Since the 60s, people have been using acid and LSD as therapeutic treatments and recreational drugs that could bring them happiness and pleasure in their everyday lives. This is substantiated by the increasing demands of acid, and albeit their popularity, the government and society cast a dark cloud above them and consider them a great looming threat for the country and its citizens. Luckily, we can all thank our hard-working scientists and researchers for proving that both acid and LSD have medical uses. Let’s check them out in the passage below:
Managing Alcohol Addiction
Scientists have begun to crack down on the medical uses of acid and LSD. In the past few decades, their perseverance has not gone in vain; it was rewarded with the discovery of acid, LSD, magic mushrooms, and other types of hallucinogens’ capabilities to manage alcohol addiction.
They have conducted experiments with the help of alcoholics and administered a small dosage of acid that helped them build the mental resilience to withstand the urge to consume alcohol. As a result, the alcoholic subjects experienced a 40 percent decrease in their daily alcohol consumption!
Easing Terminally Ill Patients to a Gentler Death
Another medical use of acid and LSD is how they are able to bring peace and serenity to those restless souls who are condemned with a terminally ill disease that makes them unable to eat, think, or do positive activities besides thinking about their inevitable end. Terminally ill patients will be able to take back their lives and enjoy it until the end using acid and LSD, which gives them bliss and happiness to comfort their sadness and pain.
The effects are studied continuously during clinical trials and experiments, and it is concluded that a small dosage of acid can impact their personalities to a complete 180! From sorrows and hopelessness to smiling and cheerful, acid and LSD are the new treatment!
Increasing Brain Activity
Scientists call brain activity or when our brain parts communicate with another as cross talk, and it doesn’t usually happen because our ego inhibits the process. We have our consciousness that takes the wheel at all times and make decisions for our every action, but during our acid trip, our egos will be suppressed, and parts of our brains are loosened up and relaxed to the point that parts of our brains lowered their walls and begun to communicate with one another.
This phenomenon leads to our brain’s visual processing parts and our brain’s emotional parts interacting, making us more open-minded, mindful, and accepting of others. We can take advantage of this as a rehabilitation program for violent and mentally ill people and reshape them to be functioning members of society. So, still, think acid and LSD have no medical uses? Well, think again!
