Psychedelics for terminally-ill

Aren't we all terminally ill technically.

Yes, and we have varying degrees of suffering. Civilizations have been using mind-altering drugs for aeons.

Are we talking full-on doses here, like the amounts taken by recreational users, or microdoses? From what I have read on the topic, medicinal use typically involves much smaller doses than is typically seen in recreational use.

I would think that the therapeutic value of LSD would be to re-examine ones place in the universe and explore/accept the reality of your death.
I suspect that micro doses simply give an electric buzz, and visually altered colors, but do not know how it might work as an analgesic.

This is not mind altering, but .......

Researchers report 20 micrograms of LSD delivers similar analgesic results to opioids such as oxycodone and morphine in an acute pain testyurok.a/Depositphotos

An incredible, first-of-its-kind trial testing the pain-killing properties of LSD microdoses has delivered the compelling suggestion that tiny, non-psychedelic doses of this infamous drug could serve as an effective analgesic.

It makes you wonder. My inner conspiracy theorist thinks that big pharma sure as hell doesn't want us knowing about that little gem.

Yep, no addiction to ensure repeat customers.
