The archaic revival takes one step closer towards the light; hopefully the mistakes and blind ignorance of the past is not reiterated in the future and we can create something beautiful from the ashes of closed perception…

Great news!

And what I like about the good news about psychedelics as opposed to the bad news in the media, is the authenticity of it.

I like the term "resurgence" 8)
But "medical hallucinogens" I'm not so crazy about...

But "medical hallucinogens" I'm not so crazy about...

The latin 'hallucinare' means to wander around in the mind, as in "exploring the inner realms."

Not all vision-generating substances are classified as hallucinogens. For example, Erowid distinguishes Datura as a deliriant.

OK, cool I'm not that much into substance classification, but Webster dictionary (and others) says:

Main Entry: hal·lu·ci·no·gen
: a substance and especially a drug that induces hallucinations

Datura doesnt cause visions . Datura makes people into psychotic zombies in a nightmare world and causes amnesia wich is the opposit of visions !!!!

Ten years on there is much more scientific research going on with substances such as LSD, MDMA and ketamine. Well worth keeping up to date with developments.
