CAN LSD HELP WITH ANXIETY AND IMPROVE MEMORY?
Lysergic acid diethylamide / LSD / acid has been shown in various studies to help with a variety of problems/issues.
LSD is a psychedelic drug that can lead to hallucinations and illusions. “When combined with psychotherapy, psychedelic drugs have shown promise in the treatment of psychiatric conditions such as depression, PTSD, and addiction.”
In controlled environments, LSD can help with anxiety and depression. But in a new study done, it’s also been shown to have a positive impact on one’s memory.
To keep it brief, a group of researchers gave a group of people LSD and gave them a memory-recollection task, those who took LSD were found to have performed better. Of course, more research would need to be done, but it’s an interesting test.
A fun story to share with some friends: in 1966, a group of engineers, mathematicians, artists, and architects were given LSD and mescaline (another type of psychedelic).
During this, they discovered solutions to professional problems that were previously unknown to them!
A drug with clearly a lot of positive potential.
