LSD stops migraines ??

I know it is just a medical show but on 'House' he said LSD will stop migraines in its tracks.

any truth to this?

I've never had a headache/ migraine while taking acid so I'd say it does work.

Even if LSD did stop headaches wouldn't this be a case of the solution being more complicated than the problem?

Or maybe it's like drinking alcohol to ease toothache. It still hurts, you just don't care anymore!

 

I know about cluster headaches. Women who suffer them say they are worse than childbirth. However, we were discussing migraines: a horse of a different color.

 

Pardon me. I thought we were having a civil conversation. Good bye.

 

alright children..behave.

 

Me too. I'm still trying to figure out where my head went so I could remember whether I had a migraine or not.

 

Maybe I need to take acid to understand physics and the math that goes with it. Is that the answer brucep?

 

I don't think you'll need much external help to learn anything new you've become interested in. Seem pretty 'learned' already. As for the Acid [notice the capitalization] it's the only drug I've been 'under the influence' that WASN'T overrated going in. I thought I was learning physics. Seemed like I was one with the cosmos. Defining 'I' [my Id] was difficult. Sorry for the cliches but ..... There was serious research underway when the street presence put Acid on the most wanted list. Cary Grant was involved in an experiment testing predictions for it's possible medical use. It was ongoing successful research and then 'Haight Ashbury' and my generation began. What an experience. Starting out young and dumb made it even more exciting. Keeping in mind I wasn't always doing the most logical thing.

 

Sorry I never got to try it, though hubby did and really liked the experience . He is more of the creative/artistic type so for him the shapes and colors were what stuck with him the most. He has suggested that I try it at least one time but I really feel I may be to *ahem* learned(old) now. I can say though, that I have had some extremely mystical/hallucinogenic trips of my own, without the use of acid.

 

I'm with you. I would be afraid to do it at my age. Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like in my old body. Really powerful body effects. The invincibility or youth. Anyway the interesting thing that Trippy said is that a non-hallucinogenic dose exists. Have a nice evening quinnsong.

 

Getting back to the OP, who in all fairness was only asking, not telling - does no one else see how ridiculous it would be to use a hallucinogenic narcotic, an illegal hallucinogenic narcotic, to relieve a headache? What's next? Dynamite fishing in the mill pond? Really, let's get a grip.

 

What you might have missed Arne is that they now have a non hallucinogenic dose.

 

Ta ta! Good evening to you too, all knowing physics guy.

 

I have used it once apon a time in my carnival days (17-21) it wasn't addictive to me, have a pretty cool trip story also, in the end I think I built up an immunity to it,

also to condemn it just because its illegal, is irresponsible to truth.
moderation is rule here.
if she (my daughter has migraines) took 1/4 hit and it got rid of her headache with little side effects, it would be miraculous to her
