Tripping into the future of medicine

Tripping into the future of medicine Background It all started back on November 16, 1938, when a swiss-born chemist named Mr Albert Hofmann made what was going to be commonly known as LSD. But he wouldn’t discover its psychedelic properties until mid-1943. He described this hallucination as: “At home, I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant intoxicated like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with the intense, kaleidoscopic play of colours.” -Albert Hofmann This is what would then lead to an increase in research as many others found that because it reduced the effects of anxiety and then giving some users a relaxing state of mind. Taking off by the 1950’s LSD was then widely used in hospitals and clinics treating patients of psychosis and other mental illnesses. It was so w

Can bullying actually be a good thing?

Can bullying actually be a good thing? While being sat in my room pondering about what I should post next, it dawned on me that I haven't posted anything about bullying. Being a blogger who actively seeks to raise awareness to things people ignore that need the attention, I think it's more than ideal for me to write about bullying. I chose this topic because in actuality people don't realise that there is some good in bullying although I don't encourage it, as given the right circumstance it can cause long term problems, all of which I will cover in the rest of the post. I'm going to start off by saying, I in no way promote bullying especially physical bullying, I'm just here to pose facts and my opinion to you. What is bullying?

You can also find ' @BorisJohnson ' I am lead to believe that every week he hosts a show called PMQ's (prime minister Questions). Where he goes live and has the viewers asking him questions while he tries his best to answer them in hopes that people will see that he's trying to incorporate the peoples' views into Brexit.  If you missed the Livestream not to worry, as I took note of all the important things that our prime minister has promised to the people!

If you want more information, be sure to check them out as I am not too knowledgeable on this topic. Scottish

Should you be looking to buy shares this year?

Should you be looking to buy shares this year? With the US and Iran launching missiles at each other and the UK going through Brexit, the question that arises is that is it the best time to be looking to buy shares in businesses? Should you be looking to spend some of your savings in the large corporations in the hopes that when political insecurities die down that you could make that sweat profit back? To really understand what time is the best time, we need first answer the question as to what shares are and how they work. What are shares? Shares represent ownership of a company, 1 share is like a seat. The more seats you have in parliament the more powerful you become, it works the same but in terms of shares. The more shares that you have the more of a say you have in company decisions. Yes, we refer shares to be with the stock market, but for some small business, shares are given in exchange for a sum of money. All these are under laws determined by your state or p
