Tests on long term club drug users (despite the fact that about 50% of "ecstasy" pills are really a bit of speed combined a pinch of the easily-made "hard ride hallucinogen" known as MDA) show brain damage but no evident psychological or mental damage (controlling for marijuana use which has some effect on memory). Remember, few 'Love Drug' users try it only once, but usually about a hundred times during their college years. Though not physically addictive, like marijuana, it can be psychologically addictive, meaning though it lacks potentially fatal withdrawal symptoms (like alcohol), it can leave certain melancholic people with an existential empty spot after a weekend of partying.<BR/><BR/>However, taking a Prozac within a day, before or after, knocks the MDMA out of the receptor and cancels out the neurotoxicity.<BR/><BR/>A second solution is very obscure and understandably unknown by most psychiatrists. Namely, there is a SLIGHT MOLECULAR VARIATION of the MDMA molecule (that would be trivial for a real chemist to prepare but not easy for a kitchen chemist) that lacks the "ecstasy is forever" quality of MDMA. Instead of two O-CH3 groups next to each other on a six-membered flat ring, the two Os are linked into an O-CH2-O ring. It has *slightly* less depth of impact than MDMA, but eventually readily leaves the receptor instead of sticking to it forever.<BR/><BR/>Can you *imagine* though, how many "club drugs" the vast pharmaceutical industry is quietly "sitting on" since actual psychoactive effects are listed as highly undesirable "side effects" by more than one branch of government, the FDA and DEA included.<BR/><BR/>Ketamine, for instance, is an advanced "heavy duty" drug, sold as a veterinary anesthetic. It has been shown to cure depression for a week or more after a single dose.<BR/><BR/>Ibogaine is a "hard ride" hallucinogen (and thus has little abuse potential) that can cure most heroin addicts for upwards of a month after a single (long acting) dose.<BR/><BR/>Did you also know that genuine LSD-25 is one of the most important drugs in neuroscience, and has continued to be from it's discovery to this day? But it's only approved for use in animal studies. It works in such tiny doses on small animals that there is little black market in research grade LSD, since it's no longer distributed in pure form, meaning a vial is a thousands of human doses.<BR/><BR/>LSD in the short term of a few months cut prison recidivism rates greatly, but this study by none other than "Square" Tim Leary was only for a few months, so eventually the long term effect was nil. Longer term studies were never carried out when Johnson and Nixon cracked down on the "counterculture" (a Jewish conspiracy according to Nixon).<BR/><BR/>Want a real conspiracy theory? JFK was becoming part of that counterculture, via Leary supervised LSD sessions, so had to be eliminated. Remember this was the era when Gordon Liddy was breaking into Watergate and the FBI had a backup plan for him to assassinate a New York Times journalist unless they found his source, who was leaking a few Pentagon Papers to not just to the Times, but the whole binder to the Russian Embassy.<BR/><BR/>The funniest thing is, remember, is that is was in fact NOT Leary that introduced the 'Beat Generation' of the 50s to LSD, but actually the CIA, via its MKULTRA program! Leary only gave it, early on, to established intellectuals. Eventually Leary became a CIA agent of sorts, and finally went on the Lecture Circuit with Gordon Liddy. Lots of incest between "good" and "bad" guys! The guy (Shulgin) who discovered MDMA's psychoactiveness was an unofficial agent of the DEA for years (had a license to make anything and literally wrote the reference book on scheduled drugs). In his autobiography, the story of Liddy's raid on the Leary mansion in upstate NY is mostly concerned with his shocked fascination with the sheer number of scantily clad women, including Leary's fashion model wife at the time.<BR/><BR/>"Jesus Christ, do I have to fuck every girl who comes to this place?" - LearyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
