No. 142 SEPTEMBER 2024
«Did you know that human beings have being consuming psychedelic substances for thousands of years? And that “bad trips» caused by taking LSD or «ayahuasca» are generally relatively rare and easy to avoid and are almost non-existent in scientific studies? In fact, the assisted therapies that use them seem to be more effective and the effects are faster than those produced by drugs in the treatment of conditions such as depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking and post-traumatic stress.
Hundreds of assessments of the potential of psychedelic substances are underway worldwide, including in Portugal, to determine the best treatment protocols and the safest practices for their use on people. This essay gives an overview of the situation and clarifies doubts about this new and surprising recourse to psychedelics, as well as their benefits and risks.
