Also in 2016, researchers at Imperial College London released what they say is the first modern brain imaging of people taking LSD. Researchers gave 20 people the drug and scanned their brains. They found that during the psychedelic state, volunteers processed information from many parts of their brain, not just the visual cortex as normally…
The only model I can see is one that, presumably through tax incentives, facilitates development of small, not-for profit membership organizations that have both (a) the ability to monitor use by individual members and (b) the ability either (1) to cultivate/manufacture their own ‘products’ [I use that term deliberately] or (2) the ability to purchase…
…and then tried to prevent the man’s parents from finding out what happened … The Dallas County District Attorney … found sufficient evidence to file criminally negligent homicide charges against Mesquite officers for shocking Dyer in the testicles and failing to restrain the disoriented man — but the three-year statute of limitations had already passed.…
The court’s decision hinged on a question: Would a scientific assessment of LSD’s risk-profile—an evaluation of how harmful and toxic the drug is—warrant lowering the penalty? … Scientific reasoning not only won the day, but also the future.

It was the first controlled trial of the drug in over 40 years. And…
The decision comes from one particular LSD case making it all the way to Supreme Court … Looking at [the] case, the Supreme Court took into consideration that he had no prior criminal record, and deemed the doses of LSD in his possession were meant for personal use to facilitate meditation and introspection. According…
Healthy volunteers were injected with LSD while lying in an MRI scanner, and subjected to several other neuroimaging methods at the same time. This amounted to an arsenal of measurement that previous decades of psychedelic researchers could only dream of. Humans have gathered, cultivated, distilled, and manufactured all kinds of drugs for thousands of years.…
Two decades’ worth of clinical research was first ignored and then forgotten; laboratories and careers were shut down; the War on Drugs claimed thousands of psychiatric patients as the first of its many civilian casualties. If you’ve been paying attention recently you’ll know we are in the midst of a Psychedelic Renaissance, discovering the clinical…
This study was approved by the National Research Ethics Service (NRES) committee London – West London and was conducted in accordance with the revised declaration of Helsinki (2000), the International Committee on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and National Health Service (NHS) Research Governance Framework. Imperial College London sponsored the research which was conducted…
“Drug experts consistently rank LSD and psilocybin mushrooms as much less harmful to the individual user and to society compared to alcohol and other controlled substances.” These words from a study by Norway’s Research Council mimic the self-reported effects of psychoactives, as well: Most users report deep or meaningful experiences while using LSD or mushrooms.…
