The Psychedelic Comeback

Not everyone got to experience it but, we all know about it in some form. From the music that seems to come from another dimension, to the art that represents a different state of consciousness. We are talking about the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s, and it is making a comeback. The magical substances such as mushrooms, LSD, and Mescaline were being consumed all over the world. People not only wanted to enter into an alternate state of consciousness, they needed it.



Today’s Psychedelics

Anyone with experience with some form of psychedelic or another will tell you that they allow you to expand your mind. Many people will ask what does this mean. We all have a certain thought process we go through daily when presented with tasks and situations. The way we evaluate people, things, and situations is our thought process. Psychedelics open the mind and allow the user to evaluate things from a whole new perspective. Under the right conditions many people report lasting effects of elevated mood for days or weeks after a mild dose of a psychedelic like psilocybin mushrooms. Studies have shown that people were able to quit smoking tobacco or using harder drugs like heroin after a profound psychedelic trip. Very seldom does someone require drug rehab for the use of psychedelics.

Are Psychedelics Safe?

Although, there is still a stigma associated with psychedelics where some people that don’t fully understand them reject them. Psychedelics are fairly safe when compared to many other substances in use today. For example mushrooms have an LD50 of approximately 285mg/Kg meaning that a 180lb adult would have to consume nearly 50lbs of psilocybin alone to come close to death. The substance is not in question in most cases. There are situations where people can get sick with mushrooms. The illness is most often associated with the misidentification of the mushrooms in the wild. There are plenty of toxic mushrooms that grow next to the edible and magic mushrooms. Picking and consuming the wrong mushroom can lead to a slow and painful death. Picking wild mushrooms can be extremely dangerous and should only be done by those with the knowledge and experience to identify both toxic and non-toxic mushrooms.

Micro Dosing

There have been studies that show micro dosing with psychedelics can counter the effects of depression and anxiety in some patients. More studies are in progress to identify the benefits of medicinal use of psychedelics. This research has the potential to provide many people suffering from mental disorders, PTSD, anxiety, and depression in ways pharmaceuticals have not been able to do so and in a safe and natural way. Indigenous people of almost every continent have respected many psychedelics and revered them as medicine for thousands of years. Who are we to argue with thousands of years of research.
