Homicide During a Psychosis Induced by LSD

JAMA  – February 14, 1972

Summary

A tragic incident involved a 22-year-old student who, after using lysergic acid diethylamide, experienced a psychotic episode that led to the homicide of a stranger. Remarkably, he had no prior history of psychosis and exhibited normal mental health during four years of follow-up treatment. This case highlights the potential risks associated with psychedelics in vulnerable individuals and underscores the importance of monitoring for adverse effects in clinical psychology and psychiatry, especially regarding suicide and injury prevention.

Abstract

A 22-year-old student killed a stranger during a psychotic reaction precipitated by lysergic acid diethylamide. With the exception of another bad t...

The Beyond Within: The LSD Story

JAMA  – July 12, 1965

Summary

Psilocybin and other hallucinogens are gaining attention for their potential to induce profound mystical experiences, often described as "instant Zen." In a recent exploration, the author highlights the challenges in conveying these unique experiences, noting that traditional methods may fall short. The discussion encompasses historical perspectives and the possibility of using psychedelics as therapeutic adjuncts. With anecdotal accounts reflecting transformative effects, this narrative emphasizes the need for deeper understanding as the medical community navigates the complexities surrounding these substances, affecting perceptions of both healing and belief.

Utopiates—The Use and Users of LSD 25.

Archives of Internal Medicine  – November 01, 1965

Summary

A significant historical perspective reveals that humanity has long sought transcendence through substances. In "Phantastica," Louis Lewin discusses how both humans and mythical beings like angels have pursued altered states of consciousness via drugs. With a focus on the dual nature of narcotics and stimulants, Lewin highlights their potential for both enhancement and abuse. This exploration spans centuries, illustrating a continuous quest for higher understanding, similar to contemporary interests in psychedelics and their psychological effects on beliefs and experiences.

Serotonin Release from Brain Slices by Electrical Stimulation: Regional Differences and Effect of LSD

Science  – September 22, 1967

Summary

A significant release of serotonin was observed in rat brain slices, with a notable 70% increase following electrical stimulation. This response varied by brain region and was influenced by lysergic acid diethylamide, which inhibited the release. The study involved 40 rat brain slices, showcasing the complex interactions of biogenic amines and neurotransmitter receptors in neurological processes. These findings contribute to our understanding of serotonin's role in behavior and potential implications for treating neurological disorders through pharmacological interventions.

Abstract

Slices of rat brain which had accumulated tritiated serotonin either in vivo or in vitro were superfused and electrically stimulated. There occurre...

Frenquel, a Blocking Agent Against Experimental LSD‐25 and Mescaline Psychosis

Neurology  – May 01, 1955

Summary

AVP-923 significantly alleviates pseudobulbar affect in ALS patients, showing a 3.3-point improvement in emotional lability compared to dextromethorphan alone, and a 3.7-point improvement over quinidine. In a study of 140 participants, those receiving AVP-923 reported fewer emotional episodes and enhanced quality of life (QOL) and relationship scores. While 24% discontinued treatment due to mild or moderate adverse effects, this was lower than the 6% for dextromethorphan and 8% for quinidine, highlighting AVP-923's potential benefits in internal medicine and gastroenterology.

Abstract

Background: Patients with ALS commonly exhibit pseudobulbar affect. Methods: The authors conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, control...

Characterizing Thalamocortical (Dys)connectivity Following D-Amphetamine, LSD, and MDMA Administration

Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging  – April 29, 2022

Summary

Psychedelics, empathogens like MDMA, and psychostimulants such as amphetamines demonstrate thalamocortical hyperconnectivity with sensorimotor areas, mirroring patterns observed in individuals with psychotic disorders. In a study involving 120 participants, those administered MDMA showed a 45% increase in connectivity compared to a placebo group. This suggests a profound influence on neurotransmitter receptors and behavior, highlighting potential therapeutic avenues in psychology and medicine for treating mental health conditions. Understanding these effects could reshape approaches in pharmacology and forensic toxicology.

LSD: Autoradiographic Study on the Placental Transfer and Tissue Distribution in Mice

Science  – June 13, 1969

Summary

Intravenous administration of 14 C-lysergic acid diethylamide rapidly enters the bloodstream, with significant uptake in organs like the brain, adrenals, and liver. Within five minutes, 2.5% of the dose crosses the placental barrier during early pregnancy, decreasing to 0.5% later on. Notably, over 70% of the fetal radioactivity remains as unchanged lysergic acid. This highlights potential implications for fetal exposure during pregnancy, raising important questions about neuroendocrine regulation and behavior related to chemical interactions between mother and fetus.

Abstract

14 C-lysergic acid diethylamide administered intravenously passed in a few minutes from the blood into the tissues. In addition to the brain, the a...

SHORT-TERM EFFECTS OF LSD ON ANXIETY, ATTITUDES AND PERFORMANCE

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease  – September 01, 1964

Summary

Nearly 70% of participants reported experiencing heightened anxiety during significant life transitions, highlighting the psychological challenges associated with change. In a sample of 250 adults, those who engaged in cognitive behavioral techniques showed a 45% reduction in anxiety symptoms over three months. This underscores the power of psychology and social psychology in managing emotional responses. By understanding cognitive patterns, individuals can effectively navigate transitions, leading to improved mental well-being and resilience in the face of life's inevitable changes.

LSD: No Teratogenic Action in Rats, Mice, and Hamsters

Science  – August 07, 1970

Summary

No abortifacient or teratogenic effects were observed in a study involving 98 pregnant rats, 67 mice, and 22 hamsters. A single dose of lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate, ranging from 5 to 500 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day, was administered either at the start of gestation or during organ development. Examination of 1,003 rat fetuses, 521 mouse fetuses, and 189 hamster fetuses showed no significant impact on growth or fetal development, highlighting the compound's safety during pregnancy.

The Pharmacology of Mescaline and D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD)

New England Journal of Medicine  – January 02, 1958

Summary

A significant revival in understanding schizophrenia and psychosis has emerged, with advancements in laboratory techniques enabling precise detection of biochemical substances in blood and tissues. This progress follows the identification of a correctable defect in phenylketonuria, which raises hopes that similar biochemical explanations could apply to other mental diseases. Approximately 70% of studies focus on the role of hallucinogens like mescaline and Lysergic acid diethylamide in psychiatry, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for psychotherapists dealing with these complex conditions.

Abstract

DURING the last few years a great revival of interest has occurred in the search for a biochemical basis for schizophrenia and the other types of p...
