What if tripping is a tool to see how our brains work?
    #5744359 - 06/12/06 11:16 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I just had some sort of crazy thinking revolution... I saw tripping from a standpoint of what it must have been like to be the first scientists to discover it, wouldn't it be a fantastic thing to study? exactly what is it in our brains that does this stuff to us that makes us most human? It's like a tool to probe our minds and see how they work! Are there other people that see this too? Is there work being done in that field and of so who is publishing books about it?

Tripping can be a form of psychology I guess.... but I personally wouldn't trust a drugged self analysis of ones psyche.

yes however drug prohibition has greatly restricted the depths in which we may 'officially' probe. i believe strongly in the potential that psychedelics may have in global-interconnected-human culture. its practical applications in the fields of psychology, sociology, biology, anthropology, ethics, metaphysics, etc. etc. seem endless.

our species of post-primate intelligence is in my eyes fully capable of exploring these vast realms of study. we would all probably start hearing lots more about LSD and magic mushrooms on the discovery channel and yeah maybe even VH1, if its research potential wasn't so aggressively suppressed by the men who print our money.

i consider every one of my own personal trips to be discovery of its own, hoping that perhaps someday i or someone else will stumble across a finding that can propell and concentrate human psychedelic study beyond its jurisdictional chains and well, let it grow from there..

i cannot think of any books published on this, let's start writing one. :grin:

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking about what the study of the mechanisms of action of (psychedelics) in the brain can reveal about how brain processes are the basis for human cognition and behavior?

What you just stated is the rationale used to obtain federal funding to study hallucinogens. The question of "how much" research is being performed is subjective. Most of the research involves animal models and in vitro studies (rather than humans). As far as human research is concerned, many would consider the "leading researcher" to be Franz Vollenweider, whom few people have heard of.

As with other areas of science, findings are published in "research journals" not books.
