Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD, is a psychedelic drug known for its psychological effects, including altered thoughts, feelings, and awareness of one's surroundings. LSD is one of the most potent, mind-altering chemicals. It is a clear or white, odorless, water-soluble material derived from ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann. It was initially intended as a psychiatric medication but was not used for that purpose. In the 1950s, LSD began to be used by some psychiatrists for psychotherapy. In the 1960s, LSD became popular among young people as a way to rebel against authority. LSD is usually taken by mouth, although it can also be inhaled or injected. Its effects typically begin within 30 to 60 minutes and can last up to 12 hours. LSD affects everyone differently, depending on factors such as one's personality, mood, and environment. The effects of LSD are also affected by how mu...

Magic mushrooms are a type of fungi that contains the psychoactive compound psilocybin. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in more than 200 species of mushrooms, commonly known as magic mushrooms or shrooms. Psilocybin is not considered addictive and there is no evidence that it causes long-term mental health problems. However, it can cause short-term side effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations. Magic mushrooms are not considered safe for people with mental health problems. Magic mushrooms are often taken for their psychoactive effects, including euphoria, altered thinking, visual and auditory hallucinations, and changes in perception. Psilocybin can also cause nausea and vomiting. Magic mushrooms are usually ingested by eating them raw, cooked, or dried. They can also be brewed into tea or made into an extract. Psilocybin is also sometimes sold in the form of capsules or tablets. It is important to note that magic mushrooms are not legalized...

Microdosing is the act of consuming sub-perceptual (sub-threshold) amounts of a psychedelic substance. This is usually done by taking “hits” or “doses” that are a tenth to a twentieth of a recreational dose and is intended to produce subtle changes in thinking, perception, and mood. The term “microdosing” was coined by Dr. James Fadiman, a researcher investigating the potential benefits of psychedelics since the 1960s. In his book The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide, Fadiman outlines protocols for safe and effective psychedelic use, including microdosing. While there is no formal research on microdosing psychedelics, there is a growing body of anecdotal evidence that suggests that the practice can have profound changes in one’s mood, creativity, and productivity. Microdosing can be done with various substances, but the most common are LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, and DMT. It is important to start with a very low dose and increase gradually, as there is a risk of having a bad trip if the dos...

A stoned ape theory suggests that early humans' use of psychoactive drugs was a key factor in the evolution of human intelligence. The theory was first proposed by anthropologist Terrence McKenna in the early 1990s and has since been further developed by other thinkers. The basic premise of the stoned ape theory is that the use of psychoactive substances (such as magic mushrooms or ayahuasca) by early humans caused them to experience altered states of consciousness. These altered states would have led to increased creativity, problem-solving ability, and abstract thinking. Over time, these cognitive advantages would have given those who used psychoactive substances a survival advantage and would have eventually led to the evolution of modern human intelligence. The stoned ape theory has been met with both support and criticism from the scientific community. Some scientists have argued that there is no direct evidence to support the theory and that it is based on speculation and con...
