That's a dream of mine, actually.

People make me sad. Of course psychedelic drugs are medicinal, that has been known for THOUSANDS of years. People are always so shocked to learn that LSD and psilocybin are non toxic and have lethal doses that are nigh impossible to reach.

i'm glad they are illigal. they are not so hard to come by.
-------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear. Since the initial publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear... is less than one millionth of reality. --------------------------------

Great comments you guys.
I can't stand the up tight laws on controlled substances, I understand the laws towards chemical and artificial substances like meth, crack, etc. But drugs like Valium, something I really need I cannot get. As stated above, it's been proven MDMA can and IS medicinal. Therefore candidates that meet the criteria should have access toward whatever advances and treatment we have available.
I've never heard of MAPS. Sounds like they are making some strides.

Wait, what? Meth is artificial even though it can be found in nature, but Valium and MDMA aren't artificial?

those are all synthetic. some of the stuff inside those drugs may be found in nature, but otherwise no.
as for prescription ecstasy and psilocybin i just dont see it happening. possibly for use with therapists under their supervision. i think that would be a good thing. but even that would be far fetched with the people running our governments.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*

Anything that cannot be found in nature anywhere and wouldn't exist without the hand of man is synthetic. It might have natural precursors, though.
I don't see full blown hallucinogenics/psychedelics getting appoved for medical use any time soon. If they were going to do that with any substance it would probably be MDMA, Psilocybin not so much.

If meth isn't synthetic then I don't know what is.

The Meth-containing plant is hard to find. It hides behind other plants, sending out shoots to see if anyone is watching. Has been spotted picking at itself, and can be ID'd by the open sores on it's stalk. Found among other plants that have been taken apart, but can't put back together. Peace

You might be talking about Ma Huang. If so, it's not 'meth-containing' (lol wouldn't that be convenient), but ephedrine can be extracted from it.

OH RRY?
Seemed like it was the other way around to me.
I don't really care, I roll blunts.
But, still... just seems strange.
I wonder why?

I think if it was made legal for medical purposes only, it would be just as hard, if not harder to come by for those of us which don't need them medically.
Great article, by the way.

That's a complete myth from a bogus study like 10 years ago that they use in rehab.

Excuse me, you're right. I meant meth, crack, etc. are not created using a specific guidline, they have a mix match of crap in them... Sorry.

There's a species of Acacia that contains methamphetamine so it's NOT synthetic. Or more accurately, it was synthesized and thought to be discovered by a human but was later found in nature.

Nice read. I MAPS.
What surprised me most about this article is in the section about KETAMINE, they never mentioned that there is actually a clinic in the Tampa Florida area which is currently doing psychedelic psychotherapy along with the use of Ketamine.. I don't have their website address handy at the moment, but it is out there. The treatments are like $8,000-9,000 for a long session, which is through the roof. But it is going on somewhere in the tampa area which is only an hours drive from MAPS headquarters in sarasota.
