Is LSD Good for You?
 |
As the FDA paves the way for clinical LSD trials, scientists are exploring its medical benefits. Is acid the new Xanax? Plus, from Angelina to The Beatles, a gallery of celebrity trippers.
Bob Wold doesn't seem like your typical acid tripper. A happily married 56-year-old contractor with four kids who lives the suburbs of Chicago, he had never considered taking psychedelic drugs until about 10 years ago. At the time, he was suffering from cluster headaches—known as “suicide” headaches because they’re so painful—for 12 hours a day, and he was spending more than $20,000 a year on medication. Then he read a post on a support-group Web site from someone who said they’d found a miracle cure for their own cluster headaches: LSD.
Wold decided to try it. "Compared to brain surgery,” he says, “taking a couple hits of LSD looked a lot more attractive.” But ever since a bust of the country’s biggest LSD lab nine years ago, the drug has become much harder to find. So Wold got his hands on the closest equivalent he could think of: psilocybin “magic” mushrooms (though he has since switched to LSD, which he says works better). The psychedelics arrived in a brown box at his doorstep from a long-distance dealer. He took one dose: about 1.5 grams. "In 15 minutes I could feel the difference,” he says. “My head was clearer than it had probably been in the past 20 years. Other medications felt like they were just covering it up.” But on acid, “All the pressure was gone."
Thanks Hana!

in liquid form the dose is so small, it would be stupid wasting your time even putting it in a syringe?
if you shoot it up
and only if you do so with extremely large amounts
to those who say it's a small dose of mushrooms- for the tripping effect it is but that's not what he wants to do. though i agree and think it should be legal because we should be able to decide for ourselves what we do, it's not gonna become legal without a good reason
Dont know if it was good for me 20-30 years ago but heh it was one hell of an experience. Glad that I didn't miss that one.
Docs, and hippies, all know that LSD cannot kill you, only your mind can. I only recommend someone taking this much lsd if you know how to control your own mind.
Sorry all you straight edgers, lsd, mushrooms, peyote, all hallucinogenic plants are here for a reason, an that reason is to help you remember who and what you are.
Yes, ergotamines were definitely researched for headache remedies and are still available from Sandoz.
LSD was invented while the researcher was attempting to find a cure for the common COLD.It WAS NOT invented to treat migraines though it was discovered early on that it DID help with that condition.LSD was a misguided attempt to cure the cold.And I thank Dr Hoffman for making that mistake.I have done LOTS of acid in my time and never once did I have what you could call a "bad" trip.some weird and unusual trips yes but none I would call "bad"
Any one who is intreaseted in the history should read LSD my problem child by Albert Hoffman, the inventor of LSD. And LSD is measured in grams, well micro grams.
lsd = mankind's gift to mankind, lol
"^ yes, if you obtain improperly synthesized lsd, or if you can't handle it. This drug is not meant to treat people with psychological problems, which often manifest themselves in physical forms. The physiological and the psychological are too entwined in the brain to differentiate, so to attempt to make a distinction is futile and stupid."
--------------------------------------------------------
If the physiological and psychological aspects of the 'brain or 'mind' were too entwind to differentiate, then why do thousands of highly qualified Psychologists specialise in various parts of one or the other?! The fact that there are two names for the lump of electrically charged fat, nerve endings etc. in our heads gives this away a little - there is the brain (physiological) and the mind (psychological) and we are most certainly able to differentiate, without it being futile or stupid - such a statement is ignorant of the basics of Psychology.
Oh and "This drug is not meant to treat people with psychological problems, which often manifest themselves in physical forms" would that not be making a distinction between the two? Or do I misunderstand your babbling statement? Were you in fact attempting to say something wholly sensible?!
Enjoy the depression that you risk obtaining with a single usage of LSD. The effects LSD has on the brain (physiologically, I'm not even talking psychologically yet) may surprise you. ^ yes, if you obtain improperly synthesized lsd, or if you can't handle it. This drug is not meant to treat people with psychological problems, which often manifest themselves in physical forms. The physiological and the psychological are too entwined in the brain to differentiate, so to attempt to make a distinction is futile and stupid. Like any other drug, LSD needs to be approached with an open mind when it comes to research, and as long as we have the 'addiction is a disease' mentality, we will lose a great deal of possible treatments for diseases, especially ones that are currently considered untreatable.
ecstasy and LSD now that's a good time.
