Which is exactly one more than you've ever ingested into your body, correct?

Are you a neurologist and can explain what LSD actually does to the brain and why it can be detrimental? Or are you parroting received advice from another party and treating it like it is written it stone?

Humans have been using mushrooms and psychedelics for perhaps millions of years through shamanic traditions.

The initial studies done in the 1960's were halted because too many of the test subjects said they felt like they were talking to God, even from subjects that had reported to be atheist or agnostic.

There were so many that described religious experiences, with no contact or knowledge of the other test subject's experiences, that the doctors at the time did not know what to make of the results and just chalked it up to "psychotic breaks".

However, a typical psychotic break is a very bad thing that leaves the sufferer in a much worse place than before they suffered it. No one that has ever witnessed someone go through one would describe it as anything that could possibly be construed as a positive experience.

But in the test subjects, over 90% reported lasting positive changes in their mental health a full 18 months after their psychedelic use, indicating the experiences made substantive changes to the way their brains were wired permanently. This data certainly throws the psychotic break diagnosis into question at the very least.

Regardless, the results of the initial testing on psychedelics freaked out the medical community so much they stopped testing them all together and kept them verboten.

There is a podcast from Joe Rogan where a guy tells a story about a mushroom trip that cured him of his lifelong stuttering problem in his mid 20's. He's still cured to this day, you would never believe he had ever had an issue if you listened to him speak now. It is an incredibly compelling story, IMO.

Seems to me like there is certainly enough evidence out there to warrant further research into the benefits of the using the substances therapeutically, in a controlled medical setting.

I'm not sure how anyone could be against such a thing really. What exactly are you afraid will happen?
