Inside the underground movement to unleash the healing power of MDMA, ayahuasca and other hallucinogens
Psychedelic lore is littered with cautionary tales. Should reports of hallucinogen persisting perception disorder count among them?

It feels important to raise the topic of psychedelic drugs and their involvement in spiritual awakening. It seems to be a growing trend for evolving people to want to short-cut the natural evolutionary process by involvement with transcendental experiences induced by drugs such as Ayahuasca and DMT. Openhand's direct experience comes from 'picking up the pieces' with people who have inadvertently accessed higher dimensions too rapidly and then suffered the after effects of trying to integrate their experiences in a grounded and balanced way. Such practices have led people into paranoia and delusional reality manifestations. They come with a strong 'health warning'...

On the reintegration of acid, ecstasy, and other consciousness-altering drugs into Jewish spiritual life, a tradition as old as the tribe itself
Today’s guest post is by Mike Jay, the celebrated author of High Society, an illustrated global history of drugs, among other books. His essays have appeared in Aeon Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and the London Review of Books, covering topics as diverse as drugs and creativity, flying potions, influencing machines, brainwashing, and opium pipes. In February 1758 the 90-year-old Charles Lullin, a retired Swiss civil servant whose sight had been progressively failing since a cataract operation five years before, began to see considerably more than he had become accustomed to. For the next several months he was visited in his apartment by a silent procession of figures, invisible to everyone but him: young men in magnificent cloaks, perfectly coiffured ladies carrying boxes on their heads, girls dancing in silks and ribbons. These visions were recorded and published in 1760 by his grandson, the naturalist Charles Bonnet, after whom the syndrome of hallucinations in the elderly and partially sighted would much later be named. This celebrated case is one of the founding studies in the science of hallucinations, and frames the subject in distinctive ways. Most significantly, it has no link with mental illness: Lullin’s eyesight may have dimmed but his cognitive faculties were perfectly sharp, and he had no difficulty recognising his hallucinations as unreal. His experience was clearly different in kind from those experienced in psychoses such as schizophrenia: rather, it highlights the remarkable range of organic conditions, from neurological disorders to drug effects, of ‘hallucinations in the sane’. Much has […]

We just survived the fire storms and we need some Rolling Stones to lift up our spirits and get us feeling happy again! The Stones are like medicine for me, better then any antidepressants, better then any other music out there. I’ve been to 10 Stones concerts in my life and I am 51. I was born 11-11-66 so concert number 11 is a must! It’s always been my dream to just hang out and have a cocktail with the Stones or at least tell them how important Stones music has been in my life . Whenever I am down I just crank up the Stones real loud and I immediately I feel cheered up and motivated to take on the day. I am a life long fan and feel grateful for all the music the Stones have created. When my mom was dying of cancer she took me to att park in San Francisco for a show, she didn’t feel well from chemo but the Stones brought us a much needed memory that I will always cherish. I would love to see you back in the Bay Area! If you come to Sonoma Valley I will give you a private tasting of our boutique wine that we only grow and make to of course drink and give to friend. I would love to bring you a case! | The official Rolling Stones app
