Interim findings from the Advancing CBD Education and Science (ACES), a 100% virtual, open label, randomized controlled trial, show study participants experienced various degrees of "clinically meaningful" improvements in sleep quality, anxiety, and pain. “ACES is the largest clinical trial ever conducted on commercially available CBD products and provides first-of-its-kind real world evidence into what conditions users may experience benefit from CBD usage, whether these benefits are clinically meaningful, what attributes of CBD [...]

Comment microdoser du LSD m’aide à gérer mon autisme, Charlie Ellis, Vice, 08 Janvier 2020

Comment microdoser du LSD m'aide à gérer mon autisme Charlie Ellis Vice, 08 Janvier 2020 https://www.vice.com/fr/article/4agd7d/comment-microdoser-du-lsd-maide-a-gerer-mon-autisme "Je prends fréquemment de très petites quantités de psychédélique pour combler le fossé avec les personnes neurotypiques." C’est toujours le même rituel. J’aime les rituels, ils rationalisent l’absurdité de nos existences et me permettent de continuer à vivre. Réveil engourdi, lavage de mains compulsif, 20 grammes de café et 15 microgrammes de LSD sous la langue. Je suis prête à affronter le monde neurotypique – le monde de ceux qui ne sont pas autistes. Je suis autiste. Je pense, ressens et traite les informations de manière complètement différente. J’ai [...]

Psychedelics & Cannabis Therapeutics, Martin A. LEE, ProjectCBD.org, 2019

Psychedelics & Cannabis Therapeutics Martin A. Lee  April 17, 2019 https://www.projectcbd.org/culture/psychedelics-cannabis-therapeutics High doses of THC are hallucinogenic, and microdosing LSD is a lot like CBD. These mighty molecules can relieve human suffering and they act through the endocannabinoid system. Although it may not be obvious during these Trump-rattled times, we’re in the midst of a psychedelic revival. There is more interest than ever before in experimenting with LSD, magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, ketamine, and other psychedelic drugs. This renaissance is happening without all the fanfare of the day-glo Sixties, when lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) escaped from the laboratory and assumed the lead role in an improbable [...]
