As we have reported numerous times in the past, psychedelic mushrooms are becoming increasingly popular in the US as a possible treatment for psychiatric disorders, with their main active ingredient, psilocybin, moving from the fringes of medicine, to become increasingly mainstream. Roland Griffiths, a professor who studies the neuropsychopharmacology of consciousness at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, received approval in 2000 to carry out the first experiments on psilocybin since the 1960s. He found in a survey of early study participants that more than half regarded it as one of the most meaningful experiences of their life. “The mystical experience

Roland /Griffiths is making a redux of Timothy Leary's work with LSD. That sure helped a lot of people.

Cluster headaches are some of the most painful attacks that a human can endure (until he gives up and doesn't endure them anymore). This LDotter has been through more than 30 years of these debilitating episodes, and there is no good cure. Opiates, administered in the ER, are ineffective, numbing the body but not the locus of the pain. After years of research with no answers, there are reports of people getting relief with psychedelics like psilocybin. That's not my style pharmacologically. In college I had some close friends who tripped out on LSD every Saturday while I played cards with them and didn't partake. Once I had decided to join them, my best friend told me not to do it because "you think too much." He meant it would be a bad experience, so I never went that way. Would I try psilocybin to deal with these headaches? I would if it were legal. Nobody can live a good life with these things happening all the time. What does one do when there are no good answers?

Maybe you should try going to a church to meditate, It will change you and you don't need to worry about your brain turning into a veggie. Funny how people are looking for heaven in all the wrong places.

There's some beneficial affects from almost every illegal drug. The problem is most people don't use them to solve a problem. They just want to get stoned or escape reality.

Apparently free pot isn't enough for the modern flower children. I realize there are a lot of cures and remedies locked up in natural plants but making mind-altering substances available to those who are willing to put most anything into their bodies is not a good idea. They should be required give up their car keys and all sharp objects first.

No doubt you’ve already tried it, but low daily doses of propranolol was the solution to my migraines. They were occasional, though, not clusters like yours.

#3, I have seen a recent ad for a migraine medication. I can't tell you the name of it, because I don't pay attention to most ads. (slight interruption here - Lucianne is running the two kissing homos on my screen again. Stop it, Lucianne! Please.) You might want to see an Osteopathic physician. But make sure the physician manipulates - some of them don't. I laughed at the thought of osteopathic medicine for a long time, but had a really painful back, finally went to one, and he fixed it. And as I was about to leave, I told him I had bursitis in my left elbow, had it for months, M.D. injected it with cortisone several different times, but it wouldn't go away. The Osteopath, then in his 50th year of practice, said, 'sit down.' I sat, he put my left hand between his knees, popped my elbow, and it was cured, and never recurred. I asked how he was able to fix the elbow, and he said, 'the two bones in your arm, ulna and radius, sometimes get out of alignment at the elbow. I realigned them.'

Every drug should be legal. Every bona fide doctor should be able to prescribe any drug. Everyone should be free to choose - or fire - his doctor. Every insurer should be allowed to operate in every state. Let the market decide which of the above products and services live or die. Everything else is socialism. Or worse.

Now that Joe Biden’s approval rating has fallen—it’s hovering in the low 40s, and it can’t get up—the Main Stream Media have come up with a new line of defense for their man. Okay, goes this new line, Biden isn’t doing so well, but that’s to be expected—because no president can do well. That is, the problems are just too tough, the job is just too hard, the country is just too polarized, yada yada yada. As we shall see, history suggests that the American people won’t buy an argument based on hopelessness, which we can call the desperation defense. After all, Americans tend to be optimistic

One of the funniest things is how they posture at being the “true conservatives.” Yet, they then throw in with Democrats — who are doing all they can to push us further to the left — effectively helping their agenda against Republicans.

She starts her article with this: “My teenage daughter has decided that she is “trans”. So have all her friends. Not some of them. Not most of them. Every. Single.

To this point, Joe Biden has danced around the idea of running for a second term. His handlers have indicated that he plans to while leaving the door open for other circumstances to arise. When the president himself has spoken on it, he’s been even vaguer, mentioning his health and suggesting that Donald Trump possibly running again would be a deciding factor. A firm commitment has been largely elusive. According to The Hill, though, Biden has committed to staying in the game. The president made those comments to Barack Obama during the latter’s recent White House comeback tour. "President Biden has told former President Obama that he is planning to run

With the cost of energy skyrocketing and record-breaking inflation, the Biden administration came out last month and warned the public about “food shortages” hitting the US. Naturally, like with the ‘Putin price hike’, fingers were pointed at the war in Ukraine for causing the shortages. Biden himself was even trotted out by his handlers, warning that the shortages in the US would be nothing short of “real.” Well, something odd and concerning has been happening ever since the Biden Administration made their ominous prediction.
