The topic that I want to do are hallucinogens. The reason I want to do this is because different types of hallucinogens have been used throughout all of history and different cultures, and I want to dive in and read about peoples experiences with all types of the drugs. I was recently reading a Harvard research article that came to the conclusion that when you are on psilocybin, the active chemical in shrooms, the areas in your brain that are triggered are very much the same if not EXACTLY the same as a spiritual experience. Very interesting.
I am not sure where this topic will lead me. But as I am very interested in psychology I assume I will end up diving deep into how different hallucinogens effect the brain. I also would like to see how cultures used hallucinogens for spiritual purposes, and the experiences they had.
This will almost be like a paper about how drugs have changed throughout time. It could be tricky to interview someone with experience with said drug seeing as how most could be illegal! Good luck with this one Ken!

ReplyDeleteits really awesome that you are tying in your topic into the career path you want to go into. Should turn out pretty great!
ReplyDeleteVery fitting but it will also be interesting to see different drugs and their effects on the brain

ReplyDeleteI find the brain and its functioning's to be fascinating so I think this project could turn out very interesting.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you don't do an interpretive dance, I think this will be really cool.
ReplyDeleteThis will be interesting to see where you take this.
ReplyDeletewell you did say you wanted to go into law enforcement (I am with you on that one!) It would be a valuable thing for the both of us to know!
ReplyDeleteUhmm... Kenneth... Drugs are bad mmkay?
ReplyDeleteI actually disagree with Anna and think you should do another one of your beautiful interpretive dances.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma is a drug and addiction counselor and has met with people on almost every type of hallucinogen so if you wanted to ask any questions about how they acted or more info on the side effects, she could tell you firsthand. Good topic!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see the information that you gather and see where it leads you.
ReplyDeleteThis could be an over populated topic, but you will find a lot of information about it.
ReplyDeleteCool topic. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteWeird but interesting topic. Can't wait to see where your research takes you.
