23 years ago, George Bush & Tony Blair launched the war in Iraq. Thousands of innocent civilians were killed. 23 years on, Tony Blair is part of Trump’s “New Gaza Board of Peace" Yet, Julian Assange went prison for exposing the horrors of the Iraq war.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

According to history Indian’s discovered weed as a means of communication with the spiritual world and relaxation after stress.

A 97-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer's was given a microdose of LSD. She had been diagnosed 11 years earlier. By 97, she was in a near-vegetative state. Despair & hopelessness had set in, and she was basically unable to communicate. Her caregiver, with the family's agreement, tried a microdose of LSD to see if it could bring her back. According to her family and the Beckley Foundation, she regained full awareness. She could talk, read, and relate to people around her. Her wit, personality, and sense of self all returned. Her daughter later said the only wish was that they had started many years earlier. That case is what led Amanda Feilding and the Beckley Foundation to launch the world's first controlled clinical trial of microdosed LSD for Alzheimer's, with the University of Basel. And the science is starting to explain why it may have worked. LSD at sub-intoxicating doses has been shown to increase Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), one of the most important proteins in the brain. BDNF drives neuroplasticity, supports neuronal survival and growth, and is central to learning and memory. In Alzheimer's patients, BDNF levels are significantly depleted. The Beckley/Maastricht research program found that microdoses of LSD (5, 10, and 20 micrograms) increased BDNF plasma levels in healthy volunteers in a dose-dependent manner. No altered state, just a measurable increase in one of the brain's most critical growth factors. Animal research has shown that low-dose psychedelics promote neurogenesis and increase dendritic spine density in the hippocampus, the brain region most damaged by Alzheimer's. A 2023 Nature Neuroscience paper found that psychedelics promote plasticity by directly binding to the BDNF receptor TrkB, a mechanism that may work independently of the psychedelic experience itself. A randomized controlled trial out of New Zealand gave 80 healthy men 10 microgram doses of LSD every third day for six weeks and measured changes in neural plasticity via EEG. The results showed modulation of long-term potentiation, a key marker of the brain's ability to strengthen connections over time. All of the above points in the same direction: LSD at low doses appears to support the biological infrastructure of a healthy, adaptive brain. Call it what you want - neuroplasticity, neurotrophic signaling, synaptic growth - these are all processes that degrade with age and collapse in neurodegenerative disease. Albert Hofmann microdosed LSD for decades. He was giving two-hour lectures at 100. He died at 102 with his mind intact. That's not proof on its own, but it's a data point that gets more interesting with every study that comes out. What if the most demonized compound of the 20th century turns out to be one of the best tools we have for keeping the aging brain alive? Pictured is the only easily available microdosing LSD product out there today. It comes from Golden Rule and ships to all 50 states. It's wild that this is now widely available.

The older I get, the more convinced I am that anxiety and depression are just natural responses to a deeply unjust society.
