I love Rick Doblin

Prohibition (aka the war on drugs) is the reason there is a 60 year gap in science regarding many drugs. How about just shutting down a bad trip with Valium or many other drugs which would let the patient sleep off the psychedelic? “Mitigation protocols” should be developed to deal with bad trips.

and about france ?

I want this talk to be clear and coherent and well organized. Unfortunately he's so scattered and unclear (like he just woke up from an all night binge) that this is virtually unwatchable. Which is unfortunate for such a important topic. (Not sure how much of that is caused by Peter's lifestyle or academia.)

Love these videos xxx

Awesome talk, would have been great to also have the slides themselves large in the video at times.

Merci pour ce live. C'est dense et détaillé. J'ai tenté de synthétiser l'approche de Peter Sjöstedt et de l'apport de la métaphysique à l'expérience psychédélique dans un article de blog. Si vous avez des commentaires, des remarques ou des questions, merci. emagicworkshop.blogspot.com/2023/05/metaphysique-et-psychedeliques.html

says who»? someone who never tried psychadelics

I had already quit alcohol for a number of years but I was struggling with compulsive marijuana use that I felt unable to control and unable to overcome. I took a dose of mushrooms and during or after that trip I gained the strength to quit. Not only the strength but the motivation and confidence that I could do it. It wasn't immediate but it was the tipping point for me to quit smoking weed and seek help for my mental health issues(bipolar depression). I have also had more than one severe panic attack on mushrooms which were traumatizing for me. I want to do mushrooms but the fear of having the panic attacks stops me from doing so, even though I often feel a benefit despite the panic attack. It's just hard to justify taking something that is going to give me near-death experience and feelings of terror, even if when its all over I will feel a net positive. In the future I'm interested to try mushrooms in a safe setting with a trip sitter to help reduce the effects of a panic attack if it happens.

this is so good but only the rich will afford the cost the homeless, who are mostly homeless because of PTSD will be untreated. if i can not afford treatment from my paycheck i will not be able to get therapy. once again the same story in america offering great things only to the rich.

I think delusions of grandeur is a big one I've noticed to different scales and similarly over inflated egos among regular psychedelic users. Whether these are notable negatives or not is debatable but I'd say it's not helpful to the personal growth element of a reason to take psychedelics.

Abby had a bad trip.

I wonder how big the overlap is with profound meditation experiences. I would guess some of these effects could occur, but at a lower rate.

And then you realize shes a psychology graduate 😅

after my traumatic 13g shroom trip i had blood in the whites of my eyes and persistent HPPD. I lived in an extremely bizarre, egoless and dissociated state for several months after. today, 6 years later i still have HPPD (seeing strange static/noise and everything is slightly animated)

1. Starting with a massive straw man premise here that people are "trying to avoid info on negative effects." I don't buy it. 2. Vast majority of "long term" negative effects can be avoided with skillful facilitation of the session, as well as skillful integration work. 3. 26mg of MDMA is usually a very weak effect.

The worst side effect is that people become esoteric believers after it, going into all pseudosciences simultaneously

Life has side effects too. ;) But jeez have a look at DMT, numbers are down in almost every slide. Also in my experience DMT is the most comfortable drug I ever took.

Shortly after my first ever dose of MDMA I got clinically depressed. After that came a manic, full-on psychotic phase. That was 19 years ago. On meds, hospitalizations, ever since. On disability since 2010. Once a successful Silicon Valley management type I watch watch myself slowly declining towards the underclass of society. I would not wish this on my worst enemy.... Be careful, people. I would have never thought that I'd be the one with the genetic disposition. Neither do you.

Too little information given for the amount of time spent

I want her for president.

Psychedelics pull the plug on the illusion created by local language. That’s why it can be disturbing. It’s a window into things that you may need to address. That’s all you need to know going into it. Some people should not be entertaining psychedelics until they are properly prepared.

It feels like cheating to get these lectures for free

Is it that we hallucinate sights and sounds or that we are now able to perceive what has always been there? Under normal circumstances, the eye is only able to perceive within a set spectrum but when tripping, the pupils tend to get big and small which possibly open your perception to what has always been there surrounding us.

wow!

wow, super! what a time to be alive..

"L.S.D Administration"

👏👏👏

how can we look at this as a "study" rather than nothing more than just a package of verbal labels? The study is purely observational with a very small size. It's amusing to read "Risk factors" as if statistical analysis on a minuscule uncontrolled observational study can allow for isolating risk factors. Is this the new level achieved by psychology as a science nowadays?

How could one be careful and vigilant ?…to evaluate the quality of ayahuasca ?….are there guidelines?

My 1st experience at an eco lodge in the vredefort dome area was profound and the impact is still unfolding….i need more information on how frequent it is required…I turn 74 this year….and I am exceptionally fit and look after my intellect …any guidance will be evaluated

Fantastic review of your work.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA.BETTER THAN SSRI'S...

Do psychedelics facilitate integration by putting a different valence to the negative or what one always tries to avoid?

Totta Petroskoin jälkeen tajusin etten halua olla lähellä ihmisiä

Unfortunately for sel reporting studies the number of participants needed to show a clear indicator is near 20,000 . These small cohorts must be taken with a large spoon of salt.

This is a talk which I wish that I could have listened to and shared in the 1980s. Regardless of how all of my experiences with psychedelics, even large doses, were positive, there were instances where good friends and acquaintances had the antithesis of a good experience. Priceless friendships dissolving due to the contrasts in our experiences. Thank you to Abigail Calder for sharing their time, experiences, research, and insights with us and to ALPS for hosting this talk. 🌺

The best talk of the conference!

i was very impressed with how at ease Abigail seemed to be in front of a crowd especially when the question came it was so well structured that it almost felt like she had time to prepare for each individual question even though it was not the case. that was a stunning presentation !

I hope that a serious study based on this paper is conducted soon

This is so impressive. Thank you!

Ohh shut up and take your medicine 💚

Best thing before tripping is to learn about the drug and what one might to expect. Reading hundreds of trip reports from ppl and always expect a down-period after your trip. This part most forget and a trip comes with costs, doors open you'll never close as well. If you can manage these expectations you're more equipped for those occasions that might propell or suck you back into a neuron pathway where you get misaligned and ego - spirit can split...

Amazing presentation. Clear and honest, with helpful information to boot. Hard to beat that.

This whole thing is just MK Ultra 2.0 which was intended to divert bright and open people into drug culture and away from revolutionary activity during another illegal imperial war. You don’t need drugs to find enlightenment.

thanks for your work - we all love em, but need the data to improve the process.
