Single dose of LSD provides immediate and lasting relief from anxiety, study says

I have heard about Psilocybin mushrooms: the gal who wrote a newsletter I used to subscribe to had terminal cancer, lived in Oregon where using the mushrooms was legal with a doctor's ok, and did use them once. She said it really helped; the feeling was slightly euphoric and kind of a "one-with-the-universe" feeling; really reduced her anxiety about dying. It was done at a clinic with a doctor present, though; so that's the only way I'd do it. (I'd really love to find something to even just knock an edge off my anxiety.)

Thanks for posting this. I was going to mention her too. It helped keep her balanced until the end.

LMAO! 😂
I’ve seriously considered ‘shrooms but doubt I’d ever do them. It’s fun to just imagine ….and so much safer. Lol

An internet friend of mine and she could hook me up with some of them 'shrooms. But she lives way the heck out on the left coast and I'm here in L.A. (Lower Alabama) so I don't know if that will ever happen either.
 
When I was out in California 5 years ago visiting my daughter I tried some of those Marijuana edibles. It was legal there. I ate 5 or 6 of those little chocolate balls and didn't feel a thing. I was disapointed. I was hoping that it would help me to finally understand the lyrics of "I am the Walrus"

You speak from a place of wisdom and experience. As soon as I read this topic I thought no way in hell can our senior physiology handle acid, it absolutly wipes you out.

I agree with the naysayers. The way the world has changed in recent years the last thing I need is to be hallucinating. :oops:
 
Hippie wisdom projected legalization of psychedelics to unite generations and bridge cultural gaps by partaking in certain hallucinogens. My. ballot was cast 60 years ago, maybe the fruit of my vote will manifest itself in this

A friend of mine did something exactly like that a couple years ago. At the time, she was just turning 60 and I have no idea how she found this guys phone number, but she made arrangements to meet him and buy some magic mushrooms from him. She thought the look on his 18 year old face was hilarious when he realized he was there to meet an old lady!

A long time ago in my experimental days I tried peyote. Never again after that ! I was fine with shrooms at that time but peyote kicked my butt and I was only around 19 at the time !

Peyote ! Yes I’ve done that also.
Wicked stuff. Like yourself I liked ‘shrooms better. In fact when I was younger , I went camping when a bunch of friends and we did shrooms all weekend. It was really fun.
 
Never took LSD. But I did take Mescaline once. Both are a hallucinogenic drug. A male nurse onece told me that Mescaline was a stronger drug than LSD. Since I have never taken LSD, I don't know if that is true or not.

I've tried about every hallucinogenic drug I could get my hands on when I was in my late teens. Mescaline, mushrooms, peyote, micro dot, those were all garbage compared to good LSD. In my opinion the high wasn't even comparable, taking those other drugs would give you a buzz but good LSD was an event unparalleled.

Mescaline more mellow than LSD.

My psychatrist is all for psychedelics, should I take LSD wain off Effexor a few days in order to benefit from LSD.
Reddit Post:
Hello fellow redditors, Im currently on a prescribed dose of 150mg venlafaxine (SNRI) a day. Im experienced with LSD itself, but I never tripped while on medication.

Research tells me venlafaxine/effexor and LSD stimulate the same receptors, and that it is not a recommended combination.

The half-time of venlafaxine is only 16-hours though.

Is it possible for me to trip comfortable - after stopping the V intake for 2 days - without experiencing major side-effects or even no trip at all? Edit: hello reddit, for anyone wondering: I did take LSD while on effexor and did not experience side effects. Though i noticed that the effects are not that strong while on effexor. I did this several times.
