Today, almost every person who knows something about drugs knows very well about psychedelics, also known as hallucinogens. Indeed, this type of drug is very common in many countries of the world, mainly in North America, Europe and Russia. And very often the harm of psychedelics is seriously underestimated.
Perhaps any expert will tell you with confidence that psychedelics are another type of drug - substances that humanity has created to intoxicate itself with subsequent destruction. Psychedelics can be of both natural and artificial origin, and in different countries the most common are precisely those types that are most easily accessible. The term itself was introduced by researcher Humphrey Osmond, who devoted his career to studying one of the most terrible and dangerous psychedelics - LSD. Literally translated from Greek, it translates as "expanding consciousness." In fact, this term is not entirely correct, after all, psychedelic substances do not allow you to use feelings that are not available in the "normal mode", as some experts believe (especially those working in the field of occult "sciences"), but simply cause hallucinations. Of course, each person needs to know more about psychedelics in order to be able to make their choice, and choosing life, and not dubious pleasure.
Of course, if you are interested in the topic of psychedelics, then it will be useful for you to know what types of drugs are included in this group. Of course, the most common type is marijuana. Yes, it has exactly the same mechanism of action on the human body and psyche as all other psychedelics, although its effect is much weaker than that of other drugs included in this group. Also here we can include LSD, beta-carbolines, amphetamine-like compounds, ibogaine substances, tryptamine hallucinogens and some others. All of them are united by the fact that they have approximately the same effect on the addict's body.
Some of them have a more powerful effect, while others have a less powerful effect. However, one thing is certain - starting with the weakest drugs (marijuana), most addicts gradually move on to heavier ones, especially if they have the opportunity to buy psychedelics with a minimum level of risk. Well, if we are talking not about our country, but about the whole world in general, then in many countries some psychedelics are legal and allowed for sale. In some countries this is explained by the need for use in medicine, while in others it is not explained at all. As an example, we can cite the Netherlands, the USA, many Asian countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and others). In Switzerland, marijuana was also legalized for a while as an experiment, but after only a few months, its sale was banned, and there were no more attempts to repeat the experiment - it cost the gene pool of an entire nation too much. The harm of psychedelics turned out to be very obvious.
Of course, all psychedelics have different effects. However, in general, they can be classified and put into a general framework. First of all, the use of these drugs is accompanied by hallucinations. Which is understandable - after all, another name for psychedelics is hallucinogens. That is why many plant hallucinogens have been used since ancient times by shamans of many tribes (usually the most backward, living in Africa, Australia, America). However, psychedelic drugs are still used today. First of all, these are fans of various occult sciences. It is thanks to drugs that they enter a state of trance. Of course, hallucinogens simply allow them to enter a state of temporary madness (this is a fairly accurate term, with which many experts agree), in order to later pass off their crazy visions as messages from other worlds or revelations from spirits, angels, the devil or the Lord. Alas, these drugs are often taken and presentedlyami ordinary youth. As a rule, they just want to have fun and relax. Beer no longer "gets them going", and if they have heard anything about the harm of psychedelics, it is rather vague and not very detailed.
The effect of psychedelics is ordinary hallucinations. Moreover, these can be either feelings close to euphoria, from which a person feels surprisingly light, or completely opposite. Persecution mania, unaccountable fear, severe depression - all this is also a consequence of drug use. In a state of such depression, drug addicts who decide to buy psychedelics and experience their effect on themselves often commit suicide, confident that this is the only way they can get rid of all their problems, the grayness and meaninglessness of life. The fear that psychedelics cause often literally kills. A person who is sure that a maniac (alien, monster) is chasing him can simply jump out of a window or cut his veins. Sometimes he responds with unmotivated rage, generated by the same mania. In such a state, the drug addict is quite capable of killing parents or children who accidentally came into his field of vision. He is not responsible for his actions at all, like a patient with severe stages of schizophrenia.
Of course, for many years now, there have been heated discussions in medicine, politics and other areas of life about whether psychedelics are harmful. Perhaps it is stupid to argue about this. How can drugs be harmless to health? Of course, only a person who makes a good profit from drug addicts can say so.
What does the use of psychedelics bring? Of course, broken families - no sane person would want to connect their life with a drug addict who has mood swings, unmotivated aggression and is not responsible for their actions.
With prolonged use of this type of drug (no matter how they are taken - smoking, injections, pills or soaked blotters) the human brain loses many of its functions - they are simply blocked. A person can never think logically again, he is often haunted by hallucinations, even if he does not take drugs. Any slightest trouble drives him into depression. It may well be that because of some trifle a person can commit suicide. It is not surprising that many of the most ardent supporters of the "harmlessness of psychedelics" end their lives in psychiatric hospitals.
As practice shows, the likelihood of the birth of children with congenital physical or mental disabilities in people who "dabble in light drugs" increases many times over. Moreover, for women, taking drugs is especially dangerous - after all, they are future mothers, so one joint smoked out of curiosity is enough to give birth to a disabled child in the future, many years later.
Someone may be surprised that today much is said about the consequences of psychedelic drug use and very little about how to help children and teenagers avoid this terrible danger. Well, one thing is for sure - from prosperous families, in which parents pay due attention to the upbringing and moral character of children, the army of drug addicts practically does not receive replenishment. Why is this?
In fact, everything is very simple. Teenagers usually get hooked on any drugs, especially soft ones (like beer) out of boredom or curiosity. That is, if a teenager has no hobby, spends all his free time doing nothing, simply does not know what to do with himself, then the likelihood that he will “try something new” increases significantly.
But if a teenager has interests, then this danger decreases hundreds of times. And it does not matter at all what the teenager is interested in. It can be boxing or stamp collecting, trips to nature or breeding aquarium fish, reading or building sailboat models, caring for pets or drawing - the main thing is that he always has something to do that he really likes to do.
Well, and besides, the right parents will eventually tell him about the effects of psychedelics, alcohol and other toxic substances. This really helps the child live a correct and happy life. And he will never even think about the possibility of using drugs.
So, maybe you should take a break from watching TV series and football matches and spend a few hours a week talking with your child and finding common activities? You can be sure that in the future it will be returned in abundance.
