Interesting quotes

"Our completed Phase 2 pilot study in 12 subjects found positive trends in the reduction of anxiety following two LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions. The study results also indicate that LSD-assisted psychotherapy can be safely administered in these subjects, and justify further research."

"LSD is known for its ability to catalyze spiritual or mystical experiences and to facilitate feelings of interconnection. MAPS is interested in these substances for their potential to help people with a variety of conditions, focusing primarily on the treatment of anxiety associated with life-threatening illness, as well as for spiritual uses, creativity, and personal growth."

Further investigation into LSD, aiding progression into mental health and psychotherapy. This could link to my CoP project showing the possible applications of LSD in non recreational settings. 

The only way we can truly know if a substance does harm or good across the entire spectrum of possibilities, is by investigating into it. this research cannot be carried out unless its legal to do so, and mad available to medical sciences. only with further research into these banned psychoactive drugs could we see further potential in terms of creativity and conciseness
