The study [Neuroscientists at King’s College London and Oxford University and published in the Journal of Neuroscience] aimed to investigate the effect of MDMA on decision-making behaviour. MRI machines were used to scan the brains of the participants, finding that MDMA can help people to become more cooperative by creating greater activity in specific areas of the brain such…
Oregon Flower : Bee visits Douglas Iris The new… [charity], which is supported by police and the council, follows other European countries, where drugs can be tested anonymously without fear of prosecution … The… lab, which was set up [in June 2018] in Bristol, is able to test the strength and quality of drugs provided to…
“We’re not sure what to say about this result. Plant-based and fungal materials pose special challenges. Ergosterol is a substance that is present in the cell membranes of fungi.” EcstasyData entry shows a brown, yellow and off-white dried fungal matter that was sourced in Dallas, TX as “Psilocybe cubensis grown with DiPT,” but which tested as nothing more…
This particular study in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (NOTE : led by graduate student Lauren Smith ofThe Scripps Research Institute) produced results that join another study in the same journal, Journal of the American Chemical Society) (NOTE : led by a Dr. Andrew Kruegel Ph.D. of Columbia University). [The Scripps study reported]… None of the mice died…
“It was a very simple, non-replicated experiment that showed flies can live in and emerge from these [psilocybin containing] mushrooms,” says Bryn Dentinger, the study’s lead author and mycology curator at the Natural History Museum of Utah. “So I don’t think that, the insecticidal property, we can’t rule it out entirely, but it’s clearly not…
“Importantly, as commonly used in raw plant form, it does not appear to produce the… lethal respiratory depressing effects of classical opioids.” The group included researchers and scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and the University of Florida. “It is our collective judgment that placing kratom into Schedule I will potentially increase the number…
The only reference to psilocybin on the Food and Drug Administration’s website appears in the agency’s Bad Bug Book: Handbook of Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins, where the psychedelic compound is described as a “neurotoxin” found in mushrooms. The FDA’s dueling portrayals of psilocybin as a scary fungal neurotoxin and a promising treatment for depression…
This present research focuses on the effect of LSD on alcohol intake in a two-bottle choice drinking paradigm in C57BL/6J mice, an inbred alcohol-preferring strain (Melo et al., 1996). In the group treated with 50 μg/kg LSD, mean daily ethanol consumption was 13.62 ± 3.02 g/kg/day compared to 16.60 ± 3.52 g/kg/day (mean ± SD)…
*mushroom picture not for identification purposes So if the called-for reclassification does indeed take place, psilocybin would go from being treated like an outlawed narcotic to – basically – a prescription sleeping pill. “We should be clear that psilocybin is not without risks of harm, which are greater in recreational than medical settings,” Johnson says.…
*”the cicadas walk around as if nothing’s wrong even though a third of their body has fallen off (and they are in the process of dying, while infecting those around them)” *warning : using psilocybin in combination with amphetamines is NOT recommended. Potential negative side-effects are extreme. The team took great pains to check that Massospora [pictured above] really does contain…
