I know it might seem cruel to some people, but I am very interested in what the results of this experiment would look like... NOTE: I am 99% sure no one will ever try this. As an experiment have two new born (males,females) of the same gender... have one of them lead a normal drug free life, and have the other tripping balls all of it's life, now what would the child tripping act like compared to the other? would it be crazy?, or just fluently creative? Would it ever be able to function without it's fix of Psychedelics? Post your thoughts, be an asshole if you want, I don't care.
how early would you start the dosing. 15, 12, 6. or right from birth. I know that there are kids who've dosed because they had parents who gave it to them back in the day. Maybe you should just find one of them. I think they'd have a speech impediment and would be very spacey.
thats b/c it is cruel. the experiment treats a human life as if its no more valuable then an ant in a completely hypothetical situation, i think it would mentally destroy the child
I disagree. In a world where acid is percieved as a hardcore drug restricted to deviants and crazy hippies, then it has the potential to destroy someone mentally, but if a child is raised on LSD as though it were a standard part of life, like taking their vitamins or brushing their teeth, I think they'd be all the better for it. http://www.neurodiversity.com/library_abramson_1967.html
i dont view acid as a hardcore drug, i advocate its use to others. but i dont think that a child should be given mind altering drugs at a very young age. there would be serious potential to impair the normal growth of the brain. i agree that childern should be raised with the ideas that psychedelics are not evils, but childern shouldnt be forced to consume them
I'm assuming this is all hypothetical because no human being should ever be treated as an experiment. That being said, if the brain didn't develop normally, you could wonder "How would it develop?". A child's mind is a blank slate, and in a normal life it is exposed to "normal" things which affect how it develops. For example, a baby will hear people talk and eventually learn to talk itself. But if it was in a psychedelic state would the mind develop to cope with that situation? It would be truly interesting to find out how it did develop.
There are several indigenous groups of people give psychedelic plants to young children as part of there religion/culture, though not continuously all the time. Medical studies have been done on them and they were found be be healthy with no great chance of mental illness then other non-psychedelic groups. Even back in the 60's, like at Millbrook with Tim Leary, Lsd was given to children. Here is a link to an interview about Lsd with a kid from Millbrook- http://youtube.com/watch?v=_V4K7FepKw4
i dont think its a good idea. i think that drugs can show us brilliant thoughts but they disrupt the developmental process of the brain. biology of all organism families that have developed over earth's lifetime in a very specific manner. i do not believe this involved the ingestion of drugs to a significant level until after the most significant evolutionary advances of man. i dont think administration of drugs, especially psychedelics or marijuana, will do any good to the development of the person's mind and perception. other chemmy drugs like alcohol, speed, sedatives, these drugs are also bad but in a different way. they are bad in the same way they are to adults except much much worse, almost definate adult dependancy. but drugs that change your way of thinking do not premote concrete learning. you should develop a good sober mind and then bend that with psychedelics, not try to make an extra bent mind by bending it while it develops. what happens then is that it just grows mishapen and not enhanced at all by the drug. imagine your mind like a flexible piece of plastic. if you bend it back, it will fling into its original position, charged with energy. perhaps a tune may ring. if you keep bending it, however, it will simply go out of shape and eventually it will not fling back to its original position or shape. now imagine instead that this plastic piece is a plant. as it grows, it gets larger and stronger. a young tree is very flexible and can sometimes be bent to the ground to have it spring back into place with force. if you keep bending the tree it might split a bit or simply go a bit limp and less flexible. if you bend the sapling, before it has grown into a bigger tree, it may wilt immediately, or perhaps take a while to eventually return to its upright position. perhaps it may simply grow at an odd angle. if you hold the sapling down in the bent state, it will simply grow into a shitty floor plant. however, perhaps if you continue with this analogy (which is very defficient, but effective) a good plan of action would be to bend the young plant a little bit once it has the strength to return to an upright position (young saplings havnt even established their final direction of growth). just small bends and eventually, the sapling may develop scars around its base and become more rigid, resulting in a straight tree. however, its rigidity would leave it easier to break if bent in the future. im gonna end it now
