I would like to know the sources for the previous findings upon which this study is based. I am gathering information about psilocybin to write a paper for my psychology class, and this might be helpful.”

Well then I would WELCOME being in the stoneage then.

But despite that what you say is of course utter bullshit if you have even bothered to look at all the numerous sources which would tell you ABUSING and killing animals in what they term Orwellian style ‘animal testing’ is pointless and really is sadism.

I would like for you to swap places with one of their unfortunate victims. Really—seing that you seem to deify this uselsss sadism so much.

Keep in mind that animals are essential in elucidating the molecular basis of suffering. Once we can dampen those pathways, both humans and animals will benefit.

Especially thinking about the similarities of serotonin and psilocybin.

But what about rights of animals? I remember Tim Leary—who many in the new psychedelic movement use as a scapegoat now–in that he spoiled research years ago, and got it banned. But he had Two Commandments:

Two Commandments for the Molecular Age

1. Thou shalt not alter the consciousness of thy fellow men.
2. Thou shalt not prevent thy fellow man from altering his or her own consciousness.

Now I add the commandment 3:

Thoushalt not alter the consciousness of thy relations, animals, or any other species.

If anyone has read Psychedelics and Animals, by Giorgio Samorini ( A great book) you will see animals, and other species often DO choose to alter their consciousness, but it is their choice!
