Wrong identity or impure test materials can mean unreliable or misleading results. Remember what the basis was for the so-called ‘ginseng-abase syndrome’? Something labeled ‘ginseng’ from a store!? Or the MD declaring he could do acupuncture because he was used to sticking needles in patients.
Now closer to home (our psychedelics) – just consider 1% LSD present in a dose of psilocybin for whatever reason; that would double the psychedelic effects because LSD is up to 200X stronger than psilocybin. So, my colleagues, be careful! Has any of our colleagues published research that shows this purity/identity issue of any commonly used or researched synthetic psychedelic, one way or another?
In the next post, I want to continue to connect the vicious cycle (VC) of drug therapy using synthetic chemicals with the persistent poor health of Americans, exploited or caused by the drug industry. The only way to eliminate this VC is by government-owned healthcare as most truly democratic, educated, or civilized nations like Canada and the Scandinavian countries, whose multibillionaires pay taxes unlike ours who don’t pay any.
