Tripping on shrooms effective in treating anxiety, new study suggests - Polidicks

Tripping out on drugs makes you less stressed? Fuck I could of told you that.

[QUOTE=Mabus;24670711]He is not a friend, thank god. But he is a fella we know from drinking. I actually have never seen anyone use shrooms in a way you described, it could be the locality where I live. The ones we have do things to your mind, anybody who I have seen picking them always go crazy, it's not a mellow experience. They could be a different kind of fungi or something. Also funny story. Soon after he lost the fight with the tree he rang his brother saying that a black ford fiesta was after him, he told him that he would be next and to save himself, then he passed out under a park bench. It was fucking hilarious.[/QUOTE] There's only like an hour or two hour long period where I can't completely compose myself on mushrooms I'd say, especially when taking a mild to medium dose. I've been pretty fucked up on them, but its never enough to do something incredibly stupid. I've felt so unnatached by my body that I didn't feel like a person anymore. I have also been disgusted by my own penis horrified, I put my dick back in my pants after pissing and left the bathroom, trying to get the thought out of my head that I had some squishy tube of meat hanging off the side of my body. I've stared into a mirror on mushrooms and didnt recognize who I was looking at. I've laughed so hard at an old woman that I began to choke when I took a drink of cream soda, but besides that, nothing except maniacal laughter and loooking 'zoned out.' Im pretty sure the chemmical is the same, maybe the person you've seen is just affected by them differently, or he's just a fucking moron like I said earlier. I don't know.. All i know is that when it comes to potency, it isn't hard to make sure you dont have too much by accident.

So, I get a shroom trip, and my anxiety goes away. Fine, but, wont I get scared shitless to the point of dying if it goes too far? Like, seeing some weird funky scary shit?

[QUOTE=dass;24674827] Fine, but, wont I get scared shitless to the point of dying if it goes too far? Like, seeing some weird funky scary shit?[/QUOTE] Don't take enough to freak out. If you buy, let's say, a quarter of an ounce: Just eat a little bit and see how you feel. You won't freak out if you take a small amount. Eat a couple of caps &/or a few stems. Just experiment a little, and soon you'll be plunged into the surreal, fucked up world of psychedelia. Just be forewarned though, coming up is often uncomfortable, personally I experience anxiety in the first half hour, and then once I am peaking, Im left with a calm, relaxed, spacey sort of feel. It may not help your anxiety at all, or it may completely fix it. Psychedelics effect everyone differently, just like any other drug, the way I find a drug will be different than you.

Any drug can be good, but like what Leonardo said to Ezio. "A medicine can become poison if taken in high doses."

The only drug I can't see being used for medicinal purposes is meth.

Still don't like this, there has to be a more effective way of helping people without turning to drugs.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;24685252]You use medicine right? Medicine is a drug whether you like it or not.[/QUOTE] I fucking hate it... But I understand that I need it, and without it I make some very retarded decisions. Such as running across I-95 at rush hour (I'm fat by the way)

[QUOTE=bravehat;24665032]Heroin is used as a painkiller in hospitals, cocaine is used in membrane surgery, LSD was first synthesised in a lab and was proven by the CIA to increase creativity, concentration and problem solving capability. Fancy denying cancer patients something that could comfort them in their dying days? cunt move that is bro. And finally people aren't being pussies about drugs and the research now, research on LSD is opening back up as well now :v:[/QUOTE] If I had cancer, I wouldn't want to spend my last days completely whacked.

leave it to Prismatex to post up awesome DD related articles plus if this goes through, i will very much consider this

I'm all for the medical use of drugs, I just don't think they should become recreational.

[QUOTE=UnknownDude;24664805]Drugs are bad. Mmmmkay?[/QUOTE] everyone posts this quote in every thread about drugs and it has never, ever been funny

[QUOTE=MovingSalad;24664514]They've known that psilocybin an treat all sorts of mental illnesses, aswell as exxagerate them aswell, depending on the individual. Not enough is known about this wonderful chemical. Psilocybin, the active hallucinogenic chemical found in 'shrooms', can be used in minute doses to cure Migraine headaches. To this date we do not have many different prescriptions that combat the pain brought on by migraines, but yet the legality of psilocybin remains the same. Science and law are not synonymous, sadly.[/QUOTE] It is not even allowed for medical purposes? I approve to medical use of drugs, but I don't think they should be used by public.

Not to mention, as [b]every single god damn anti drug poster NEVER REALIZES, drug use goes [u]DOWN[/u] when drugs are legalized.[/b] [editline]01:17PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr_Funk;24685335]If I had cancer, I wouldn't want to spend my last days completely whacked.[/QUOTE] That's you, if I had cancer, I'd spend what time I could doing everything I could hope to want to do. [editline]01:19PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Swilly;24685236]Still don't like this, there has to be a more effective way of helping people without turning to drugs.[/QUOTE] There's nothing wrong with people doing drugs for fucks sakes. There's a difference between doing drugs and being a drug addict and no one seems to get that. Weed, LSD, Shrooms, MDMA, etc are all non addictive and aren't terribly/at all damaging to the body.

[QUOTE=Swilly;24685236]Still don't like this, there has to be a more effective way of helping people without turning to drugs.[/QUOTE] Drugs are used by so many of the world to fix things that couldn't be solve otherwise. Sure, psychotherapy and meditation might help people suffering from anxiety, but why not turn to proved chemical methods of fixing things. Its legality shouldn't change the medicinal use of something, the vocabulary shouldn't change from 'cure' to 'drug.'

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;24692778]No one has a right to use their body right? [/QUOTE] I don't think the government should be encouraging any more harmful shit.

[QUOTE=Swilly;24685236]Still don't like this, there has to be a more effective way of helping people without turning to drugs.[/QUOTE] but wouldn't a naturally occuring drug be a lot more safer than chemically made drugs that are very similiar to heroin or meth? tbh i dont typically like taking a high dosage of mushrooms. i like to take small doses and smoke some weed, it makes everything very happy. (as the article states)

drugs every day COCAINE COCAINE do some shrooms adn weed 420 every day u hear me brothers yaaa fuck the poloice [img]http://www.kinkfm.com/images/image/bob_marley.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;24694831]I don't think the government should be encouraging any more harmful shit.[/QUOTE] So, the government, by giving you the right to your own body, is encouraging drug use? I see. No, let me simplify this for you. As it is right now, drugs are illegal for many reasons, the [u]last[/u] of which is health concerns. As for it being morally wrong? That's also bullshit. There is no problem with recreational drug use when it's responsible. Drug users can, and often are, responsible. It's drug addicts that are not, and there's not a gigantic overlap of the two. There's also the huge problem of keeping it illegal. People will do it whether you want them to or not, why not just legalize it, educate, and tax it so you don't have these issues. If you actually taught people about drugs and drug culture rather than this DARE, and Above the Influence bullshit which is almost entirely wrong on every count, you'd lower drug use and drug abuse.

I don't think psychedelic drugs are a stable or feasible way of treating anxiety. effects vary between people and having hallucinations isn't very safe for every day activity.

[editline]10:52PM[/editline] You think you're a good troll? Oh wait, maybe you're trolling me with that statement. crafty man :cop:[/QUOTE] Sub trip doses are whats used to treat. You don't hallucinate on sub trip doses and they still give you those benefits. LSD in sub dose amounts causes no hallucinations, but helps cure cluster headaches, i imagine it's the same way with this.

As long as there's no damage of any sort. We've already got effective medicines for both, though. Unfortunately with almost any manufactured medicine you get charged out the ass for it (not that they are worth anywhere near that much).

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;24696635]As long as there's no damage of any sort.[/QUOTE] There isn't, neither LSD nor Psilocybin mushrooms cause physical ahrm to the body, apart froom possible physical discomfort while experiencing the effects of the drug.

[QUOTE=MovingSalad;24696681]There isn't, neither LSD nor Psilocybin mushrooms cause physical ahrm to the body, apart froom possible physical discomfort while experiencing the effects of the drug.[/QUOTE] In small doses. If you're getting any visual effects, it'll be unsafe to do just about anything that a normal person would need to do in their average day. Don't confuse medicinal benefits with recreational use.

I would never take drugs to help me
