Out now. Past use of psychedelics did not directly predict the participants' wellbeing, but it did predict changes in worldview towards idealism: everything is consciousness. And idealism in turn predicted positive wellbeing. nature.com/articles/s4159…
PREPRINT Almost all psychedelic researchers have experience of psychedelic substances. The frequency of previous psychedelic experiences correlates with more positive opinions of psychedelics. They also see that there's a risk of bias osf.io/preprints/psya…
Updated preprint of the paper where we discuss psychedelic researchers' personal experiences of psychedelics. 85% had lifetime experience of classic psychedelics, 95% of psychoactive cannabis. The Discussion section has been extended. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Research has found positive link between cannabis use and depression, but it's unclear whether cannabis use leads to depression or vice versa. This longitudinal study found very large decreases in depression following medical cannabis use tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
There is nothing more important than love. Love is what we are. Love is real, it’s the fundamental principle of the universe. It’s what makes many one, it’s what creates the plurality that we see, the multiplicity from the singularity
ChatGPT hallucinated me! I guess I'm Henrik Jungaberle "Metaphysical Agnosticism: Researchers like Henrik Jungaberle and Anna Lutkajtis suggest adopting a stance of metaphysical agnosticism." The reference is correct but the names are made up. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A funny mistake on talktofrank.com "Honest information about drugs"..."Because DMT is a very harsh and potent drug to smoke, it is sometimes mixed with herbs – such as ayahuasca – to make changa." (talktofrank.com/drug/dimethylt…)
Very interesting study. These type of methods in humans could also inform why the subjective effects of psychedelics differ
Can whole-brain imaging of cellular c-Fos signals be used for #psychedelics drug discovery? This was a project led by @aboharbf and @PashaDavoudian, where they tested a panel of drugs and developed a machine learning pipeline to classify. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Extremely excited about this stellar work and new measure from @RickZeifman and co. The 'REB-Q' has a great future: "From relaxed beliefs under psychedelics (REBUS) to revised beliefs after psychedelics (REBAS)." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39881126/

Hypothetically, a mystic has access or direct contact to the ultimate nature of reality. How could this be possible? Hypothetically, the reality is substance and form. The mystic sees the substance through the forms. Or, for the mystic, the forms vanish completely.
Interesting. "Men with a history of cannabis use had less cognitive decline from early adulthood to late midlife compared to men without a history of cannabis use." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39508467/
