Thread: LSD Returns - For Psychotherapeutics

Article

I say it's about damned time.

Begun in 2008, the study intends to treat 12 patients (eight who will receive LSD and four a placebo).

I would be so sad if I signed up for the study and got the placebo I'd know it in a second.

yea, don't think the placebo will be very meaningful in this experiment

Yeah, wow. About time is right. I was reading the book "The Holographic universe" by Michael Talbot not to long ago. And i remember he went into detail about the work of Dr. Stanislav Grof, Who administered LSD to patients as a psychotherapeutic tool and recorded their thoughts for the entire session. Grof was blown away by the findings on how well his patients paralled what they regressed to.


heres an example out of the book:

During the course of her hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed description of what it felt like to be encapsulated in such a form, but noted that the portion of the male of the species anatomy was a patch of colored scales on the side of its head. What was startling to Grof was that although the woman had no prior knowledge about such things, a conversation with a zoologist later confirmed that in certain species of reptiles colored areas on the head do indeed play an important role as triggers of sexual arousal

^^^ That's fuckin hot.
