Extended Trip: Why LSD's Effects Last So Long

http://www.livescience.com/57658-why-lsd-effects-last-so-long.html

"...Their results, which were published today (Jan. 26) in the journal Cell, showed that theLSD molecule nestles into the serotonin receptor's binding pocket. Then, some of the amino acids within the serotonin receptor act like a lid, pushing the LSD molecule deeper inside the receptor's pocket, and trapping it there for a long time, said study co-author John McCorvy, a postdoctoral fellow in pharmacology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill..."

 

 

Dr. Brian Roth, the study's senior author and a professor of pharmacology at UNC, said he used to see people who took LSD having such trips at concerts by the band the Grateful Dead.

"It would be interesting to be in the parking lot hearing people wondering when their LSD experience was going to end," Roth said in a statement. "A lot of people who take the drug are not aware of just how long it lasts."

Hi Alan, hope all is well.

Maybe they can figure a way for it to last only a few hrs. Long enough for a show, but not an all night commitment.

on tour the hallucinogenic level in my blood remained constant.  it took weeks to not to feel it anymore.

It's called Mushrooms, MarkD.

LSD May Help Reveal What Makes Music Meaningful

http://www.livescience.com/57666-lsd-reveals-what-makes-music-meaningful...

"In the study, researchers asked people to take the drug lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, and then were able to pinpoint how people's brains ascribed meaning to specific factors, such as songs, in their environment.

It turns out that this connection to meaning may involve certain areas of the brain that previous research has tied to how people experience their sense of self, the researchers said."

 

 

^funny. I tripped at reagan's inauguration in '81.  high school field trip, literally

Q: You said in one of your Instagram posts that you were "representing the Scumbag Party of America." What did you mean by that?

A: We're few and far between. It doesn't matter who our president is: We're still going to do acid, smoke weed, we're still going to listen to loud music. We're still going to be us. We are the scumbags of America.

 

It seems that all of his Instagram posts (or the account itself) have been deleted in the last 24 hours or so. Shocking.
