LSD may not be bad for you, says study

Back in the early days of LSD, the two common dangers were that functional schizophrenics who were barely hanging on could slip over to the bad side and not come back and kids who were arrested and abused by cops while under LSD influence could have long-term mental problems.

There is indeed a potential medical use for both LSD and ecstasy. But street versions of these drugs are often mixed with with strychnine or other chemicals (LSD is easy to make, but mescaline and psilocybin aren't. So dealers like to take basic LSD, mix it with other chemicals and sell it as something more rare.) And users often mix LSD with alcohol, opiates, etc. It's not unusual in certain crowds for people to take pills or whatever is put in front of them without even asking what it is. That's seriously dangerous.

A well-regulated drug only used under proper medical supervision - that's the way to do it with LSD.

LSD and related drugs could help many people deal with alcoholism and depression. Two common problems in Norway. Worth some research money if it saves lives and health-care money of Norwegians.
