Title: Recent Studies Show That Psychedelic Drugs Are Not Bad For Mental Health — But Alcohol Is

It is a matter of provable fact that psychedelics are the safest compounds within the modern drug culture. The strongest hallucinogen known to man dimethyltryptamine is actually less damaging to the human body than America’s favorite fix, caffeine.

Many substances that are deeply embedded in American culture such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine or pharmaceutical narcotics are in fact toxins, while psychedelic compounds are actually physically benign and many times already occur naturally in human chemistry. What this means is that the chemicals which make psychedelics do what they do are actually naturally occurring compounds that are chemically suited for your body.

Study after study confirms the safety and natural composition of these substances, yet psychedelics are vilified in our media, politics and other cultural institutions. This massive public smear campaign exists because the establishment fears the impact that psychedelics would have on their control structure.

You see, these drugs are not dangerous to the individual or the community, but they make us seek our own answers about the world around us, instead of swallowing the line of garbage that we have been fed by the establishment.

Psychedelics will break down the personal ego and cultural barriers that our society has corrupted us with and will make negative cultural norms such as war, poverty and oppression seem completely insane. This kind of social clarity could be very dangerous for the establishment and their control system, which is why they insist that these substances are bad and cannot be introduced into society.

A recent study conducted by the Research Council of Norway has found that psychedelics do not have any long-term negative effects on mental health.

According to the study:

A recent large population study of 130,000 adults in the United States failed to find evidence for a link between psychedelic use (lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocybin or mescaline) and mental health problems. Using a new data set consisting of 135,095 randomly selected United States adults, including 19,299 psychedelic users, we examine the associations between psychedelic use and mental health.

After adjusting for sociodemographics, other drug use and childhood depression, we found no significant associations between lifetime use of psychedelics and increased likelihood of past year serious psychological distress, mental health treatment, suicidal thoughts, suicidal plans and suicide attempt, depression and anxiety.

We failed to find evidence that psychedelic use is an independent risk factor for mental health problems. Psychedelics are not known to harm the brain or other body organs or to cause addiction or compulsive use; serious adverse events involving psychedelics are extremely rare. Overall, it is difficult to see how prohibition of psychedelics can be justified as a public health measure.

The study went on to point out that, “drug abuse experts consistently rank LSD and/or psilocybin mushrooms as much less harmful to the individual user and to society compared to alcohol and other controlled substances.”

Another study published in 2010 linked alcohol abuse to suicide and depression.

The government isn’t against all drugs, they shove drugs down your throat every day through your food, alcohol, and prescriptions. What the government is against is people thinking about the world differently and questioning the authority that they have been trained to live under.

Psychedelics can catalyze this thought process, and it is for this reason that the American government took quick action to make these substances illegal and to vilify them in the public arena.

These psychedelic compounds are so important that we cannot let them be suppressed in the extreme manner that we see in western culture. Psychedelics offer us a glimpse into the final frontier of humanity, the consciousness. With these substances, we can explore the human imagination for profound insight that will help us in our own personal lives and the bigger picture as well. We must push for new legitimate scientific research into the therapeutic uses for these drugs. These studies will prove, as they have in the past, that psychedelic compounds have many medical and spiritual uses that are necessary for our species to continue the evolution of our consciousness.

GrandIsland (#22) ----- mommy nature thins the herd of people that do stupid shit. It's my favorite part of legalizing drugs.

------------------

If I knew drug users would die I'd vote for legalization in a heartbeat.

But they don't die. All they do is impose a financial and emotional burden on the responsible and productive members of society.

They want the freedom to get high, but demand that the rest of us stay sober to take care of them when they f**k up.

misterwhite

Here we see our fake conservative duo 'out' themselves once again, --- but, of course, they don't have a clue they're doing it..

misterwhite claims that if we left drug users to die, he'd vote for legalization in a heartbeat.

"But they don't die. All they do is impose a financial and emotional burden on the responsible and productive members of society."

Conservatives, who ARE the responsive and productive members of our republic, do NOT WANT government medical schemes that rescue drug addicts from suicide attempts. -- Communitarian activists like misterwhite do...

They want the freedom to get high, but demand that the rest of us stay sober to take care of them when they f**k up.

Drug users want the freedom to get high, and don't give a f##k beyond that. -- Only bleeding heart liberals insist that the rest of us MUST be sober to take care of our 'comrades'..

Grandisland and misterwhite think they're fooling everybody here, when actually, they are the liberal fools...

"but weed is a waste of LE time. Trust me... I know."

Yeah. Just as pulling someone over for a busted tail light or changing lanes without signalling is a waste of time. Yet it's amazing what you find -- guns, warrants, DWI, illegal, no license, no insurance, etc. I'm sure you know that, too.

Society wants marijuana illegal. When they want it legal, they'll vote that way.

But the current situation has to end -- where it's illegal at the federal level and legal at the state level. President Trump needs to enforce the federal drug laws. If the people nationwide object, then let them vote for legalization. Or they can STFU.

Pete, it's not bullshit, a kid I knew when I was young killed himself while high. He was 13.

IF he knew what he was taking and took it intentionally,that was a rare incident. Every single suicide (walk out into traffic,jump out of windows,etc,etc,etc) that I ever heard of that was blamed on LSD were in cases where someone spiked someone else's drink or food with LSD,and didn't tell them they had done it. LSD trips could be some extremely scary stuff if you didn't know what was happening,and I am serious when I say anyone who does this to someone else needs to serve some hard prison time,even if nothing tragic happened THAT time.

Not to mention the fact that anyone who sold or gave LSD to ANY 13 year old,with or without permission,needs to be shot.

Also, did you know many blacks who used LSD?

I don't personally know of any who took it more than once. I have heard several make the comment "You white people are crazy if you take that LSD! That's some crazy stuff!",which implies they may have taken it at least once.

There are reasons it is a white peoples drug mostly.

Yes,but you can't mention them without being called a racist.

The funny thing is? The war on drugs does not change human behavior.

There will always be a percentage of people who will use and a bunch will be addicts. The war on drugs is an incredible waste of resources. Which is hilarious when people say the addict is going to cost society money if drugs are legalized. They pretend it will cost more if legalization occurs, common sense says otherwise.

Wait a minute - aren't conservatives supposed to be in favor of LIMITED government and personal responsibility?

How is waging an unconstitutional drug war that is a trillion-dollar failure considered to be a conservative position?

As far as personal responsibility, why is it that "conservatives" who want the government to stay out of the way and allow people to make their own choices in any other areas become authortiarians when a free American chooses to make his own decisions about the use of drugs?

Does the government own you GI?

Does the government own your body and have the authority to tell you what substances you may partake of?

The Conservative Case For Legalizing Marijuana

Conservatives pride themselves on resisting change, which is as it should be. But intelligent deference to tradition and stability can evolve into intellectual sloth and moral fanaticism, as when conservatives simply decline to look up from dogma because the effort to raise their heads and reconsider is too great.

The laws aren’t exactly indefensible, because practically nothing is, and the thunderers who tell us to stay the course can always find one man or woman who, having taken marijuana, moved on to severe mental disorder. But that argument, to quote myself, is on the order of saying that every rapist began by masturbating. General rules based on individual victims are unwise.

And although there is a perfectly respectable case against using marijuana, the penalties imposed on those who reject that case, or who give way to weakness of resolution, are very difficult to defend. If all our laws were paradigmatic, imagine what we would do to anyone caught lighting a cigarette, or drinking a beer. Or — exulting in life in the paradigm — committing adultery. Send them all to Guantanamo?

Legal practices should be informed by realities. These are enlightening, in the matter of marijuana. There are approximately 700,000 marijuana-related arrests made very year. Most of these — 87 percent — involve nothing more than mere possession of small amounts of marijuana. This exercise in scrupulosity costs us $10-15 billion per year in direct expenditures alone.

Most transgressors caught using marijuana aren’t packed away to jail, but some are, and in Alabama, if you are convicted three times of marijuana possession, they’ll lock you up for 15 years to life. Professor Ethan Nadelmann, of the Drug Policy Alliance, writing in National Review, estimates at 100,000 the number of Americans currently behind bars for one or another marijuana offense.

The war on drugs is.

Ten Ways the War On Drugs Violates the U.S. Constitution

The War on Drugs is an enemy to the rights and privacy of U.S. citizens everywhere. And this war not only targets guilty drug users or traffickers; it is also waged against innocent Americans who may think they are safe from draconian drug war policies.

This belief is a myth, and here's why: even if you don’t use marijuana, cocaine, pop pills or inject heroin—the drug war can still target you as a suspect. It doesn't matter if you're at work, picking up mail, applying for a job or even purchasing cold medicine at drug stores like CVS or Walgreens, the drug war has boldly established a 24-7 disturbing presence in the lives of American citizens.

The drug war is also responsible for the past and present illegal surveillance of people's cars and property and even plays a vital role in collecting information through illegal spying. The government's drug policies have unequivocally undermined basic civil rights and gutted the constitutional amendments. And it's not coincidental that much of the eroding civil rights in the "war on terror" came directly from the war on drugs.

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall once summed up the drug war by reminding his fellow justices that "there is no drug exception to the Constitution."

The drug war is a war on everyone. So who is the real enemy? Drugs are not the enemy because drugs are chemicals. We have a war on drugs no more than we have a war on fruit trees. Just read the Constitution and there's nothing in it that says our government can pass laws to prohibit citizens from injecting narcotics or smoking marijuana; our brains and bodies don't belong to the government.

Oh, here's a news flash for you - Democrats are just as much in favor of the unconstitutional drug war as Republicans.

It's about having control over the lives of American citizens.

Which is why most politicians become politicians in the first place.

So you believe that if we legalized all drugs and they were readily available (and cheap, naturally), the number of drug users and/or the amount of drugs consumed would not increase.

You must, since you believe our drug laws "do not change human behavior".

Shut your heroine hole.

If I were you, I'd try and get a refund on that GED you paid for.

Just a thought.

As far as the rest of your rant - as I tried to explain to you before, your "anecdotes" are not evidence that 90% of nationwide arrests are made from simple plain view arrests.

"Buckley considered himself a libertarian"

Yes he did.

He publicly stated many times he was both libertarian and conservative...

ROTFLOL!

In your simple minded cop-influenced world view, a person can't be both.

Of course a candidate can be a little of both... but my point (lost in your empty head) was that Buckley would have considered himself more libertarian than Republican/Conservative AND he would have run on the Libertarian ticket (like Rand would have) if it was possible to win while associated with that kook filled party.

Reagan was both... but more conservative than libertarian. He was a great president. Conservative with just the right amount of libertarian principles to keep him from being an LF KOOK.

"Good grief man, PCP is not even mentioned in that article."

Of course not. Not if the article is attempting to paint hallucinogens as "not bad for mental health".

But LSD, peyote, psilocybin, DMT and PCP are drugs that cause hallucinations.

Goldwater, Reagan, Buckley

It's a vast libertarian conspiracy, and Reagan was in on it! /s

Barry Goldwater was in favor of medical marijuana for Arizona.

The war on drugs does not change human behavior.

There will always be a percentage of people who will use and a bunch will be addicts. The war on drugs is an incredible waste of resources. Which is hilarious when people say the addict is going to cost society money if drugs are legalized. They pretend it will cost more if legalization occurs, common sense says otherwise.

misterwhite : -- So you believe that if we legalized all drugs and they were readily available (and cheap, naturally), the number of drug users and/or the amount of drugs consumed would not increase.

Before addictive drugs were criminalized, they were incredibly cheap, and sold by mail order to anyone. -- They were NOT a 'problem', -- although prohibitionists saw them as a political opportunity to gain power.

You must, since you believe our drug laws "do not change human behavior".

Prohibitions change human behavior by creating black markets

You spout nonsense like that and expect others to take you seriously? I sure as hell don't. --- misterwhite

What a howler, -- misterwhite imagines others here take his anti-constitutional opinions seriously?

I believe the number of addicts would stay the same.

I have seen no evidence to suggest otherwise. People become addicts because they are predisposed to it.

Regardless, it's really a moot point, in the first place, I am not a smug POS who feels like he has the right to tell another what they can put in their body. That POS would be you.
