Quincy Buickerood

Research Question:

What do psychedelics do to the brain, and how does change in brain activity influenced by psychoactive drugs affect the ability for people’s brains to cure mental illnesses?​

Thesis Statement:

Psychedelics are an effective method of treating depression, addiction, and other mental conditions, because they change the conductivity between the parts of the brain to induce spiritual experiences that positively impact mental health.

Action Project Description:

My project has two different sides, on focus around healing with meditation and the other focused around chemistry. I am very interested in the science side of how psychedelics work but am not able to do recherché with illegal substances so I did multiple chemistry labs with new concepts I was unfamiliar with. I also wanted to know more about finding your self and how psychedelics can do that but that being illegal I used meditation as an alternate to psychoactive drugs.
