Studies on thousands of alcoholics treated with the drug in the early 1960s - before it became popular as a psychedelic street drug - showed it helped trigger a change in mental attitude leading drinkers to quit.../...In one study, two-thirds of the alcoholics stopped drinking for at least 18 months after receiving one dose of LSD, compared to 25 per cent who stopped after group therapy and 12 per cent after individual therapy.

Coldfinger Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Well THAT sure beats the usual discussion, err argument! Quote
rob Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Interesting. I guess this explains why I never became an alcoholic Quote
Crux Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I don't get it, man. The drops just never affected me that way. Quote
Mtguide Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Not so sure of this hypothesis. I have known several people who were not cured or dissuaded in any way from alchoholism simply by the use of acid. Of course it could probably be that they never took it with the idea or purpose of doing anything about their drinking in the first place. I also know at least one person who later became an alchoholic after several years of using acid and other hallucinogenics. But here again, I'm not sure you could clearly say that the acid had any relation to their drinking or not. It is interesting, though, that the precribed use of LSD seemed to be a more effective "treatment", if you will, than the other methods of therapy. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 The treatment may be more effective if you do it under the supervision of a shaman. [video:youtube]7NgUx4II6SA Quote

G-spotter Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 You can tell when your teenagers get to a certain age, first they read William Burroughs, then the nutmeg jar goes missing from the cabinet, then there are brown smeared tissues and sneezing everywhere. Quote
