About me (& LSD)
I’m Chris Collins, a neuropharmacologist, consultant, and entrepreneur with a focus on psychedelics and cognitive enhancement. My research, featured in Scientific American, explores substances like PCP, ketamine, LSD, mescaline, and ibogaine in animal models to better understand their complex effects. With experience in cannabis-focused private equity and a passion for meditation, I bring a balanced perspective to psychedelics, blending scientific rigor with mindful practice. I’m here to inform and inspire on the potential role (past, present, and future) of psychedelics in personal growth and mental health.
How Does LSD Work?
Dive deeper into research-based insights on how LSD interacts with neural pathways to support self-discovery and cognitive shifts. LSD influences the brain’s serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A subtype, leading to altered perceptions and consciousness. This interaction can result in profound changes in thought patterns, enhancing creativity and promoting psychological growth. Understanding its transformative impact on the mind offers a comprehensive perspective on how LSD can profoundly alter perception, foster introspection, and contribute to new cognitive frameworks.
Unlocking The Mind
Discover how science meets self-discovery at LSD & Me. We explore research-based insights into how LSD interacts with neural pathways to potentially enhance cognition and inspire personal growth. By examining findings from neuropharmacology and sharing lived experiences, we offer a deeper understanding of LSD’s impact on mental well-being. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive perspective on how LSD may influence the mind, fostering cognitive shifts and new ways of thinking.
What's Else is Going On?
LSD & Me unpacks the facts behind psychedelics, mental health benefits, and cognitive enhancement, offering clear, science-backed perspectives on how these substances influence self-discovery and unlock new mental dimensions. While we delve into existing research, we acknowledge that there is still much we don’t know about these substances, and many aspects remain unexplained. Our platform explores both the known effects and the mysteries surrounding psychedelics, highlighting the gaps in scientific understanding. By presenting both established findings and unanswered questions, we aim to provide a balanced view which encourages informed discussion and further exploration into the complex world of psychedelics and their potential impact on the human mind.
