New UC Berkeley Center Will Train ‘Psychedelic Guides’ in Use of Magic Mushrooms

UC Berkeley can now launch its UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics after an anonymous donor gave $1.25 million to start the center.

The new center at the public university promises to research the possible medical benefits of psychedelic drugs, such as magic mushrooms and the chemical compound psilocybin.

Part of its public education effort will include training “psychedelic guides” alongside the Graduate Theological Union to explore the “cultural, contemplative and spiritual care dimensions of psychedelics,”according to a Sept. 14 news release from the university.

The Graduate Theological Union is made up of eight theology schools in the area and has a relationship with UC Berkeley that allows students to take classes at the university.

“Initial experimental studies will use psilocybin, the principal psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms,” the release stated.

The Daily Cal campus newspaper reports the psychedelic research center “aims to reevaluate the value of psychedelics for helping to treat mental illness.”

It will not be the only psychedelic research center in the country, however.

Investigators through John Hopkins medicine launched its own Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research in January 2020, though the researchers have been investigating psychedelic drugs since 2000.

and 18:23 in the Greek is pharmakeia, which Vine’s Expository Dictionary defines as “the use or the administering of drugs.” Galatians:5:20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
See All... translates the term pharmakeia (from which we get our word pharmacy) as witchcraft. It should be apparent from those scriptures that drugs will play a major part in the “strong delusion” of the Last Days (2 Thessalonians:2:11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
