Near as I can tell, they are essentially synonyms, but in practice "derivate" is "a product obtained chemically from a raw material", while "derivative" tends to be used in the mathematical or financial senses.
Kinda like orient and orientate. Maybe there's a word for this class of variations. Or variants?
It is tragically funny to consider linking quietness of mind with LSD. It is everything but quiet
The "neuroplasticity" which leads to a relative quietness presumably comes after the psychedelic experience. Interestingly, the paper only lists the following adverse effects: visual perceptual changes, nausea, and headache. Given that the patients in the double-blind study were those who suffer from moderate to severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I could imagine some significant anxiety in the 200 µg active group!…
These are well established and lots of research is going on as to why psychedelics seem to put us into a critical period.
Lsd, psylocybin and mdma all seem to do it. Peyote does too.
While in the critical period, usually a week to 3 months, it is very important to surround oneself with what they want to focus on.
I’d be afraid of a treatment like this where you’re sort of different after one treatment. From experience taking ssris, I took one one that worked so well that I had to stop taking it because it removed stress to the extent that I wouldn’t get to class on time or get my homework done before deadlines. Eventually I found a medicine that worked for me. But, if there’s a “before” vs “after” one shot treatment, you have…
Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to try that for my GAD even if they confirm the positive effects due to stigma surrounding psychoactive drugs! Yay!
There are lots of ways you could try LSD tho.

psilocybin is easy to find (even legally, in certain jurisdictions) or cultivate yourself.
I'd argue that the results might not be from the drugs but from the fact that they were heavily monitored by other humans. It's not the drugs that people with high anxiety need, it's people giving them attention and caring for them. These experiments need a control where they just take the drug and they don't have medical staff around.
Isn't that basically the same as them using a placebo? If just care has the same effect, then surely heavily monitoring them while providing a placebo drug should work.

mhm where i live you can go to a hydro grow store and buy the spores that you definitely SHOULD NOT inject into the aio grow bag conveniently placed nearby lol
