Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

MAPS helps people to keep abreast with the therapeutic and positive effects of psychedelics. The hype around the bad effects suppresses the immense benefits that can be derived if the same drugs are used in a therapeutic setting under supervision. Its high time to get some real knowledge on the so called drugs our youngsters are using and see if theres any fire behind the smoke. Substances classified as Psychoactive have indubitably been used since the beginning of time across all cultures. And there must be a reason to why our elders were fans of ayahuasca, peyote and mescaline, to name a few. Its time to rediscover that knowledge and use it safely to bring our brains back into balance with nature. We need to know more and be fully informed before we slander substances as "bad". A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. MAPS is the future. Of right info on drugs. We don't trust a government that lets the most violence causing substances sell freely Hint hint! ALCOHOL! yet keeps marijuana, the chill pill like high illegal. Ever heard of domestic violence after ONLY a JOINT? (not taken together with other things, alcohol etc)....we need to be INFORMED! And MAPS does it! Thank you. I do wish you would hold conferences the world over though instead of concentrating them in some areas as i live on the other side of the world and can't really attend them :(. The rest is Good. Thank you. Keep going!!!!
