It’s time we open our mind and realize these compounds and our nervous systems are one. They create religious experience and heal the body and soul.
@zookr3w It’s a mainstream media news source: of course it’s got it’s facts screwwed up.
;D
PEACE
@Lsdfunk yeah It was accidental, this vid is wrong lol.
Someone please watch this, learn something.
there was a 25 page study written in treat yourself magazine i have it. i think they may be right, and the weird thing is they never studied amanita’s yet on this stuff, which may work even better.
@marack: medical cannabis (a.k.a. marijuana) is often recommended for conditions associated with cancer – such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, muscle spasms and pain, especially neuropathic pain, which is difficult to impossible to correct with pharmaceutical, synthetic & dangerous prescription pain pills.
Can you post a link to the studies you rely on to support your claim that psilocybin is healthier than smoked marijuana? I’m reviewing all positions on this issue. Thanks.
when hoffman first ingested LSD it was on accident, and he didnt think he was going crazy he had a euphoric experience. then he wanted to repeat it but LSD is so potent that he took way too much then thought he was going crazy.
good stuff, thanks for uploadign this man
It does remind me of the ancestral ways of healing of the chamans of south america.
yeah, it almost has no negative effect if consumed with food.
Ya. Marijuana did help with my asthma though. After I stopped though(not forever xD) =/. I should really eat it instead lol
true, it could, not as much as tobacco smoke though. i know thats irrelevant, just wanted to point that out.
I meant direct harm, Psilocybin does not harm any part of your body.(speaking directly, not accidental). Marijuana on the other hand(if smoked) can hurt your lungs, I should know, lol
yeah i know its prescribed to people who get chemo, but it has so many other, more beneficial uses than that. psilocybin is definitely not healthier than marijuana. you are not going to trip and potentially harm yourself from using marijuna.
Marijuana isn’t prescribed to people with cancer(unless they have a tumor), it’s prescribed to people who go through chemotherapy. Also, yes, Psilocybin is healthier then marijuana(if marijuana is smoked, marijuana is safer if eaten)
I see what you mean. But I also think that it’s important to treat anxiety too. There are many studies which indicate that stress and anxiety catalyze the production of high levels of cortisol; a substance which is linked to a whole array of diseases. But using MJ to treat the cancer itself is also something that needs to be utilized more. I mean who the hell wants to get chemo anyway??
alright, i never said it was the only beneficial natural medicine… my point was instead of treating anxiety and depression, with psilocybin, you could use medical marijuana which would help with anxiety and depression, but also attack the cancerous cells, and eventually rid your body of cancer. i was just stating that pot would be a more helpful medicine and would actually take care of the cancer.
You are partially correct. Hoffman did actually ingest LSD, which you can find on some interviews on here I’m sure. But he did absorb some through his skin, feeling minimal effects, he was intrigued. Three days later I believe. he purposely ingested a dose of 250ug, which was the day of the “Bicycle Day”.
Be open minded friend, Marijuana is not the only beneficial medicine offered by nature
ur fucking ignorant u peice a shit, ur brainwashed by the propaganda that our own government issues out. do research, watch my videos and just try to prove me wrong.
um, lol, your an idiot. Cancer treatment can only be treated by extensive pharmacological studying. Its root lies in the ease with which the M phase gene can be mutated. The cure lies in genetics, not weed you ignorant retarded- you are no better than the redneck nation that is ruining the US.
fuck that, anxiety and depression treatment when you can actually treat the cancer with marijuana, come to my channel and check out the run from the cure videos.
The beginning says she lived in Los Angeles, California, USA. The news story was on Canada’s CBC news.
which country and state was this in?
I think if you have near fetal disease, all illegal drugs should be ingested
