LSD cures depression? Scientists plead for cash to fund ‘exciting’ drug study

British scientists are asking the public for financial backing to push forward an “exciting” study exploring the positive impacts of psychedelic drugs like LSD on the brain.

The study, carried out as part of a psychedelic research project by neuroscientists at Imperial College London, is expected to “revolutionize” scientists understanding of the brain.

To date, the project has been partially funded by Imperial College London and the Beckley Foundation. However, researchers are now in need of £25,000 to analyze scans.

Scientists belief LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) can be used to treat addictions, depression and chronic pain.

Nice. I expect the coming years to shine more and more positive light on pyschedelics. Most people could do with a good brain scrub .

I came across these two studies today claiming no link between pyschelics and mental health problems or suicide and reduction in both.

Stanislav Grof has been utilizing the power of lsd for sometime. He's probably got over 20 books on the subject.

I wonder if LSA has the same benefits of LSD. I used to have a friend who extracted the LSA from morning glory seeds he would buy at the local gardening store. The feeling of unconditional love would last for quite a while after taking the solvent.
