Hallucinogens the latest fad

 Hallucinogens; The latest fad.

the latest: Curing anorexia.

psychologically this is a way to cope when the environment is oppressive: an obessive compulsive behavior because by your diet you can at least control one thing in your life (see how both Sisi and Princess Diana's anorexia started because of the oppression not of their marriages alone but the court life pressures on them).

I posted this answer:

I always suspect these studies because they are done

to prove the hallucinogen works.

They also have selected participants:

For example, devout Christians would not take

hallucinogens, but might enter into a study of faith

healing for depression etc.

(for which there are a lot of anecdotes that it works).

So where are these studies?

Ironically, the advocates often cite AmerIndian healing

ceremonies, but ignore the ceremonies are about

communal prayer for the person.

And magic mushrooms don't make you hallucinate

like LSD but merely give you a mild high that makes

you feel like you are part of the entire world. For people

with existential loneliness, this might indeed help them,

but without helping them connect with their family and

society, other problems will result.

Mother Katherine Drexal, a nun who pioneered schools

for minorities, once participated and noted that

the mushroom gave her the same feeling as she

got in deep prayer after taking the Eucharist.

This needs to be examined but probably won't be. 

or as one commenter noted:

Golden Rule an hour ago

It the new "marijuana"; the recreational drug lobby has move on after their last victory.
