LSD - Yoga for the Brain

LSD alters brain function by lowering activity in the default mode network, allowing other brain areas to become more active and fostering communication between regions that typically do not interact. This shift does not enhance consciousness but rather offers different perspectives and thoughts, highlighting the brain's potential for neuroplasticity. Enhanced neuroplasticity through psychedelics is likened to yoga or sports for the brain, promoting cognitive flexibility and vitality. Experimental use, such as microdosing LSD, has shown benefits without aftereffects, suggesting a healthier alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. As awareness and acceptance of psychedelic medicines grow, they have the potential to disrupt conventional pharmaceutical practices and improve mental health solutions.
