LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?

I have never taken LSD - but I have friends who did - believe me, not a good thing!

Alcohol and LSD are both "drugs" in their own right. I don't know about you - but I would think it would be that old saying of "choosing between the two evils!"

dumb joke

LSD is not the reason people end up institutionalized. They were going to be sooner or later, LSD just expedited the inevitable

lsd makes you happy so should help with alc

A bullet to the head would pretty much serve the same purpose as LSD. If you want to treat alcoholism, maybe you could try not drinking.

I am pretty sure that LSD is not addictive. I have used it quite often as of late. I have never suffered from withdrawls ... However, I have suffered sleep deprivation! Lol. I never want it to end, so I stay awake as long as I can. I have also noticed that I can drink like a fish while on it and not really feel any effects of the alcohol.

Oh,yeah,you're going to be fine. I see a long and productive life ahead for you.

Were you there?

I agree with you but I wouldn't stand on the corner and try and score some.

Some people have an extreme fear of death.
I don't, though I'm not interested in the prospect currently.
The fear of death drives a whole host of human behavior.
That's a whole different thread.

Yup! 'cuz I said I use it ALL the time, didn't I? No, in fact, it rarely comes around in my area. I usually get to do it once a year if I am lucky. Your snooty remark would have, maybe, held some weight if I had said that I sit in my basement and drop acid ALL THE TIME mmmaaaann! Yeah! Whhooo! Alas, that is not what I said. You just make yourself out to look like a little bitch. I bet saying that made you feel so much better about yourself huh? That's okay. If that's how you gotta act to help get you through your day, it's whatever. If you have never tried acid, you are missing out on a very, very awesome experience.

I am sorry about the loss of your brother. Many sailors were exposed to toxins aboard ship. Even now they have illnesses that stand out amount the veteran community.

Using LSD for treatment is conducted under controlled circumstances and the direction of an psychiatrist. It isn't just dropping hits on your own.

The book Acid dreams recounts a lot if the history which you touch upon. This includes the heavy research conducted by the CIA.

Gotta get me some of that. Then my life too will be awesome and meaningful.

Alcoholism is a broad term for problems with alcohol, and is generally used to mean compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcoholic beverages, usually to the detriment of the drinker's health, personal relationships, and social standing. It is medically considered a disease, specifically an addictive illness. In psychiatry several other terms are used, specifically "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence," which have slightly different definitions.

I was told Huxley was a chemist at the University of Illinois in the 60s. He was purportededededed (trails) to have made some very good shit. Kind of like psychedelic trips to the center of your mind.

Very enjoyable but I never understood why anyone ever thought it had any intrinsic benefits. Everyone I knew stopped when they started to believe they were losing their minds. And some of them did.

will make you have naked babies

I can imagine that it can. And then leave you with another problem or two.

Leary was working for the MKultra scumbags.


LSD was intended for mind control.

Unfortunately, many serious conditions are blamed incorrectly on prior drug use, which often delays diagnosis.

I don't think there's any question that HPPD is a genuine clinical phenomenon," says Charles Grob, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA's medical school who does research with hallucinogens.

However, how many people are truly affected remains unknown. In a 2002 review of the scientific literature on HPPD over the last 50 years, psychiatrist John Halpern and his co-authors found most studies provided too little information to estimate the prevalence "even crudely" of HPPD in the population. "It is often unclear whether symptoms occurred exclusively following hallucinogen intoxication," they write. "It is also difficult to rule out other medical or psychiatric conditions that might cause 'flashbacks', including current intoxication with another drug, neurological conditions, current psychotic or affective disorders, malingering, hypochondriasis, or even other anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."

a large number of people are drawn to drug use as an effort to self medicate conditions they are developing or are already exhibiting. If you find yourself using any substance frequently, one of the first questions you should ask yourself is "why?"

Drug use is all to often treated as the core problem, when it is only a symptom.

Back in the late 60's my buddies dad was a heavy binge drinker (a very serious alcoholic). He'd drank for several days with little to no food...long story short...Yes he (my buddy) slipped his dad Blotter-Acid (LSD on a piece of paper into his fathers beer. His dad had no knowledge of the spike. He quit drinking in about an hour...had a little trip. After he came down he stopped drinking started back to church until his next drunk 3-4 month. If you take a strong enough LSD hit it will or can alter the way you perceive things. Research Alcoholism while your high it may help and look at your life and Like Woo! I am a drunken alcoholic.. If you sit around and enjoy your LSD high it won't do shit. If you have never taken it before you should be in a good frame of mind and stay away from straight people or you may freak out (have a bummer). Enjoy what LSD is and what it will do to you and try not to freak-out. A good acid- mind altering-trip lasts for maybe 8 hour or so. All of my friends that started off drinking then went to drugs LSD stop dropping drugs and still alcoholics today.

Again, LSD is a counterfeit for the real thing.

I spent several years working with people who used acid back in the day. Many of them still having flashbacks and unable to work or function in what we laughingly call 'reality'.

Just my 2 cents worth.

The British sent Aldous Huxley to the United States as the case officer for an operation to help prepare the United States for the mass dissemination of drugs.

I wanna hear...THIS STORY!!!

LSD cured my crohns disease and opiate addiction.

Lsd will come to you if you need it. It works that way.

Love and respect to all the disbelievers - you will need it.

Its just a vasoconstrictive drug that works well on some types of migraines. Hippies think it makes them see things.

Zing!
