The American Chemical society has been around since 1876 and does not tend to support controversial topics. On March 28, 2016, Chemical & Engineering News a weekly magazine published by the American Chemical Society, came out with a cover story titled 'Psychedelic compounds like ecstasy may be good for more than just a high'.
The article has separate essays on ibogaine, MDMA, cannabis, ketamine, and psilocybin. The psilocybin essay contains a quote from Dr. Roland Griffiths, a prominent researcher from Johns Hopkins stating:
“It was unlike anything I’ve seen in psychopharmacology before,” says Roland R. Griffiths, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University, of his first trial examining the safety of psilocybin in healthy volunteers.
Those volunteers had positive effects that could last for years. “People had increased satisfaction and quality of life,” Griffiths says. “They felt more generous, centered, optimistic, and caring toward other people in their lives.” Patients’ friends, family members, and work colleagues confirmed the differences.
We are moving in a positive direction.
PTSD results from exposure to events that involve the threat of death or loss of psychological integrity. Mindfulness is an attentive awareness of the reality of things, especially the present moment and is increasingly practiced in psychology to alleviate a variety of mental and physical conditions. Psilocybin decreases activity in the brain that provides our sense of separateness, helping to remove the optical delusion that we are individuals struggling alone in the universe.
Einstein Quote
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein - (1879-1955)
Psilocybin should only be taken with a spiritual mindset in a supportive environment.
