ALCOHOL IS WORSE FOR MENTAL HEALTH THAN PSYCHEDELICS

A study by the Research Council of Norway has concluded that psychedelics do not link to mental health problems or suicidal behavior.

A study of roughly 130,000 adult citizens in the United States found no “evidence that psychedelic use is an independent risk factor for mental health problems.”

Of the 135,095 randomly selected people, 19,299 of them had used either lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin or mescalin, and no links were found to “increased likelihood of past year serious psychological distress, mental health treatment, suicidal thoughts, suicidal plans and suicide attempt, depression and anxiety.”

Overall, the study concluded that “it is difficult to see how prohibition of psychedelics can be justified as a public health measure.”

As information is allowed to run free through the internet, it has become openly apparent that many psychedelic drugs are not the danger the profit-driven media had portrayed them to be.  Often, they are one of the greatest medicines to overcome addiction.

There is, however, a direct link between alcohol abuse and suicide.  According to the US National Library of Medicine,

“Alcohol abuse may lead to suicidality through disinhibition, impulsiveness and impaired judgment, but it may also be used as a means to ease the distress associated with committing an act of suicide.”

Renowned author, Sam Harris, discusses the virtures of some specific pscyhedelic drugs.

Being one of the lucky people who overthinks practically everything can be both a blessing and a curse.  And there are dozens of us!  Okay, there are probably more like millions of people in the world who tend to overthink things.  And you might be one of us if you understand these five things:

*When we’re sorry, we’re really sorry – *We’re not ones to enjoy hurting other people’s feelings.  If we get in a fight with a friend or loved one, we’ll eventually break down the fight into each and every little detail so as to understand the battle from both sides.  We’re sorry and we hope you accept the apology, because we won’t forget about it anytime soon.

*We’re not as insecure and controlling as we come off – *We understand that you’ve got your own life and you’re probably out doing things that don’t allow you to be using your phone 24/7, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t fantasize about the million other possibilities of what you’re doing.  You could be cheating on us, or fighting for your life in an alleyway, we have no idea.  

*We’re indecisive – *Trying to figure out the perfect thing to say or write or post can be the hardest thing for us.  We will write something perfect, then re-write it, and then re-write it, simply because we keep finding things wrong with what we’re trying to say.  

*We enjoy getting out of our heads – *Finding a person who can drag us out of our heads even for a short time is a special thing for us.  Constant introspection and analysis can drive one mad (which says a lot about why we are the way we are).  If you can do this, we thank you.

*We can be a lot of fun at parties – *Letting go and partying from time to time is right up our alley, so long as it’s stimulating.  Living in the moment is a lot of fun until we wake up the next morning, head throbbing and stomach churning.  Then we’re back at it, trying to recollect what stupid thing we said to someone we were trying to impress last night.
