What's far more terrifying about this practice is that it's a method of reprogramming the way someone thinks. This is "Clockwork Orange" level experimentation.
Imagine this being used in concentration camps or interrogations. Getting people to a mental state where they have no choice but to confess or conform because their minds will no longer let them "touch the cigarette".
This is very scary.
- empath75 7y agoThe CIA tried this with MK ULTRA. It doesn't actually work and they abandoned it.
- Smithalicious 7y agoGranted this did supposedly give us the Unabomber so there's reason to be skeptical of such practices. Not to say that what these researchers are doing is MKULTRA.
- empath75 7y agoThey didn't use psychedelics on the unabomber.
- bsenftner 7y agoI totally agree. This is yet another Capitalists Play to sell a shit load of dangerous crap under the guise of healthcare. Yet another opioid-like crisis in its infancy. Just wait until this is available like pot and watch thousands of people who can't handle bare reality melt down and become burdens. (FWIW, I am experienced.)
- throw51319 7y agoIt is true. Less experienced with shrumz, but he had one powerful experience with that in pitch dark in bedroom. Also had a lot of Keta experiences. These will break down weak peoples' ideas of what their reality is... and they prob won't be able to handle that. Opened minded people of course can, because they are used to going with the flow of life.

- chachachoney 7y agoThere's a difference between enlisting help to enact desired changes in ones consciousness and being brainwashed. There's nothing "Clockwork Orange" about this.
- monktastic1 7y agoActually, it's about deprogramming. Cigarettes are a habit. Realizing that you don't need cigarettes to enjoy life is the removal of a habit. Nobody is forcing you to realize this; it's the natural result of a renewed joy for life. It's kind of the opposite of scary.
