Johns Hopkins University is looking for people with current or past cancers for a self-exploration study involving mushrooms.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University are seeking volunteers with a current or past diagnosis of cancer who have some anxiety or are feeling down about their cancer to participate in a scientific study of self-exploration and personal meaning brought about by the entheogen psilocybin, a psychoactive substance found in mushrooms used as a sacrament in some cultures, given in a comfortable, supportive setting. Questionnaires and interviews will be used to assess the effects of the substance on consciousness, mood, and behavior.

Just don’t tell the volunteers that Timothy Leary died of prostate cancer in 1996, they’d be in for a bad trip man.
We love Baltimore!!!!!!
Buck, you out there? Having recently been unceremoniously booted from the T&G website (don’t ask why, ‘cuz I certainly don’t know) I’m looking for a new place to mock, deride and basically point out the failings of the lockstep Libs in MA. I figured I’d come here and lo and behold, no message board. Where do you get your chat-fixes these days?
Tom, you’re always welcome to mock and deride me, but for message boards try http://www.worcesterite.com
Thanks.
I just signed up for Worcesterite and took a look around. Seems okay, but not much political discussion going on. I’ll start a thread sooner or later.
Oh, and the proviso to “not be a jerk” probably means “do not be anything but a Left-wing ideologue with at least two Deval Patrick stickers on your Prius”, doesn’t it?
No sweat, I’m used to it.
I want to hear more about how one is kicked off the T&G website.
Yeah, me too.
