Science Catches Up To The Hippies

My college days have been validated.

'Magic Mushroom' Drug May Improve Personality Long Term

"Many individuals who took a single dose of psilocybin -- the active ingredient in what the drug culture calls "magic mushrooms" -- showed alterations in personality characteristics, largely for the better, that persisted for more than a year, a prospective scientific study showed.

Participants who reported "mystical experiences" during the hallucinogen sessions tended to show increases in the personality dimension known as openness, according to Katherine A. MacLean, PhD, and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University.

They found no adverse effects from the drug exposure.

Openness is generally considered a positive characteristic and includes such traits as aesthetic appreciation and sensitivity, imagination, intellectual engagement, and awareness of feelings in themselves and others, the researchers indicated in an online report in the Journal of Psychopharmacology."

Iow, psilosybin counteracts the affects of flouridation?

Imo, marijuana also has a similar effect, just not quite as potent.

Which explains why Nixon and the PTB made these drugs illegal to begin with and why anyone that uses them is a target of persecution and punishment by the fascist laws that have replaced our original Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Lies, lies and more lies. That's all we'll get from the government Nz.

I learned more about life and myself in my dormitory room than in all the years of classes at college.
