the class of psychedelics has been been touched by the medical community, specifically at Harbor UCLA. albert hofman, the founder of LSD, once stated that he developed the drug to help one find themselves; however, if it is misused, it can kill you.
...so, is this an agent of healing
or destruction?
the answer: both.
oceanic boundlessness is created when one feels at peace during use. the frontal part of our brain (f. cortex - which regulates our sense of self) functions, while the rational side (amygdala) shuts down-- causing a sense of personal euphoria.
i feel that as long as use serves a medical/spiritual purpose AND the individual is being supervised, especially since the amygdala is in non-use... then i am okay with it. hallucinogens are no joke, and when you throw the ability to reason out of the equation-- uh yea, that is when all hell breaks loose, as it can create an unsafe enviornment.
all in all, i am happy that our creator's chemical compounds/properties are being explored for it's uses... and overall, i support anything that will make this world a better place for those who are in need.
