New Study: How to Get High Without LSD or Magic Mushrooms - http://clapway.com/2015/12/15/new-study-how-to-get-high-without-lsd-or-magic-mushrooms-123/

LSD has caused mental instability in many people since the 1970s, and a closer look at the symptoms tells the scientific community how to be high on the drug without taking it. Turns out a lot of the effects of LSD are also symptoms of psychosis.

The Connection Between These Drugs and Psychosis


LSD makes the connectivity between brain networks slower and harder. In fact, a close look at how LSD impacts blood flow and causes changes in brain activity through MEG and fMRI scans revealed that there are quite a few links between LSD effects on the body and the early stages of psychosis. Neurons lose synchronicity in both conditions.

LSD, Magic Mushrooms Users and Psychosis Patients Experience Hallucinations


The drugs and psychosis cause distortions in the brain, and this is caused by reduced blood flow to the visual cortex in the back of the brain. New research also revealed reduced alpha brain waves. This is likely what causes visual hallucinations for drug users and people with psychosis.


This link is strange and alarming. It turns out that there are a lot of similarities between using this drug, Magic Mushrooms, and psychosis. It’s likely that thanks to this new data, LSD will be studied more closely to understand the relationship between the compounds of the drug and brain conditions of people living with psychosis.

Can These Drugs Be Used to Treat Addiction and Depression?


The world has a lot more knowledge of hallucinogenic drugs than they did 50 or 60 years ago. It’s possible that LSD starts being used as a treatment for addiction and treatment-resistant depression, and it could even be used to treat psychosis.


How to Experience an LSD High: Give Yourself a Stroke or HIV


According to this research, giving yourself a stroke will likely give you psychosis. That’s basically being on an LSD high constantly, except in a much more negative note. In fact, too much use of drugs like LSD and mushrooms can cause the brain to be stuck in the effects of being high. The leading causes of psychosis include brain tumors, brain diseases, dementia, epilepsy and HIV. Symptoms include false thoughts, suicidal thoughts hallucinations, and withdrawal from loved ones.


Psychosis is a very stigmatized disease. Further research will give the medical and scientific community more light in regards to these drugs and this illness.

Millions of Americans Are Currently Affected By Mental Illness


The fact that LSD is being used in micro doses in places like Silicon Valley is dangerous. There is not enough information on the long-term effects of this kind of habit to mark it as safe. Though the fact that drugs can give some degree of enlightenment to users can’t be ruled out, there are other risks that need to be examined.


Millions of Americans Are Currently Affected By Mental Illness


The World Health Organization declared that depression will be the second-leading cause of death by 2020, and it’s possible that the leading cause will also be related to mental illness. This is the perfect time for research to be made, and the perfect time for it to make some breakthroughs. Treatments for mental illness need to be improved.


Often times these treatments involve narcotics and other addictive drugs, which doesn’t help patients in the long run. The medical community will hopefully be using their resources to find how to use drugs like LSD and magic mushrooms to be of help to people, but also developing a way to fight potential addiction. Until then, LSD usage is still not as high as it was in the 1970s, but that doesn’t mean its popularity has gotten any lower. The same can be said for magic mushrooms.

A new study reveals that #homophobia is associated with #psychosis. - http://clapway.com/2015/09/15/homophobic-psychotic123/

Researchers at the University of Rome are currently investigating a possible link between homophobia and psychosis. The study, titled Psychoticism, Immature Defense Mechanisms, and a Fearful Attachment Style are Associated with Higher Homophobic Attitude, was recently published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. 


The Study of Homophobia


This is not the first time homophobia has been the subject of study. Previous research, in an attempt to shed light on the topic, has argued that homophobic people may actually have secret homosexual tendencies themselves. By contrast, other studies have suggested the opposite, claiming that homophobic people simply could have an extreme aversion to people that are attracted to the same sex.


The focus of this particular study has never been previously investigated. To gather the data, researchers conducted a psychometric evaluation, examining 551 Italian students, between the ages of 18-30, with consideration to variety of different factors. Researchers implemented a “Homophobia Scale” questionnaire, with which students had to rate how strongly they agreed or disagreed with 25 statements.


Attachment style (mature, preoccupied, fearful and dismissing), defense mechanism style (mature, neurotic, and immature), and nine different psychopathologic symptoms were also examined, including somatization, obsession–compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism.


Furthermore, the study considered the sociodemographic characteristics of the students, revealing that religion and culture largely influence whether or not a person is homophobic. Jannini, as such, believes homophobia is culture-induced and is currently working on expanding this study to examine students in Albania.


So, are homophobic people also psychotic?


Homophobic people are not exactly psychotic. However, they do display a certain amount of personality traits associated with psychosis, including anger, aggression, and hostility. The way homophobic people deal with problems is also considered to be “immature,” although it was noted that people with more depressive tendencies are less likely to be homophobic.


Furthermore, men are much more likely to be homophobic of homosexual men and are rarely homophobic of homosexual women. Women, on the other hand, are less likely to be homophobic of either group.
