Chapter 1: The Truth Concerning Drugs
Many of my true life circumstances concern the use of numerous types of drugs. I have completed a lot of research concerning this social issue for another detailed manuscript. Think how much better society would be if alcohol had been made illegal and marijuana legal. There have been thousands upon thousands of alcohol related deaths. The only thing worse than getting off heroin is alcohol. Heroin addicts want to die going through cold withdrawal, true alcoholics will. Nobody has ever died from marijuana, as you’ll read, it used to be a widely prescribed and valuable medicine. The following is very factual information.
From 1850 to 1936 Cannabis was used as the primary medicine for more than 100 separate illnesses and diseases in the U.S. according to the web sources. I found heroin, marijuana, opium, and cocaine were made illegal in the early 1900s for various reasons, mostly related to economics and cultural prejudice rather than addiction or health risks. Some of the factors that influenced the prohibition of these drugs were: The association of opium with Chinese immigrants, who were considered a threat to the labor market and social order. The first anti-opium laws in the 1870s were directed at the Chinese. The Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914 regulated the production & distribution of opiate-containing substances, and was later used to prosecute doctors who prescribed opiates to addicts. The association of cocaine with Black Men in the South, who were perceived as violent and aggressive under the influence of the drug. The first anti-cocaine laws in the early 1900s were directed at the Southern Blacks. Cocaine was also considered a threat to the economic interests of white employers and plantation owners. The association of marijuana with Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans, who were blamed for social problems and crime. The first anti-marijuana laws, in the Midwest and the Southwest in the 1910s and 20s, were directed at Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans. Marijuana was also demonized by media campaigns that linked it to violence, insanity, and moral decay.
These ethnic groups could not be arrested for cheap labor, but can now for illegal drugs. These drugs were made illegal not for the good of society but because of cultural prejudice and economics.
Rick Simpson is a Canadian engineer and cannabis activist. He developed a cannabis oil product called Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) which contains higher levels of THC than other medical cannabis extracts. After being diagnosed with skin cancer in 2003, he began applying RSO to the cancerous spots on his face and neck. According to Simpson, the spots healed within a few days. If memory serves me correctly, he sent cannabis treatments to a man in the U.S. who had a stage 4 cancer. He’s a big man,6ft 4in, normal weight of 240 lbs. He was down to 140 lbs. The treatments cured him.
I honestly feel the government should make all drugs legal. This would take them out of the control of organized crime. The revenue generated would pay for sanatoriums to help addicts. If you can’t handle your drug of choice in society, you’ll receive the highest professional treatment for free.
Concerning what many believe to be one of the worst drugs known, LSD. There has never been any deaths associated with LSD toxicity. In other words, no one has ever died from an LSD overdose. I have never advocated anyone to take the drug. I haven’t taken any psychedelics in over 15 years, at my age there is no longer a want or need. That being said, I will offer my personal experiences. I have tripped hundreds of times and was always alone. For me, it has always been a very rewarding spiritual experience, I would say a little prayer before ingesting. From an economic standpoint, it is extremely cheap. For $5.00 the high lasts about 8 hours. When in a controlled setting, like being at home listening to favorite music, the sensations are wonderful. Imagine sound turning to color, beautiful patterns and shapes appearing in everything you look upon. I would truly experience a blissful state that was incredible. When it was legal, the military gave it to volunteers to see if their deadly combat skills improved. That didn’t work, soldiers would end up singing in trees, smiling constantly at flowers or looking at the stars and universe. I’ve been playing chess since I was 13 and am still just average. On LSD, I was unbeatable. It activates brain receptors that are normally used when dreaming.
The following is from the Microsoft Bing search engine.
LSD is a popular psychedelic drug that alters the state of your mind in significant ways. This potent drug binds to specific brain cell receptors and alters how the brain responds to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates emotions, moods, and perceptions. By binding to these receptors, LSD modifies neural pathways, producing visual hallucinations and altering the perception of things such as sound and time. Microdosing LSD involves taking a very small dose of the substance, usually around 5-10% of the amount necessary to induce psychoactive effects. Advocates of LSD microdosing claim that the practice has numerous health benefits, such as improving cognition and mood, reducing pain, and helping to treat depression and addiction. Some preliminary research and anecdotal evidence suggest that microdosing LSD may have numerous benefits. These include the ability to enhance cognitive processes and abilities, increase energy levels, improve emotional balance and mood, reduce anxiety, help treat depression, and help treat addiction and reduce substance misuse.
Direct toxicity: Unlike some other drugs, LSD itself is not considered highly toxic. There is no known lethal dose of LSD. Accidental harm: accidents can occur due to impaired judgment and altered perception while under the influence of LSD. Impurities: Street LSD may contain impurities or other substances, which could pose risks. Bad trips: LSD can induce intense anxiety, panic, and paranoia. A bad trip can lead to dangerous behavior or self-harm. Flashbacks: Some users experience hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, where they have visual disturbances even after the drug has worn off. Suicide risk: While LSD itself doesn’t directly cause suicide, it can exacerbate existing mental health issues. Rare Fatalities: There have been cases of people accidentally harming themselves while under the influence of LSD. Indirect causes: Some fatalities are indirectly related to LSD use, such as accidents during a trip or risky behavior. Unpredictable reactions: Individual reactions to LSD vary, and some people may have severe adverse reactions.
Overall Risk: Considering the millions of doses of LSD consumed over decades, the overall risk of death is extremely low. Responsible use: Proper mindset and peaceful settings are crucial to minimizing risks.
There has been growing interest in using hallucinogens for therapeutic purposes, particularly in the treatment of mental health conditions. Here are some notable developments: Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research:This center is at the forefront of exploring innovative treatments using psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in “magic mushrooms.” Researchers there are studying the effects of psilocybin on the brain and its potential as a therapeutic option for mental illnesses. Studies have shown that psilocybin, when administered in regulated settings, can reduce anxiety in cancer patients and facilitate smoking cessation. DMT Trials: DMT, a powerful hallucinogenic drug, is being trialed as a potential cure for depression. Participants receive DMT followed by talking therapy, offering an alternative for those who don’t respond to conventional antidepressant medications. Imperial Psychopharmacology & Psychedelic Research Clinic: Located in London, this clinic is an offset of Imperial College’s Centre for Psychedelic Research. It’s involved in research on psychedelics and their potential therapeutic applications.
LSD and Psychedelic Research History: In the 1980s and 90s, psychedelics like LSD were studied for treating personality disorders, alcohol use disorder, and neurosis. Rigorous scientific research is now being conducted to explore the safety and efficacy of psychedelics in mental health settings.
I have never experienced a bad trip and there have been no flashbacks. What is crucial is being in a calm environment. I feel hallucinogens would greatly help heroin and fentanyl addicts. They are not addictive at all and offer states of beauty and peace. Opiates deaden, psychedelics enhance.
