Is there a real reason for AA or NA not to take advantage of psychedelic therapy?
    #21682479 - 05/15/15 10:33 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

The reason all the AA folk never want to touch mind altering substances again  is because of their addictive properties, no? (and the slightly more secondary reason, that those substances make you stupid and prevent you from living life)

But psychedelics are obviously neither addicting nor destroyers of intelligence. (quite the opposite in fact) And with all the research lately showing that these things actually have legitimate potential for treating mental disorders, how are the NA/AA folk not excited? The ones I talk to are still downright opposed to the idea.

Is it because that wouldn't count as being clean? I mean fuck, this stuff is liable to drop you into a nightmare world, its not exactly recreational.

I remember reading a rumor that even the founder of AA thought LSD had potential for treating addiction

Treating drug addiction with more drugs generally isn't a good idea.

I mean, I see where you're coming from, but to give these people more drugs is just a little counterintuitive.

Theres so many reasons. Like drugs and laws and mental illness and addictive personalities I mean the list can go on. I mean 12 step programs strickly follow a set of tenets that were laid down like a super long time ago so they'd never go for it.
