Designer psychedelics are 100 percent happening now lol
1 year ago First time I heard about the possibility
5 months ago Making it work for real in lab
Today (1) Twitter thread showing controlled mental states
Now? We had those for decades.
As far as I know the ones that exist are more like cousins, this is more like making these cousins not have the downsides and only the upsides
Acetylpropionylmorphine and Dibenzoylmorphine are designed variants of morphine with severely reduced side effects. They were made in 1875.
Oh well I’m talking about psychedelics
My point was that we’ve been designing drugs on a molecular level for a long time.
But if you want a psychedelics specifically, here is one from 1974. And there is probably even earlier examples.
I’m aware of this
Yah I’ll take a mescaline visuals with uhhhhh a molly body high oh and hold the shrooms next day gut rot, thank you!
The idea is that its not like mix and matching the good and bad parts of those kinds of drugs but just getting the benefits like neuroplasticity and specific mood help or whatever else.
I’m not going to look at the Xitter thread, because fuck fascists, and fuck Elon. If you have other non-fashy sources, I’d be happy to look at them. Real research has papers, not Xitter threads, and Dillan DiNardo is a venture capitalist with a company trying to develop and sell designer drugs. Not exactly an unbiased source.
For the other links, the first is showing the antianxiety potential of the substance DOI and how scientists were able to document the mechanisms of its effects better (which leads to the possibility of targeted drugs). The second is about a new drug, dubbed JRT, that is able to harness neuroplastic effects without hallucinogenic ones; they’re targeting schizophrenia, which is good news for anyone that suffers.
Maybe the wealthy will be able to pay for their own custom molecules, but I am skeptical that bespoke psychedelics are on the horizon (at least for average people).
