The psychedelic ibogaine can treat addiction. The race is on to cash in | Drugs | The Guardian


illegal in the US, but in countries such as Costa Rica, Mexico, New Zealand and the Netherlands, it is unregulated, which has allowed clinics to flourish. Starting in the early 2000s, the opioid crisis – in April 2021, annual overdose deaths in the US reached 100000 for the first time; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that nearly 76,000 of these deaths were from opioids – gave way to a booming industry of makeshift ibogaine treatment clinics like the one where Smith was treated, often set up in rented houses located right across the US border.

Israeli find shown to combat antibiotic resistance by ‘pricking bacteria to death’ | The Times of Israel

Somewhere in the lab:

- Hey Yossi, Let's invent some smart approach, we just graduated from 8200?

- Nooaah, fuck it, Shlomo,let's do it old-school, what about physically destroy this shit 😈


"The substance contains “nano needles” which have a lethal effect on bacteria, and will be developed into topical creams and antibacterial coatings for surfaces, the scientists said, noting that it has shown 90% effectiveness in killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria in lab conditions."

Old, but interesting example what AI might "see" before death.

It might bring some thoughts on what people actually see before death or during death-like experience.

Human Brain Organoids Respond to Visual Stimuli When Transplanted Into Adult Rats - Neuroscience News
We saw that a good number of neurons within the organoid responded to specific orientations of light, which gives us evidence that these organoid neurons were able to not just integrate with the visual system, but they were able to adopt very specific functions of the visual cortex.”

Australia to allow prenoscription of MDMA and psilocybin for treatment-resistant mental illnesses | Health | The Guardian

Woot!!! One more Country 🔥

"The drugs will only be allowed to be used in a very limited way, and remain otherwise prohibited, but the move was described as a “very welcome step away from what has been decades of demonisation”

MDMA and Psilocybin Are Approved as Medicines for the First Time | WIRED


Again, this is really important. Since I recently compared the release of ChatGPT and Proposition 122 in Colorado for decriminalization as A-ha moments. Now I'll tell you that Australia announcement for MDMA and Psylocybin approval in response to USA legalization efforts is like Google's investment in Anthropic ( OpenAI rival) in response to Microsoft deal with OpenAI happened yesterday.


Australia will likely impact whether other countries choose to offer the drugs for therapeutic purposes in the future—and that includes if it goes wrong and people get harmed. “I think the eyes of the world will be watching Australia now -

Can psychedelic drugs boost work performance and well-being?

"Psychedelics can also solve for frequent workplace issues, like:

Low energy or passion for work
Imposter syndrome
Stress, burnout, and moral injury
Perfectionism
Self-awareness
Procrastination"

What's interesting is that as you can see they are not boosting something but rather solving some issue that prevents us doing what we should do.

So, briefly saying, their pitch deck was "Like Ayahuasca but without vomiting". Poor Peru, their tourist income will drop significantly 😂

Terran Biosciences announces publication of PCT patent applications covering orally active forms of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT and long-acting MDMA



DMT has traditionally been taken in combination with a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor to help reduce this metabolic breakdown, however, this approach is difficult to translate to widespread clinical use as it can be associated with side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and changes in blood pressure.
Terran's unique prodrugs are novel compounds that are designed to be given as a single oral dose, avoid first pass metabolism, and then breakdown in order to release high levels of the original active molecule in the brain
