Sunday early

I woke up with no alarm clock at 7:55. We had been watching “How to Change Your Mind”. I had no idea of all the lsd experiments going on in the 50s similar to what’s going on today and ptsd. The were really finding out interesting stuff and then Nixon shit it all down making LSD illegal, part of his ignorant war on drugs.

I can’t stand when politicians do stupid things to get in the way of science. Even with Roe v Wade the same stupidity is present. Roe v Wade got overturned because of capitalism and racism and homophobia/transphobia more than sexism. It’s fucking obvious.

The science part is about IVF, freezing your eggs and reducing. They’re going to attack that next and I know a lot of great kind in this world that wouldn’t exist without it. They could block stem cell usage and research another thing that saves lives.

So LSD went underground and is now having a resurgence.

Another part of the movie was how the famous Bill of AA got off alcohol by doing LSD. I don’t think it’s widely known in 12 Step circles as I never hear clients talking about it. It seems like a travesty and betrayal. I haven’t read the big book but I would assume the 12 Step Program would be much more effective if everyone took LSD to get off drugs and alcohol before joining the program. The resividism rate would be markedly better. Luckily I know a lot of people micro dosing mushrooms and that’s an other new way to combat ptsd and depression.

I haven’t finished the first episode but the one annoying thing is that all the research was done by white male academics, scientists and probably CIA. They can be blamed for the shit down too. It seems their experiments went south with Timothy Leary. They were doing tests on army to maybe see if it could be a weapon of warfare. At the beginning a weird comparison was made between the atom bomb and LSD as they kind of coincided and they compare LSD as being a kind of bomb in your brain.

While watching I thought of my own one time LSD experience at Harvard my first year there. 3 of us did it together and wandered around together. I remember music sounding incredible like I could separate every note even though I’m ignorant about music. I also was convinced I’d discovered that to avoid dying you could just stay awake all the time. The trip ended intensely with me literally being Mother Earth and giving birth to the planet like it was a baby.

I think the government was experimenting with using LSD in warfare. You could freeze your enemy by dropping lsd capsules on them. What if they went to Ukraine and got lsd to the Russian army? Would everyone desert and refuse to do Purim’s bidding or would it just solidify Russia’s beliefs around doing the atrocity they’re doing.

I think the CIA figured out it could stop enemies from taking orders and that their soldiers became chaotic and lost interest in killing people but mostly in being told what to do. The Russians are ruthless and it could be they would just continue what their doing with cosmic justification.

I hope the CIA is still looking into LSD. What if it’s the answer to nuclear warfare. Turn on, Tune in, Drop Out. Get all of congress and the Supreme Court on acid. Do it to police departments at trainings too. Things couldn’t get much worse.
