Please participate in my study on psychedelic drugs and anxiety vulnerabilities
    #22657484 -

Hello everyone! I'm a psychology master's student currently conducting my thesis research project, which is on the effects of lifetime psychedelic drugs on anxiety vulnerabilities and trait anxiety. My main interests are the beneficial therapeutic effects of psychedelic drug on mental health. I would really appreciate if you could take 10-15 minutes to complete my questionnaire. The results will be written up by June 2016 and hopefully will be accepted for publishing in a journal.

Hello arianafree

I have questions about the section of your survey on psychedelic use. You have DMT, ayahausca, peyote, and mescaline listed as separate items. Ayahausca includes DMT, and mescaline is the active compound in peyote. Is it intended that respondents include the number of uses of ayahausca in the tally for DMT, and the number of uses of peyote in the tally for mescaline?

I have some other issues with the structure of the questions, but such is the way with surveys.

Interesting project -- thank you for doing this :smile:

Hello!

Thank you for your input. Most studies on psychedelics include them as separate, because in popular culture they are not mutually exclusive. For DMT, I would specifically include how many times you took DMT in its pure form, separate from ayahuasca. For peyote and mescaline you can just choose one of them to  say number of times you have taken it (and completely skip the second term).

This is a main fault I find with your basic criteria. You do not seem to question the mental illness myth itself, and so your questionaire is designed just as the average psychologist questionaire is devised eg 'do you have mental illness?' 'yes/no'

I mean why not add. Are you aware of the mental illness myth?

What I am really saying is that when you look at the bigger picture, you cannot divide psychedelic insight and awareness from the very system you are oppressed under. it is not business-as-usual and psychedelics reduced to some kind of glorified psychiatric drug that 'get's rid of anxiety'
The roots of anxiety ARE oppression, IS authoritarianism coercing you to be and do things you may choose not to want to do and be
Thus I find your research superficial

I think that would take away from the validity of the study in an academic sense. If you want to convince a wider audience of the benefits of psychedelics you have to work within the framework of conventional psychology.

You should do a study on why people meet entities when they smoke dmt or drink ayuasca..(or snort 100mg of psilocin).

Or why many people relate similar mystical experiences (reincarnation, evolution of the universe, conversing with some sort of "godhead") at varying doses of psychedelics.


Clearly, this means god does not exist. :strokebeard:
You know why these experiences reduce anxiety?
You can face anything after you've been through something like that.

I almost wish it was all bullshit.
