Psychedelic drug use in healthy individuals: A review of benefits, costs, and implications for drug policy

 

Abstract

The potential of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of mental health problems is increasingly being recognized. However, relatively little thrust has been given to the suggestion that individuals without any mental health problems may benefit from using psychedelic drugs, and that they may have a right to do so. This review considers contemporary research into the use of psychedelic drugs in healthy individuals, including neurobiological and subjective effects. In line with findings suggesting positive effects in the treatment of mental health problems, such research highlights the potential of psychedelic drugs for the enhancement of wellbeing even in healthy individuals. The relatively low risk associated with usage does not appear to align with stringent drug laws that impose heavy penalties for their use. Some policy implications, and suggestions for future research, are considered.

 

Eindelijk iemand die durft te zeggen wat we allemaal denken!

 

Interessant en wel overwogen artikel, en ik zeg dat niet alleen omdat ik het met de conclusies eens ben.
