LSD -new research

hope you are able to access this article on our aussie site The Guardian https://ablink.editorial.theguardian...y_hApnIcqlC9vw

new research into LSD and its therapeutic effects of "loosening" the brains tighter controls on how we perceive and respond to incoming data. [nothing really new in that Huxley discovered that with Mescaline] but also suggests it may be therapeutic for certain brain illnesses including PTSD?

I would love to give it a try - under controlled conditions that is - with loving kind doctors and nurses

Bugger the controls and the research, I'd just love to get some more of my drug of choice in the 60/70s (don't tell my kids - actually it's OK the older ones know anyway).

Hi

I wouldn't.

I have severe and complex PTSD.

That does not mean that I am a danger to anyone, my PTSD is not of that type.

Mine is a common subset, which means I blame myself for what has happened to others.

Mind altering medicines work with some forms of PTSD, they do not work with my type

I need to learn how to forget things.

This requires a different approach.

I am very laid back when it comes to anyone threatening me, I know I can cope with it.

The problem is when someone threatens others, especially women and kids.

I do tend to react to that.

Re: LSD -new research

I'd be quite scared of trying that! I don't even like feeling drunk, so heaven knows what kind of experience LSD would have on me! As I understand it, your personality determines your experience on LSD, and my dreams at night are vivid enough, thanks, so its not for me

1963 for me. Had to grow my own Peyote cactus. Only did it once and it was interesting.

I've got a mint set of 1970 pre-decimal coins somewhere. It was a 21st birthday prezzie from my maternal granddad.

As for LSD and other drugs, not for me, thank you very much. I don't even like getting drunk.
