How to Legally Obtain and Possess Currently Illegal Drugs for Use in Research
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Best place (america, in general)
How hard is it to get a controlled substance (DMT, mainly, but also psilocybin, LSD, and other things of that nature) for brain research. I know of it being done, but I am not sure on the overall legality of it and how to go about making it legal. Basically, I intend to be a guinea pig for running tests on the brain on different chemicals with todays technology. Anybody have any clues? Thanks for the help.

I should rephrase this better. Obviously getting it isn't the question, its getting the research done legally.
Re: Taking Dmt / Lsd / Psilocybin + Etc for Science
For you, it is impossible. It would take a doctor under an established research protocol and application to the FDA for permission and it's unlikely it's going to be granted for any purpose you can think of.

Agreed.
OP, do you have a few physicians and several million dollars in your pocket?

There is no Ph.d / public institution (with reputation) that is going to sign off on this project. There's plenty of data from previous studies conducted elsewhere, as well a pharmacological data to make some solid conclusions about what these chemicals do. I will give you a personal anecdote though - a guy at a campus party in a "folksy, Redwood" school in Northern California was taking shrooms during a party. During the course of the party he took a walk off a 3 story balcony onto the concrete below. End of his personal research.

Ben, the resercher you cite was quite adept it would seem.....drug effect(s) research, physics, aerodynamics, Newtonian Theory and quite possibly spatial relations in regards to gravitational forces. :p
Perchance it was the multi-tasking that got him?

.
then you apply to entities performing such testing. You cannot do anything to cause it to be legal for you to administer drugs to yourself in some claimed scientific study. Those legally allowed to conduct such studies know how to obtain the proper authorization and find resources for the drugs being tested.

Cheers!
Bad dorm music have been a factor too. :eek:
