The most humble and appreciating comment one could make. Nothing to add. ... Well, a little: ) I don't like the word ''true'', so There is really a great deal of Information and interesting approaches in it!
Fascinating talk! Given the people's experiences with psilo differ in degree (and perhaps quality), I wonder whether additional insights could be gleaned from looking at pre-drug brain state or neural substrate differences, as distinct from the correlations you showed between reported experience and post-infusion functional responses.
I wish I could've been there for the talk! I'm currently studying towards a degree in pharmacy and I would really love to somehow get into research similar to what you have done! Or even just be a lab assistant... It is absolutely fascinating. If you're ever in South Africa, stop by to give us a lecture at Rhodes University :)
I think LSD is... why? because you need a very very little dossis to have a very important experience, TIME/INTESITY/. The amount of DMT its very large, about 250mlts or more in case of ayahuasca!!! But there is no competition... All of them are great medicines if they are wisely used!!!!
+Miguel Rodriguez Schizophrenia is a degenerative brain disease, not just an altered state of consciousness. It's very harmful to romanticize it. People who have this disease are under immense pain and extreme levels of anxiety without proper treatment, and each time they have a psychotic episode irreparable damage is done to the brain.
I highly doubt it. Schizophrenia is a disease that keeps you from living a normal life, while bad trips can be even better for you than good trips, but only if you know how to integrate them in the daily life
decreasing prefrontal activity, the cure for depression ahh... and what does this? placebo's among others, so depression is cured by hope then for one.
