MDMA, Molly or Ecstasy, but legally known as Methlysafrylaminc - these are all the same drug. In 1912 this, now illicit substance, was originally developed by a German pharmaceutical company to control bleeding. Some say that it has medical use, while others completely disagree. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s MDMA had gained a huge following with psychiatrist saying that the drug “enhanced communication” and “opened insights to patients about their problems.…
Many people are confused about what paranormal actually means. To most, the term can be pictured with pale ghosts and walking zombies or aliens with their bright UFOs. A real definition, however, is explained as: "the scientific study of interactions between living organisms and their external environment that seem to transcend the known physical laws of nature. Parapsychology [the study of the paranormal phenomena] is a component of the broader study of consciousness and the mind" (Rhine 1). This explanation describes it as the study of supernatural and paranormal beings we are unable to see, hear, or use any other sense to locate these spirits.…
Scientists have also found evidence that MDMA may possess toxic properties towards brain…
(Introduction: Concession) When people hear about shamanism and psychedelic drugs they usually jump to a negative conclusion. Shamanism is often viewed as something unnecessary or archaic, and psychedelic drugs are demonized in society. In Daniel Pinchbeck’s, Breaking Open the Head, he discusses shamanism and hallucinogenic drugs in a new light. Through both personal experience and historical evidence he provides information about shamanism and psychedelics. In this essay we will be discussing the different claims that Pinchbeck makes to educated and hopefully persuade the reader to open their minds to a new world.…
Magic mushrooms can lead to feeling of relaxation that are similar to that of marijuana. According to the national institute on drug abuse. ( sciencealert.com). Psilocybin mushrooms are considereda schedule 1 drug under the Psychotropic Substance Abuse Act. They have a high abuse potential with no accepted medical use.…
So, this will keep MDMA from becoming mainstream. Honestly, I believe every drug that have been listed as threatening or risky and cannot be used for therapy is because people abuse them and have caused some type of harm or chaos. For example, using drugs while driving is more likely to cause a car accident, death, or injuring/killing a pedestrian. However, I believe if MDMA can help patients or people who are in the need of it, therapists should re-configure and practice therapeutic sessions. After all, you are not causing harm, you are helping people to reduce the symptoms of PTSD.…
Their analysis of the seven clinical trials administered over the past ten years testing the effects of psilocybin-assisted therapy on anxiety, depression, addiction, and obsessive-compulsive disorder has revealed this type of psychedelics from magic mushrooms. It has been revealed in several studies across different patient populations that psilocybin-assisted therapy is safe and that it has a bigger effect compared to other types of treatment for psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression on validated psychiatric rating scales. This suggests that this type of psychedelics from magic mushrooms could even be a better treatment option for most patients, especially to those who did not respond to other medications or procedures. According to the researchers, an important contrast from the other session-based treatments for psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression are that the benefits of psilocybin-assisted therapy could only require few dosing sessions and the effects seem to last longer than the other treatment…
By altering how the body functions, these drugs not only provide users with the effect they want, but also with major consequences. With this drug bust, New York City, and society in general, moves one step closer to eliminating these lethal and addictive substances. However, supply and demand for these drugs is not likely to decrease anytime…
okay, though. Just pop adderal and xanax all day and the world is rainbows and sunshine. Real disorders and real problems are ignored because society is content with getting people high and being done with it. Large pharmaceutical companies are more concerned with profiting from a person’s ailment than actually making them better. This is similar to the way that the government of Brave New World does not care about…
also states, “I know with all the auditing, books and courses I took, the cost of Scientology added up to more than $50,000.” That’s more than a year’s salary for some people, far more than any struggling actor moving to Los Angeles looking for one big break. Steve Hall who wrote speeches and TV scripts for Scientology says, “Scientology is a philosophy of rational self-inquiry akin to Buddhism, in that it requires an investigation and a reckoning with one's own demons and desires. ”(Edwards). That clearly states that Scientology is a religion to help find yourself but there are far more ethical ways of achieving this.…
For instance, MAPS made a statement last year when reporting their results, stating “ Non-subtle consequences of neurotoxicity, if there actually are going to be any, might take at least fifteen or twenty years of use to develop”(11). Although there is a possible risk associated with the neurotoxicity, researchers in current studies see no negative short term effects from MDMA, allowing research to continue. MDMA is a more promising PTSD cure when compared to the current…
Marijuana “It is an obscenity that we stigmatize so many young Americans with a criminal record for smoking marijuana. But not one major wall street executive has been prosecuted for the near collapse of our entire economy.” Says Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. So many young lives are disrupted or destroyed because they have sold or smoke a plant that has never killed anyone or even contributed to anyones death.…
It has no real medical value but has high abuse potential so it is classified as Schedule 1 drug. This might be due to it only being used a few times before the user switches to another drug. Trafficking 1-9 grams of LSD on the first offence would be no less than five year and no more than forty years, no less than 20 years,no more than life if serious injury or death and no more than two million dollar fine. Second offence would be no less than ten years, no more than life, life if serious injury or death and no more than four million dollar fine. And so on and so forth for more…
In the world of psychiatry nearly all drugs in use today were created between 1950 and 1969. It’s hard to imagine with so many drug commercials on TV revealing new and groundbreaking products, that the same products being advertised today were actually created based on chemistry performed more than 60 years ago (Klein, p.259, 2014). The reason behind this is simple. The creation of new drugs based on finding new molecular entities is extremely costly. For the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to approve a new drug to market costs can exceed 5 billion dollars and can take as long as 15 years to satisfy the criteria for safe and effective (Marston, 2013).…
