OK, now make a molecule which gives you a trip without the psychological effects. It would be cool to have a sober mind and at the same time see completely realized halucinations (not pressing-on-the-eyebulb I see weird colors, but fully formed people and things undistinguishable from reality, like when you are dreaming). I'm not sure that's even possible.
But I think you could invent a lot of interesting recreational drugs in theory, alas nobody is developing them because there is no incentive and they would be illegal. Soma? Cigarettes that are safe? Aphrodisiacs? Drugs that let you tweek your personality?
- Synaesthesia 4y agoI think there's a limit to what can be achieved with drugs, still a lot awaits to be discovered out there. Did you ever read Shulgin's PIKHAL and TIKHAL? LSD doesn't so much give you those kind of hallucinations (seeing people that aren't there etc), in fact it's effects are pretty hard to nail down, all kinds of things can happen on a trip. But the closest analogy is still a "model psychosis", in other words you will experience what people have when they have psychosis, for about 8-10 hours.
