LSD Effects on the Brain - Medpage Today

A study appearing in Current Biology has finally revealed the main mechanism by which LSD exerts its effects on the human brain. In this 150 Second analysis, Dr. F. Perry Wilson highlights the methodology, and explains why that really meaningful conversation you had in college really wasn't

Anyone who hasn’t done acid, can’t tell you what it’s like. You have to go through it to get to it.

I took a triple dose without knowing. Was depressed for about two months but it opened my eyes to get my shit together. I tried it when I was 18. I am now 22 and have a good union job and a caring family and girlfriend. I pushed away all those bad influences in my life. Almost lost everything if it wasn't for this bad trip that pushed me to the right direction. That's the way I see it. It was a messed up experience but the results were life changing. Haven't done any drugs since. Glad it happened that way I needed a reality check. If you aren't mentally ready don't try it. It's not for everyone trust me.

LSD made me quit 10 years of everyday smoking weed instantly. Gave me a different mindset, one that I consider healthier than before. I know some that are incredibly frustrated and antisocial after they tried it. It affects individuals differently. This dude that made the video has less than the slightest clue what lsd is and how it affects people.

Watching this while on lsd is the move

‘LSD makes our mundane existence seem more important’ that’s wrong. LSD helps us realise the importance of our existence.

I think that a conversation made meaningful by psychotropics is still truly meaningful.

[grandpaj]

I bet half them kids in these comments ain’t ever do acid.

[chillxvibes]

So tell me those Yale in your background are they moving or no case they are moving

[yuno]

This is actually supported by facts and he doesn’t even demonize lsd. We have come so far

[CrimsonHelldrake]

I feel excitement going into an acid trip like I have never felt going into anything else ever in my life. When the euphoria 1st starts kicking in at the very beginning, I feel so insanely good way beyond anything the sober me has ever even close to been able to feel.

[benongheen]

I am tripping on acid right now then watch this. Will I do I die or turn myself insane from doing acid

[stevensonjc]

The meaning to unmeaningful stimuli just blew my mind. Great content

[okie]

The people explaining how they have become changed after lsd. You explore new things about yourself and the universe. I'm so good rn. But seriously they're putting my thoughts into wordss

[Brousey]

2:52 is the length of this video.. 178 seconds
Perry Wilson is over the 150 second
Yale obviously isn't a university where simple math is taught

I hate to disagree with this study. But there is more going on besides the serotonin receptors. The smooth muscles of the body are more relaxed, and the eyes are dilated, and the senses are open. Also we are more aware of what is in our subconscious thoughts. This can be scary for people who are not comfortable with what they think about when they are not aware of it. We are also able to notice more patterns, and our field of vision is increased. Colors are more vivid and we can see way down to specks that are very small. I am always able to see my corpusels throbbing along with my heart beat. And many optical and audio illusions can be created by my mind.
