Long Trip for Psychedelic Drugs

Psychedelic drugs are inching their way slowly but surely toward prescription status in the United States, thanks to a group of persistent scientists who believe drugs like ecstasy and psilocybin can help people with terminal cancer, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, to name a just a few.

The Heffter Research Institute, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and others have managed to persuade the Food and Drug Administration to approve a handful of clinical trials using psychedelics. The movement seems to be gaining ground in recent years. Since 2001, the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Administration have given the go-ahead to three clinical trials testing psychedelics on symptomatic patients, and several more are on deck.

Doctors who saw their patients benefit from psychedelic drugs back when they were legal are dedicated to jumping through bureaucratic hoops and diminishing the drugs' party stigma to get psychedelics in patients' hands, and brains.

At first blush, it seems like an uphill battle more challenging than the one medical-marijuana advocates have been facing. MDMA has been vilified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and in news stories, making it seem unlikely that federal agencies will ever allow the legal use of psychedelics.

But it might actually be easier to get psychedelics through the approval process than marijuana, according to Rick Doblin, founder and president of MAPS. The roadblock with marijuana has centered on supply. A government-controlled crop in Mississippi is the only marijuana the government will allow in clinical trials. But the supply of psychedelics is decentralized, and the researchers have control of much of it.

MAPS is an amazing organization. I've been following them for some time. They have a media awareness initative where they post research from around the world on their site.

Everybody should check it out: http://www.maps.org

Marijuana Smoker Beheads Two Women

A Malawian man believed to be high on marijuana beheaded two women with an axe Friday, police in the southern African country said.

The man, in his mid-20s, beheaded a 52-year-old woman while she worked in her garden with her daughter and did the same to a 68-year-old friend who came to the daughter's aid, police spokesman Kelvin Maigwa told Reuters.

"The unsuspecting woman greeted the stranger who, instead, threw the axe at her, aiming at the chest," Maigwa said.

He said police found marijuana, or hemp, when they searched the suspect's home.

"The house was full of stench from recently smoked hemp. We believe he had an overdose of the hemp that made him go berserk," Maigwa said, adding that the walls of the house bore quotations from famous reggae songs.

Police have launched a manhunt for the killer, who fled into the bush after the attacks.

Sounds like a Khat junkie on a 5 day run, not a weed smoker.

Christ - it's hard enough to get a pot smoker to get up off the couch - let alone do something like that then run off into the woods and hide...

I didn't think ecstacy was defined as "psychedelic". It's just a serotonin releaser. Most people who get screwed by X aren't really taking pure MDMA. You can never get pure stuff anymore. Government produced MDMA will hopefully be better.

IMO - MDMA fits into many classifications (bit of a cut+paste job below, with some editing):

EMPATHOGEN
Substances which cause or help one to identify with the feelings of others or feel a sense of connectedness with others.

ENTACTOGEN
Dave Nichols (one of the cheifs @ the Heffter Research Institute) came up with this term for substances which generate a sense of "the touch within".

HALLUCINOGEN (MDMA mildly)
Substances which create sensory experiences in the mind (cause hallucinations).

PSYCHEDELIC
Humphry Osmond came up with this term for substances that manifest their effects within the mind.

Can MDMA really cause even a mild hallucination? I think the author of the article got "psychedelic" confused with "psychoactive" maybe, because I've heard MDMA classified as the latter but never the former.

I could be wrong though... I suppose if you do enough of any drug it'll make you hallucinate a little bit.
