If you haven't had an intense psychedelic trip, you have no idea how powerful the mind can be

Do you deny that an intense psychedelic trip is a unique experience of the power of the mind? That's all it is. If you're getting your panties up in a bunch, you're the one with the problem. You've always been the one with a problem. Don't talk to me about Becca you fucking dick get out of my house. -

Just sayin'.
It definitely bears repeating.
If your pineal glands aren't erect and salivating, you are lacking the imagination to see even one iota of the implications from this.
Naturally occurring hallucinogenic compounds are yesterday's news.
Fuck designer drugs, it's all about designer receptors. -
2018-11-29 at 4:13 AM UTCGadzooks, what designer receptors would you create?

The field is still in its infancy, so it's really hard to speak in terms of technical protocol, but, for one, I would create a bunch more targeted dopamine receptors (because too much dopamine in the wrong parts of the brain == schizophrenia).
Then, I'd upregulate some custom GABA receptors that don't induce benzo-like amnesia, so as to be in a tranquil state for the experience.
Then, I'd start experimenting with inducing hallucinations (i.e. the "trippy/psychedelic" part of the whole experience).
And then, maybe I'd selectively upregulate AMPA receptors so as to form more connections during the experience, so that it stays with you and you can recall it vividly at any time for decades to come. -
2018-11-29 at 4:20 AM UTCI think psychs are a very interesting delusion. They are interesting. But we must also be careful not to delude ourselves.

I have been killed and died. I have destroyed the distance that separates objects and beings from one another, and viewed the world as one big motherfucker, and was simultaneously all things at once.
I don't know why the human brain is capable of these things but it's pretty fucking cool that I actually have memory of living forever and transferring my consciousness to a strawberry and shit. It still FEELS real, like it was something that actually happened.
If you're someone who values experiencing everything you can in the world, I don't know how you could pass on trying psychedelics. I'm not going to say that you should try every drug if you want to experience what the world has to offer, but psychedelics are a little bit special in that regard. You go places in your head and everything is fresh. It's like a spring cleaning and trip abroad all in one. It's a totally unique experience in the world. Nothing short of mental illness can emulate it but I don't have any mental illnesses so I can't speak on that.
This is a very interesting subject to many scientists, of I am which. Thank you for the poibt of view. I know of what you mean. -

2018-11-29 at 4:42 AM UTCYou know I've went through my own instance of experience. What do you think of the sigma receptors?

Oh, that reminds me...
I'd also design completely non-habit-forming opiates.
There would be no come down / withdrawals whatsoever. You just gradually, over the course of about 5 to 10 minutes, return to normal and have zero cravings, only mild curiosity to try it again. -
2018-11-29 at 4:46 AM UTCOh, and drug tolerance of any kind whatsoever... L to the O to the L.
We won't be having any of that now. -

I like the GABA idea. GABAgadzooks. GABAg
I was trying to find this information on an opiate that was apparently non-psychoactive but still had some pretty decent analgesic properties. Can't find shit tho. Idk if anyone knows what I'm talking about, but I really wanna look at the mechanism for that right now. I really need to start taking notes.
