A member asked:
Can you tell me if lsd unlocks parts of your brain that is usually dormant?

Not particularly: there really aren't dormant parts of the brain- that is very old and actually unscientific thought from 40 years ago or so that we only use 10% of our brain. Newer techniques such as PET scanning and functional MRI have shown that we use most of our brain. LSD mimics neurotransmitters that we already have and effects receptors in ways that cause hallucinations etc. They are not from dormant areas.

LSD: Biochemistry. Be careful you don't exacerbate an underlying condition in your brain that would provoke more hallucinations even when not taking LSD.
