Actually there is quite a bit of evidence that psychedelics can do a phenomenal job at curing all types of psychological ails. Stanlisov Grof is a pioneer in this segment of psychology, and he started back in the 50's. I spent a lot of time in my Master of Art investigating his concept of "Spiritual Emergency," and some conspirists would argue that psychedelics were not only banned in the US, but also received a lot of propaganda against it BECAUSE OF THEIR TREMENDOUSLY EFFECTIVE ABILITY TO cure psychological problems.Â
Psychedelics have received the same level of disrespect as weed. Of course these substances can and do get misused. But they also have some extremely powerful effects, and it's a shame that we've been propagandized that they are straight from hell. I would argue that alcohol is a worse drug than both the aforementioned substances, and what's extraordinarily baffling? Is that mainstream psychology AGREES with me!! (in that alcohol is the most dangerous drug of all) Go figure
Nanny: Here's what's also very interesting...your recommendation of self-awareness is also an amazingly effective protocol for healing certain problems. But get this...mindfulness meditation and psychedelics actually are both outcasts of the mainstream psychological industry, and what's more they are both part of what's called "Transpersonal Psychology," where both of these modalities are honored for there therapeutic qualities.
