The Rise of Psychedelic Therapies | News on Drugs

The healing powers of psychedelics are transforming the world of mental health treatment. At the forefront of research is Professor David Nutt, whose team at Imperial College London is using magic mushrooms in clinical trials to treat depression - and getting incredible results.
Humans love drugs. Every culture in human history has looked for ways to alter its consciousness. So where does this desire come from? And why are some drugs legal and others illegal? What is it about some drugs that make governments declare war on them?
In News on Drugs, writer JS Rafaeli chats to fellow drug nerds about their studies to tackle some of the biggest questions in the crazy world of mind-altering substances.

Tripping on mushrooms and self reflecting during meditation while tripping was the best thing I've ever done for my mental health and the fun I've had during the leisure trips will never be forgotten. As someone with an anxiety disorder and being on the spectrum of autism, psychedelic medicine has blown the doors wide open and allowed me to overcome negative thought patterns that once plagued my brain constantly. I feel love and empathy even stronger than ever before but without resulting in so much sadness when things go wrong, I just overcome it and move on. I can now more deeply understand what it means to simply exist and observe the universe as it actually is without an overactive ego impeding my ability to do so. We have been robbed of countless years of potential progress but now is finally the time to wake up and acknowledge reality for what it really is, no matter the situation.

Everyone is mentally ill according to dsm5. Just cuz someone tells u u r mentally ill doesn't mean u r. If u believe u have mental problems not based on what someone else told u, u should try to fix them. But drugs are not the answer. If u think drugs help and want to use them your body your choice. Legalize drugs. Ban forced and coerced drugging. Ban mandatory treatment. drugs can not control your mind and make u think any way. U have free will. Drugs can't stop depression, depression is a choice. Drugs might make u feel better phsyciallly but they r not alive they don't have a soul and u r not a robot for drugs to make u think a certian way. Take proper care of your phsycial health and lower stress and try to improve your situation if u r depressed, maybe make friends and don't let fear hold u back from doing what u want.

This really shows the power of rumination. In Buddhism, rumination(as I understand it) is called meditation, or any repeated thinking. This includes but is not limited to sitting cross-legged and calming the mind. We are always meditating on something, and the Buddha taught to harness the power of meditation and repeat positive thinking. He taught via the 4 Noble Truths that positive thinking; renunciation, compassion, faith, love and wisdom is the cause of happiness. The psilocybin study showed that disrupting negative meditations eases suffering. To maintain this benefit, one needs to watch their mind to catch themselves when they start a negative meditation, and turn it around. Lets do this!

"why am i doing this to myself? i'm a beautiful person" - the most simple thing and yet it felt like a revelation. the next day i woke up and ate normally, and the next day and so on - it's been 4 years and i'm STILL in remission. it's crazy. i never thought my life could be like this, where food doesn't dominate my every thought. i hope one day to run psychedelic retreats for people with eating disorders, because it's truly changed my life.

I don't think it works like that. The idea if you take a very large dose once. Micro dosing doesn't cause any kind of ego death and extreme mental changes that break you out of repetitive doom thinking. The one big dose does do that. Anyone that tells you that micro dosing is a mental health aid is talking from either their own experience or from seeing others benefit but that's not enough as way more people might have the story that it made things worse. In fact you can search on suicides that happen with people who were known to be micro dosing and that's alarming.

I have ptsd with sides of anxiety and depression. The prescription stuff was unappealing for me based on my and my therapists research, so I acquired some mushrooms and duplicated the protocols used in some of the clinical trials as closely as I was able to and used them (no therapist obviously, but therapy the next day). I did two sessions about two weeks apart the first time - and they were a huge help. It was like a switch had been flicked in my brain and I went from knowing to believing, and a lot of the old garbage just wasn't so important anymore. I find that I seem to get some back slide and need to repeat the process once or twice a year. I have zero desire to use them so no addiction and I don't want other drugs now - even alcohol is just whatever. Not needed. Not wanted. I wish that this kind of option was more available for people who aren't the DIY sort and I'd love safe access to some of the other substances of this type to see what benefits they have.
