Les champignons vous rendent plus intelligent?

Les chercheurs Juan Sanchez-Ramos et Briony Catlow à l'Université de Floride du Sud viennent de commencer une nouvelle étude excitante pour voir si la psilocybine (composant actif dans les champignons hallucinogènes) peut aider à promouvoir la naissance et le développement de nouvelles cellules du cerveau (neurogenèse) dans l'hippocampe, qui est associée avec l'apprentissage et la mémoire.

L'étude est basée sur les conclusions de plusieurs chercheurs qui ont montré que l’apprentissage par l'hippocampe est lié à la génération de nouveaux neurones dans le cerveau adulte.

La proposition que la psilocybine influence la cognition, et stimule la neurogenèse hippocampique, se base sur le fait que la psilocybine imite le neurotransmetteur sérotonine, qui est impliqué dans la régulation de neurogenèse dans l'hippocampe. Nous sommes impatients de connaître les résultats de cette étude passionnante.

The good news here is that fundamental research into our favorite fungi can still expect to be funded, even in this day and age. This study would seem to affirm Terrence McKenna’s “stoned ape” theory, that those early humans who ate psilocybin mushrooms thereby gained a cognitive, and in the long run evolutionary, advantage over those who didn’t. McKenna attributes the development of man’s “higher,” e.g. symbolic, mental and creative, capacities to the inclusion of psychoactive plants in early homo sapiens’ diet. I always recommend ‘shrooms to people with an interest in linguistics, literature and philosophy, for their capacity to make tangible and concrete what is ordinarily abstract.

Now the bad news: this is all the more reason for the powers that be to ban the darn things. Let’s face it, intelligence – which isn’t the same as specialism - is not an asset in modern society, let alone a quality deemed desirable for many people to have. The powers that be – both of the state of the transglobal corporation – are presently waging an all out war against citizens’/consumers’ capacities to think for themselves. Make no mistake, my friends, their agenda is nothing less than the transformation of humanity at large into a throng of mindless automatons who can be reprogrammed and reconditioned as power sees fit. There are good reasons why nicotine, caffeine and alcohol are rarely even considered drugs in our present society. It is because these substances effect a diminishing of consciousness, and are little more than legal crank, the REAL opium of herd culture.

I eagerly await the results of this study.

Man we were gonna post those results but we were so basted. We were tripping so much balls that when we went to print off our study all that I could do was melt my face into the keyboard.

At about the age of 17 me and a group of friends noticed while tripping that one of the group who had a lifelong small stutter/stammer when he spoke was cured whilst under the influence.30 years later it has still not returned.Prohibition of drugs is a tragic abuse of human rights based on ignorance and exploitation.Another gift of nature ignored.
