How can illegal drugs help our brains | David Nutt | TEDxBrussels

"Talk covers the wonderous complexity of the brain - the most complex organ in the universe - but one which often goes wrong - so that the cost of brain disorders is greater than that of cancer diabetes and cardiovascular diseases together.
David Nutt explains how through decades of education and training the brain constrains the contents of the mind by limiting its activity and directions.
And then he will show how psychedelic drugs can break open these limitations to allow new ways of thinking that can help people overcome problems such as depression - and argue that the UN regulations controlling these drugs should be eased so much more therapeutic research can be conducted with these and other “illegal” drugs to benefit humanity."
David Nutt is a psychiatrist and the Edmund J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology in the Division of Brain Science, Dept of Medicine, Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College London.
Here he uses a range of brain imaging techniques to explore the causes of addiction and other psychiatric disorders and to search for new treatments.
He has published over 450 original research papers, a similar number of reviews and books chapters, eight government reports on drugs and 30 books, including one for the general public, Drugs: without the hot air, that won the Transmission Prize in 2014.
He is currently the President of the European Brain Council and Founding Chair of DrugScience.org.uk (formerly the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD).
Previously he has been president of the British Association of Psychopharmacology, the British Neuroscience Association and the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.
He broadcasts widely to the general public both on radio and television. In 2010 The Times Eureka science magazine voted him one of the 100 most important figures in British Science, and the only psychiatrist in the list.
In 2013 he was awarded the John Maddox Prize from Nature/Sense about Science for standing up for science.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    @@bethvantuyle3357 Wow you really experienced this? Your friends started taking the psychedelics this man was talking about and became less successful? I have experienced the exact opposite. I have seen friends coming from being depressed, unsuccessful, unsocial people to people who are happy, successful thriving additions to society. I did some research and I actually found a lot of evidence backing this up including people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs who have used LSD, Steve Jobs actually took it monthly. I have also seen quotes from millionaires saying all self-made millionaires they know take psychedelics or did somewhere in their life. I am very surprised by your experience as it is quite contrary to what I experienced through life. Perhaps you were talking about weed in particular? Weed seems to amplify everything, so a lazy person would become very lazy. I know people like this one friend who is really into sports and smokes everyday. This guy is ripped, super healthy and the dude cycled from Hanover to London as a holiday trip. Regarding intelligence and professional success I experienced that cannabis/psychedelics did not negatively impact people. Cannabis does seem to make it easier for people to be lazy, but it did not necessarily make them lazy. It facilitated laziness. This does not mean people are lazy when they use cannabis. I have a friend who has a Phd in Bioinformatics and hiked to Mount Everest Basecamp During his previous vacation. I am not saying taking drugs is good. I am merely saying that the general opinion of drugs is pathetic. People are redicioulusly undereducated regarding Drugs and it is hurting society. People everywhere are drinking alcohol destroying their liver and brain cells while they could've also vaped some weed and spared their brains some damage.

    In the context he is using the world though, this isn't true. Brain imaging research done by Nutt since this talk has shown that psychedelics like psilocybin, DMT and LSD act by shutting down the part of the brain which typically regulates what we might loosely call 'open mindedness'. It is the removal of this constraint on free thinking that makes psychedelics psychedelic. MDMA does not appear to produce this same effect in brain scans. So in the sense that these drugs can produce hallucinations and create altered states of consciousness, you could call them psychedelic. But in terms of what we are currently learning about how they work neurologically, it's useful to have a distinction in how we label them.

    Things like what he's talking about have so much potential to help people but the government sadly will never let it happen. They don't want to cure people because when they're cured of something then the money that's made from regular treatments goes away and they don't want that. The war on drugs has proven fruitless and futile. Just like alcohol prohibition it doesn't work and never will. The demand is too high and the potential is too amazing.

    The treatment is one dose. It's possible with really bad cases that someone might need one dose per year. The psychedelic effects last 8-12 hours, of a drug that unlike aspirin and ibuprofen has no lethal dose, but the therapeutic effects are long term. There is no dependence on LSD, anyone using it all the time is just being lazy, the same as someone who goes to church all the time instead of working. They both need to grow up and get a job, the only difference is that the person using LSD is actually in God's house.

    Федор Назаров after i stopped using cannabis (because of probation) I had a real hard time sleeping. I would go to bed at 10 pm and maybe call asleep around 5 am. But I don’t believe it’s because of the cannabis, cuz one of the reasons I started using, was because I had a hard time falling asleep.

    I believe from the most recent research by Nutt the relapse rate was fairly high, around 80% after several (6?) months. But that's for a single intervention and these are people who did not respond to conventional treatments, so 20% is still a pretty good success rate. And the other 80% mostly did see improvement, they just relapsed after a while. It may be that several treatments 3-6 months apart would provide a lasting effect, although I don't think the trials have progressed to this point in 2021

    Is this the same person (Prof. Nutt) who is working on developing a substance ( like alcohol) that gets you drunk but gives you No Hangover? I read about it in a free paper called "Valley Advocate" but it gave no first name. It does seem like he is interested in the same, but I have no way of knowing it is the same person or not. It was published on October 12, 2017. I will try to look into it.

    Bad news I'm afraid. If my information/memory is correct, he was was indeed working on something like you describe, but the research was shut down by the Psychoactive Substances Act brought in last year. The new law was in response to the 'legal high' industry, but the wording of it meant that ANY new substance deemed to be psychoactive, would be automatically banned, regardless of it's actual risks/benefits. I don't want to get too conspiracy theorist here, but clearly a massive win for alcohol/tobacco/pharma, as it basically protects them from any future competition.

    Hi guys . Please tell me it now can help Bipolar 1...? According to Dr Fadiman (2018) ,you can use shrooms in a “depressed state.” But not recommended for use in manic states. Does ecstasy help bipolar? I had my first manic episode at age 37. Then diagnosed as bipolar and ptsd. I WISH I only had ptsd cause then I would take shrooms or lsd. I’ve been in a low state so Micro-dosed .5 grams every 3 days for a month. I felt great for about 3 months . I want to do it again but not sure what studies/ data show in 2019.

I've personally had amazing experiences on them many years ago. Alcohol is undoubtedly a far more dangerous drug. But there is no doubt that some people go haywire on psychedelics. I know a guy who ate magic mushrooms 50 years ago and essentially has never been a reasonably functioning human since that day. So there are some risks but the rewards are worth it, in my opinion.

    Lady Sarah of Chaol Ghleann it’s not directly dangerous, though for some it can be unpleasant. I’d say go ahead and try it out. That’s the only way you’re gonna know. Different people have different experiences. For me, it makes the weed high more sativa-like (if it’s an indica. I’ve never tried with sativa strains). It takes kinda the good things of a sativa high and combining it with an indica high. Very relaxed and calm, but also motivated, uplifting, and happy.

    Cannabis is a medical necessity for all those of us who have been innocently and ignorantly consuming metabolically poisonous polyunsaturated Vegetable oils in our diets and getting one or more of many more modern metabolic diseases and cancers. You need to exclude snack, takeaways, restaurant fried and manufactured foods. The solution is to go vegan and take cannabis supplementation until you are better (maybe 2 years or so) while getting all vegetable extract, industrially refined oils out of your diet. You can use some polysaturated animal food-based oil, that in all animal products if you are not quite so worried about living as long as reasonably possible while remaining perfectly healthy.
