Psychedelics: Past, present and future | Mark Haden | TEDxEastVan
NOTE FROM TED: This talk, which was filmed at a TEDx event, contains assertions about psychedelics as a treatment for psychological trauma that have yet to be fully demonstrated in peer-reviewed research. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
This TEDx talk explores psychedelics in history, the current research and a possible future model of post prohibition regulation based of the model of public health. Mark Haden has worked in the field of addiction services for 28 years and is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia in the School of Public and Population Health. He is an instructor at the University of British Columbia and has published studies on drug control policy in several Canadian and International academic journals. He works closely with the Health Officers of British Columbia on position papers related to market regulation of illegal drugs and in 2013 was awarded the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work on drug policy reform. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my Benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years.

I've done Mushrooms (100+) LSD (50+) DMT (100+) times, here is what I found. The only truly bad thing you can do with your life is to take it to seriously. Death is the only destination of life, so please don't hurry through, don't think of life as a journey, with a serious destination at the end. Realize it's all just play, it's a musical thing, and you are supposed to sing and dance your way through it.

Think realistically. People have killed themselves tripping alone. So that alone can be used on top of mass hysteria and propaganda scaring people away for good. to be in a controlled environment with people who will keep you safe and aim you in the direction your intent was (which can easily be forgotten on an intense trip) the overall positive effects will increase greatly. You can’t just say hey everyone should take this and do it alone because it worked for me. That isn’t a realistic way to imagine this actually being implemented. Though I do agree if everyone just took dmt or lsd or mushrooms rn, the world would be a very different place.

Fred Stone I’ve recently had a bad trip that showed me a lot about myself. Much needed but I’m not terrified of all drugs and the thing we have to realize is the decision won’t be made for us. If you want to use these as tools to find truths , fight the fear and overcome. Its what I’ve been telling myself. But if you don’t think you can handle the truths it shows you, ask yourself if you really want the truth, and if you really want to be a different person. You have so much time left to explore, it doesn’t have to be tonight or tomorrow. Just take your time and don’t take life too seriously.

I believe it will happen😊 I also believe that corporations and society will adjust very beautifully, corporations are just communities of people that develop and offer products and services. There is some contrasting stigmas behind corporations that jump all the way to corporate greed, there are 29million small business in the U.S. some of which are corporations. There is a wealth gap in the U.S. and throughout the World, but it should not just be seen as a gap in wealth. It is rather a gap in knowledge. There is a level of toxicity in only holding to the belief of corporations=bad and that things will never change such as the gap in wealth/knowledge. Although frustrating at first when discovering some of the truths of society, there is a vast beauty when educating ourselves and believing that things can change in our society. The answer and your individual answer in this role may not happen immediately, but keeping our eyes and heart open for the ways in which we can grow allows for those answers to fall beautifully into place, it is pivotal for one's self and for the whole😊 ~In'Lakesh~

As someone who has done psychedelics, he is completely right. You will understand things in several different perspectives and truly understand the depth of things.

LSD has been huge in helping me with my anxieties and it has really helped me understand my own brain more. Most recently it has helped me rationalize the stress from a breakup and give me hope that I'll be able to move on. I've transformed from being a zombie into being a functioning human being with a little heartache.

Im now 18 and I've done lsd 45+ times and mushrooms 3 times, and I've found psilocybin to be alot more therapeutic and loving compared to lsd which I've found to be good at showing you what's up but really working showing you how to work through it.

@Angry Yordie I've seen it with my own eyes help someone come to terms with a breakup in a roller-coaster 8 hours. To say that literally getting over every year of relationship took little over an hour has to be a world record of some sort.. All he said was "this energy is leashing/leeching/lashing me" "she's eating me out under" and the best last line.. "I'm becoming one with nature" before rolling into a bed sheet and sleeping on the grass.. I kid you not.. From hours long heart breaking conversations everyday to not a single word about her and generally not bringing it up because it's an "open wound".. This was during a weekend trip overseas.. By the time we arrived back, it was then an OK subject because "it's part of my life experience with all its good and bad.. We're not gonna cry over it for all eternity.. Haha, right?" obviously I wasn't laughing because..no if not for this magic maturity boost, I've been on this rodeo before with him and this usually lasts about 6 more months. It was literally like magic.. You have to see it to believe it. But I'm sure it also requires strong willed rational people.. Bad experiences can be very traumatic/and life altering. Seen that too.

I absolutely would not be enjoying the quality of life that I have today had I not worked with LSD. I never considered touching it until I heard that it could help with depression. After lots of research I went off on my own into the wilderness, tried it out, and immediately began having healing experiences. After a handful of other sessions my life completely changed course and I no longer struggle with depression. It's been a few years since then.

what I learned is that nothing in this life is truly that serious. That we dont own our bodies and we are not our bodies, we are more, we are much bigger and higeher beings than we think, that we are a part of a very vast whole, and insecribable whole. That life and death are not the end, that there is no end really. i had an awakening, a realization that i am not alone, that i am encompassed and protected by a bigger force, and wherever that force will take me after, i will be okay. we will be okay.
I've wanted to do psychedelic assisted therapy of some sort for a long time. The idea of being a traditional therapist fell apart the moment i learned how stubborn the mind typically is to change, and how effective psychedelics are in restructuring the mind..

Agreed. People have the freedom to imbibe w/e they want. I do think that theres an argument to be made that precautions should be made to avoid averse reactions as those can impact and negatively affect other people. Having a sober spotter is key, and as the speaker mentioned, set and setting are crucial. There's drug use and drug abuse, but the modern day era of drug prohibition basically views all drug use as drug abuse and the distinctions get lost in the noise.

So so good!
Having done LSD/mushrooms I'm confused how those drugs could be used to cure "fear/anxiety". it's SO intense and one has to let go of control to enjoy it.

"fear/anxiety" might be felt because it is still illegal in most parts of the globe !!! As u said, u gotta not stick to it and rather enjoy it.

The fear/anxiety comes from not being able to let go. Its a ride and you should not try to control the wheel.

Fear is tension which is an attempt to control

Even the direction to "let go" is unnecessary. The chance to understand the fears that we do hold is a part of the psychedelic ability to choose to feel something other than anxiety about fear. It might manifest as laughter at fear, or tears, or a kinesthetic reaction like spinning or dancing. That is the power of tripping. Understanding the fear and then altering our core response or you might find that you miss the panic rush...
Great talk
100% with everything he said!
Timothy Leary and his partner, Richard Alpert (who later became known as Ram Dass) were both fired from Harvard University for daring to advocate the use of psychedelics. Leary, content to stay in the United States, was well known for saying "turn on, tune in, drop out". Alpert went to India and sought out a well-known guru. When he found him, he was already in a deep state of Jnana (roughly translated as "meditation"). Alpert wanted to find out what affect a hit of LSD would have on him in the state the guru was already in. If I remember right, after seeing no response from the guru, Alpert gave him another hit. Alpert waited and waited and saw no reaction by the guru. This is what made Alpert (Ram Dass) want to stay in India and learn as much as he could. When Alpert returned to the United States, he wrote the book titled "Be Here Now". Alpert continued writing. and both he and Leary remained devoted to the pursuit of higher consciousness.

That indian guru was neem karoli baba. Apparently ramdass gave him massive dose of acid to the baba but he was still smiling and said that gurus and yogis have stopped using such techniques for altering their consciousness.

I would also like to see the neuron activity map on dreaming to compare with drugged and normal brain activity because drug, as I understand, unlocks your subconsciousness it is kind of happens while you are dreaming.

There seems to be a growing number of medical professionals coming forward to promote the proper use of psychedelic substances.
