6 Psychedelics drugs with most amazing facts.

                              Despite the fact that the hallucinogenic or psychedelic substances considered dangerous, belonging to the first section of the list of substances subject to strict control "no currently accepted medical use." Nevertheless, some researchers have tried and are trying to study their effects in the hope of developing a qualitatively new drugs. Meanwhile, the information that these experts have received as a result of long-term studies, is in a surprising and promising picture. Of course, psychedelic research understandably severely limited. In order to carry out any authorized research, the researchers have to spend huge amounts of money and go through a lot of bureaucratic red tape circles. However, for many years, eventually they managed sobrattseluyu database, indicating that many psychedelics have unprecedented potential for the treatment of cancer, harmful addictions and trauma, among other disorders.

These are some of the most amazing facts that are already known to those skilled psychedelics: 



1. LSD can alleviate the condition of elderly and terminally ill people Results of the first clinical study of the therapeutic use of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) for the treatment of humans have been published in peer-reviewed scientific publication Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease in March this year. They showed that LSD may contribute to a statistically significant reduction in anxiety in people trying to come to terms with his own impending death. The Swiss psychiatrist Peter Gasser and his colleagues conducted an experiment, based on a double-blind method, when the experimenter is not known which of the subjects related to the control group ( receiving the drug), and who - to the experimental (receiving placebo), sponsored by the non-profit association of multidisciplinary research of psychedelic drugs MAPS. They observed 12 people who were on the verge of death, and passed psychotherapeutic treatment with the use of LSD. In his report, Gasser concluded that the level of anxiety in the subjects' decreased and stabilized. "


2. Psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, is actually calms rather than stimulates certain brain functions is generally accepted that psychedelics have some additional impact to trigger your own effects - increase the activity, create hallucinations, sharpen the consciousness, etc. The study, which considered the results of the brain scintigraphy people under the influence of psilocybin found that it reduces the activity of certain brain areas. This leads to a decrease in the activity of the drug effects on cognition and memory. Psychedelics psilocybin and, in particular, is actually able to eliminate "noise" in the brain.


 3. The drug MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as ecstasy, or by Molly) contributes to the release of "love hormone" oxytocin, which can help treat such severe disorders like PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) and social anxiety in autism Before the federal government has brought the drug in a controlled substance, therapists experimenting with MDMA since the 1970s to help ease mild depression and anxiety among their adult patients. When the substance has gained widespread recreational use, it attracted the attention of authorities, and MDMA was declared illegal in 1985. However, studies that initially supported the MAPS, continued to produce positive results for the potential therapeutic use of the drug. Various clinical trials and statistical studies suggest that MDMA can successfully treat post-traumatic stress in war veterans and others. One example is the clinical experience under by Michael Mithofera that used psychotherapy in conjunction with MDMA to treat chronic post-traumatic stress disorder. a 2009 study offers a plausible explanation for the effectiveness of MDMA in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Randomizirovannoy placebo-controlled experiment double-blind studies involving 15 healthy subjects confirmed that MDMA causes the brain to produce oxytocin, which is a human hormone that binds to the sense of love and compassion. The MAPS recently received government approval to launch a new study on the potential of MDMA treatment social anxiety in autistic adults. Based on the known effects of MDMA, as well as individual reports, this preliminary study will focus on improving functional skills and the quality of life of autistic adults with social anxiety disorder.

4. Psilocybin can destroy addiction to smoking Professor of Medical Faculty of the University of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, Matthew Johnson, he presented the preliminary results of the feasibility analysis on the study of psilocybin's ability to deliver on the addiction to smoking in Auckland on Psychedelic Science 2013 conference of the year, California. During the investigation five smokers underwent placebo-controlled treatment based on taking psilocybin and psychiatric sessions. All five completely stopped smoking after the first use of psilocybin. All subsequent sessions that proodili up to a year later, with the help of analyzes have confirmed that the participants really refrain from smoking.

5. Ayahuasca can treat drug dependency and perhaps more Ayahuasca - a drink that is made ​​from vines Caapi Banisteriopsis, originally used in spiritualistic and therapeutic purposes, and growing in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. Vine is usually mixed with leaves containing psychedelic dimethyltryptamine. The doctor from Vancouver Gabor Mate, a well-known researcher of Ayahuasca, argues that therapy using psychedelics, and Ayahuasca in particular, may help to unravel the most complex subconscious psychological stresses. He states that these stresses are at the heart of all of chronic diseases -. Cancer and addictions to depression and multiple sclerosis Results of the first North American observational study to ensure the safety and long-term effectiveness of treatment of drug addiction and dependence using Ayahuasca have been published in the journal in June 2013 Current Drug Abuse Reviews. All study participants reported positive and sustainable change, and the study found a statistically significant improvement "for the scales that assess optimism, vitality, attention, and perception of the meaning of life subscales and prospects. Reduce the incidence of reports of the use of alcohol, tobacco and cocaine, which is not the cannabis and opiates. " The present article reduction of problem cocaine use was also statistically significant.

6. DMT is produced naturally in the human body, and it can be simulated via death Alkaloid dimethyltryptamine, which causes hallucinations, consists of a chemical compound produced endogenously in humans (as well as a number of plants). This means that our brains initially adapted to the processing of this material, since it has specific receptors which exist for this purpose. Cannabis is another illegal drug that is sometimes released into our body. Some studies of clinical death point to the fact that the brain releases DMT at the time of death. Some researchers have also suggested that DMT may be released during other strong emotions, including during orgasm.
