybody.

Quote:

Not to mention that Eastern medicine tends to focus equally on treating both the body and the spirit, as it were.




Western medicine won't concern itself with treating the "spirit" because the spirit is outside the realm of science.  If the mind needs treating, Western medicine has a specialized branch to deal with it.  Some treatments that are oriented around physical treatments could use better integration with counselling and support services though.

Quote:

...Did you know that the once-a-day birth control pill originated in ancient china?  It was made with a similar process to how the pill was made through most of the 20th century -- boiling down the urine of pregnant mares.  :smile: 




That's an interesting footnote to the fact that the great majority of useful medications have their origins in Western medicine.

Just because a substance may have a possible use doesn't mean that it is known to be useful. When I say that LSD is currently useless to medicine, that's because it has no known use. If they found a use for LSD tomorrow, then the fact that today I said that LSD is useless to medicine would be correct.

Regarding the other issues, I've made a few posts about anthropological psychiatry above.

I completely agree with that.  Whenever I trip, im able to feel things i've only dreamed about. Like when I can just sit in the middle of the woods or by a river for hours, just taking in the beuty of life. Or at a show, just dancing to the music and everything goes away except for me, the band and the music. Psychedelics are a sacrament. When thoughts can be so simple but yet so complex.  When life can be so perfect and beutiful how can one put a price on that or have a law against that.

The problem with western science and medicine is that it often totally discounts subjective experience. I understand the whole point of being objective in science,but in psychiatry and a lot of other medicine, taking subjective expreriences seriously is key. For example,I don't think SSRI antidepresants are nearly as effective as doctors believe. I think in a lot of instances,they just makes people complain less and make people outwardly look less depressed,but truly they don't feel any happier.

Quote:

But it is known to be useful (maybe not to mainstream science),but it's so difficult to study,it's nearly impossible to prove.I imagine if LSD wasn't a C1 and didn't have as much social stigma attached to it,it would be proven useful for the treatment of cluster headaches, certain heart conditions,and treatment refractory OCD. Afterall,there is a solid theoretical foundation for why it might work for said conditions.

BTW,many, if not most,of the early, famous "psychedelic idealists" thought that the psychological uses of LSD were beyond the realm of science because these aspects could never be objectively prooven. However,that still doesn't necessarily mean it's not useful for psychological conditions. (BTW,my personal opinion is that LSD is too unpredictable to be used in psychiatry,besides a few special circumstances.)

Like I already pointed out though, anthropologically oriented psychiatry already and medical anthropology don't discount subjective experience at all. The placebo effect has been known for decades. That indicates awareness and interest in the patient's subjectivity. Other areas of medicine don't need to address subjectivity. Antibacterial drugs will inhibit enzymes responsible for building cell walls whether you're aware of it or not. On the other hand, anecdotal accounts (subjective reports) of a drug's efficacy can be tossed into the garbage can in many cases, because they're not reliable.

Quote:

But it is known to be useful (maybe not to mainstream science)




Where is it known to be useful and by who? I don't consider the positive opinions about LSD by people who are obviously pro-psychedelic drug to be worthy of much consideration, just like you don't think SSRIs are as effective as many believe. If there was hard evidence, and LSD was known to be effective, then, well, it would be known. In this case, if there's no evidence, then it's not known. Science has to operate on a broader social level. If only one person knows that substance X causes cancer, then no, it's not known, and if you aren't able to reproduce the data supporting that conclusion then I simply can't take the claim that substance X causes cancer very seriously.

The simple fact is that right now LSD has no medical use. It was studied for decades. There are volumes of books documenting medical research with LSD. Nothing comes to any conlusion. It looks like LSD can't be used for any known disorder at this point. Maybe one day it will. I have no objection to that. What I do object to is people claiming that it is a medical fact that LSD is medically beneficial. It's not.

Quote:

Any references to literature about this?

Quote:

Anthropological sciences have grown a lot since then. I think you would be genuinely and pleasantly surprised if you picked up a book about medical anthropology.

Quote:

I would disagree with the initial assessment of LSD's effects being beyond science.

Pretty much yeah, but Chinacat72 was a part of that since he was very low on the totem pole and would just sell doses at shows just to fund his addiction to coke and heroin.

The whole GD "scene" has been going downhill since the late 70s and it was really bad when Chinacat72 came along and just got worse and keeps getting worse.
