The Mind-Bending History Of Buddhism And Psychedelics

.

.

This Huffington Post article explores the links between Buddhism and psychedelics.

Seeing that Buddhism and psychedelics are going through a period of resurgence with the latter being investigated as therapeutic agents for mental health issues and that they both share a common goal: the liberation of the mind, the intersection of these practices raises a number of questions: Are psychedelics an obstruction to a Dharma practice, or a helpful accompaniment? Are mind-altering substances a legitimate means of personal transformation?

Interesting questions that underline the fact that even though humans seem to have an innate and universal drive to alter consciousness, there is a great deal of sham and guilt in our culture around doing this, even if it's in a spiritual or therapeutic context.

Psychedelic mushrooms put your brain in a “waking dream,” study finds

.

.

This article is from the Washington post, it presents som of the most recent studies that seem to suggest that psychedelic mushrooms could have permanent, positive effects on the human brain, no wonder they are being explored as a potential treatment for depression and anxiety.

The way psychological illnesses are treated today is by dampening anxiety and emotional range to try to cure depression, but with psychedelic mushrooms, we would be unlocking them instead, loosening the mind.

People who take psychotropic mushrooms and LSD experience neurological effects such as increased brain function, a shift in  perspective, they may feel more optimistic and not the hedonistic reward other drugs give you when consumed.
