    The life-changing realizations people had while on psychedelics...

    Psychedelics
    have the power to be truly life-changing. Sure, they also have the power to make your cat resemble solid rock, but when you have a real breakthrough the effects can be transformative.

    The current prime minister might still think that every single recreational drug is a “toxic scourge” on society, but those in academic circles are becoming increasingly aware of the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. Plenty of recent research has explored psilocybin’s efficacy in treating depression, while DMT trials in the UK are currently exploring the exact same thing. One study found that even bad trips have given people “life-altering insights.”

    Realistically though, anyone who takes psychedelics (mushrooms, LSD, DMT etc) for recreational reasons could have told you the aforementioned for free. We spoke to some people about their one most important realisation while tripping. Some of their names have been changed to protect their identities.

    What was even more life-changing for some was when they thought they could fly and attempted to do so out of a second-story window.

    I've always been afraid of taking anything that would keep me from being in complete control.

    The people in the article used it as a means of escape. Escape from reality. Escape from loneliness. Escape from their own limiting ideas.

    Who needs psychedelics? Just take that last gif, zoom in on it, and hold it a couple of inches from your eyes. Far out man! Don't try this if you are prone to epileptic seizures, lol.

    Psychedelics are being researched now for treatment for addictions and mental illness. The key would be under a doctor's supervision, and knowing what the drug does to your brain chemistry since supplementation may be needed. MDMA was one of the first to be researched. But it almost completely depletes serotonin. If you can't correct that, your use of MDMA will make you depressed if you weren't already.

    Of course that's something we've been hearing since at least the '60s, but I was curious as to whether it has ever really happened - and if so, how often. I haven't found a great number of genuine news accounts of people trying to fly on LSD or other hallucinogens - as opposed to the usual urban myths about it - but it does appear to have happened at least once.

    I might have tried in when I was younger, just out of curiosity, but I can't see the point in doing it now. I don't have a problem with depression, and my weirder dreams, the ones I remember, are the only "trips" I really need. If I ever did decide to try it, it would certainly be under the strictest of controlled situations, with someone I trusted implicitly standing by the whole time.

    During Project MKUltra a Canadian who was experimented on by the CIA with LSD reportedly tried to fly off a high-rise. But he could just as easily been a lose end that the CIA got rid of.

    There were a couple of these supposed incidents while I was following the Dead, after investigation, one was caused by other underlying circumstances (they were going to do it anyway; Hartford 83) one was straight up manslaughter (although with no consequences as far as I know; Giants Stadium 85 or 86) and one I witnessed, although it was a guy that climbed/fell down a wall and ended up almost going for a swim that would have eventually sent him over Niagra Falls, I must say luckily there were other heads around to climb down and help talk the dude down, and assist him back up to the bridge, we had to convince the local cops to back off and let us save him...they did, thank god (Niagra Falls 84).
