The Long, Strange Relationship Between Psychedelics And Telepathy - Motherboard

Taking a look at the "tune in" aspect of Timothy Leary's psychedelic maxim, Shayla Love takes a deep dive into the potentially veridical psi experiences of psychedelic enthusiasts, and the scientists of all stripes striving to uncover a connection twixt the two. Best of all Shayla links to various studies over the decades for your perusal. The thing about psychedelics is one sees all sorts of crazy crap under the influence which raises the question, "Are the visions what heals the mind, or is it the drug?" Bringing us to Dana Smith's essay about Taking The Magic Out Of Magic Mushrooms. In this psychonaut editor's opinion, it's like drinking non-alcoholic beer for the flavor yet Dana illustrates the complications from both sides of the aisle in regards to the long-legged Salvador Dali elephant in the room. Coming in at an oblique angle to this topic, Christopher Lane announces A Decisive Blow To The Serotonin Hypothesis Of Depression making a significant impact on psychiatric conventional wisdom and how SSRIs may only be as effective as placebos. I would argue to Dana Smith that the hallucinations of psychedelics go hand in hand with the therapeutic effects. (CS)
