Health/Medical Title: Landmark Study Shows Psychedelics Far More Effective at Reducing Crime Than Police In recent years the U.S. has seen a dramatic resurgence of research into the medical use of psychedelics, after the drug war put a decades-long halt on scientific advancement. Despite psilocybin, LSD and other hallucinogens still being labeled as “Schedule 1” drugs, researchers are discovering the astounding benefits of their medical application. Last December, pioneering clinical trials found that magic mushrooms heal mental illness like a “surgical intervention.” Advanced cancer patients have “experienced immediate and dramatic reductions in anxiety and depression, improvements that were sustained for at least six months.” Psychedelics can treat addiction, ADHD and PTSD, and can replace years of depression therapy. Alongside medical cannabis, psychedelics can arguably solve the opioid epidemic. Now, research is showing the positive effects of psychedelic use on social dynamics—by reducing criminal behavior. Researchers surveyed 480,000 people to produce some eye-opening results.
Interestingly, it appears that psychedelics are far more likely to reduce crime than putting more cops on the street. At most, increasing the police presence has preceded a 5% drop in crime, but other case studies show no correlation, and some have shown the opposite. The idea that responsible use of psychedelics can heal both the individual and the society is fatal to Drug War propaganda. It’s also a direct threat to the profits of Big Pharma, which enjoys government-granted monopolies to keep Americans hooked on their far more dangerous drugs. It is no wonder research into psychedelics—which mostly consist of natural plant/fungus extracts—remains prohibitively expensive and burdensome due to their designation as ‘Controlled Substances.’ During the 1950s and 1960s, great understanding was being made into the therapeutic aspect of psychedelics, before the War on Drugs was unleashed on humanity. LSD was successfully being used to treat alcoholism, neurosis, schizophrenia, and psychopathy. Authors of the current study note that they are demonstrating what people have known for thousands of years.
Hendricks said his findings “suggest that clinical research with classic psychedelics in forensic [psychological] settings should be considered.” Science is showing that mystical experiences are indeed a benefit to the individual and society. Fascinating research using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) shows that, under the influence of psilocybin, the brain enters a pattern of activity similar to the dream state. Primitive areas of the brain linked to emotions, memory and arousal become more synchronized, while higher-level thinking and the “sense of self” become unsynchronized. Our “default mode network” (DMN) which is involved in our ingrained thought patterns and behaviors, decreases in activity, which can allow people to break free from destructive brain patterns. Johns Hopkins Medicine stated, “A history of psychedelic drug use is associated with less psychological distress and fewer suicidal thoughts, planning and attempts…” We are making leaps and bounds in understanding how psychedelics can treat mental illness, and now, how it can improve society by reducing crime. Government’s war on drugs—really just a war on people—is the biggest obstacle.

I see. Those who exhibit anti-social behavior will now be sent to re-education camps and injected with drugs to force them to conform to the government's standards of behavior.
#2. To: Deckard (#0) Rat poison would probably produce crime reducing results too.
Stupid is as stupid does.

How about a little personal testimony? I was suicidal as hell at one point in my life. Just didn't give a damn if the sun came up or not,so there were NO limits about what I would do or say if you pissed me off,and I honestly didn't give a rabid rats ass if you had a badge and a gun or not. Then I started taking LSD and especially MDA,and it changed my life. Don't get me wrong,I still won't hesitate to tune up anybody that pisses me off,and especially not anyone that threatens me,but I'm happy to say I don't go out looking for it anymore,and on occasion have even tried to talk people out of getting pushy with me. Usually with very good luck,but there are some people that just refuse to listen. The chances of me still being alive and free today if I hadn't taken mind-altering drugs in the 70's are at absolute zero. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments. #4. To: VxH (#2) Stupid is as stupid does. I'll have to take your word for that one.
TESTIFY,BROTHER! In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments. #5. To: sneakypete (#3) (Edited) rabid rats ass Is there an easy way to tell the rabid rat's arses from the non-rabid rat's arses?
#6. To: VxH (#5) Is there an easy way to tell the rabid rat's arses from the non-rabid rat's arses? Dunno. It was never that important to me. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments. #7. To: sneakypete (#6)
There. Learned something new today.
