There are medications being developed for conditions like yours. Nav blockers that work only on specifically nociceptor circuits. I have high hope for targeted compounds like this, it would improve the lives of millions.

This was my thought as well, dose is most likely the issue. A non tolerant patient will respond to under 10mg thc

Why doesn't someone do the same thing but for net neutrality? Just make a bot to spam with fake or dead names in favor of neutrality to balance it out. The FCC apparently won't do anything either way so why not

From an empirical standpoint, meditation gives us no information whatsoever. Just thinking about something will not lead you to some sort of mystically revealed truth

What's not to understand is where ethanol falls here. It's easily as addictive as opiates, including heroin

Alcohol is absolutely as psychoactive as lsd. Maybe not as potent dose wise, but it absolutely does have a massive effect on cognition, perception, and mood. Most people do not realize how massive this effect is because they are usually under the influence. It only becomes apparent when you are observing another who has consumed the substance. If it lends any weight to my statement, I study behavioral neuropharmacology.
Lsd and ethyl alcohol only have different effects, it's the dose that determines how extreme the change is.

Maybe people should learn how to bond without a psychoactive crutch. That tells me there is a larger issue, if the subject NEEDS alcohol to feel a connection with their fellow human

Yea, this has been a sort of "no shit, sherlock" thing for me. Especially when it comes to alcohol consumption. It effects so many systems in the body, especially neurological. Not only are there toxic metabolites but high dose or chronic alcohol (ab)use will significantly alter the expression of many receptor proteins within the glutamate systems which are vital when it comes to memory and cognition.
When it comes to actual food, again it's a no shit situation. We need a large variety of different nutrients for our systems to operate. We can synthesize some stuff on our own, but all of the raw materials come from the diet. If some components are missing for any part of our neurological systems whether they be transmitters, proteins, or even fats to build cell membranes (which change properties with different ratios of available components) then those systems will not be operating as well as they could be.

The variable is just the lsd. Caffeine is constant in both control and experimental groups. Plus the organisms would most likely exhibit caffeine seeking behavior anyhow.
