LSD May Keep Criminals Out Of Prison

Not sure if this has been posted here, but I'll do it anyway.
"Taking LSD might keep criminals out of prison.
A big study of more than 25,000 people under community corrections supervision shows the use of psychedelic drugs like LSD or so-called magic mushrooms leads to reduced recidivism and may help criminals stay out of prison.
This is the first research in 40 years to take a look at whether mind-altering drugs can help reform bad guys.
The researchers at the University of Alabama and Johns Hopkins say this runs counter to the way drugs are legally classified as well as the way they're perceived in society, and that there should be more study into hallucinogenics as treatment."

Sadly this is more brief than I had expected, & cites the University of Alabama and Johns Hopkins, so I'm sure alot of you know about this already. No additional links in the article either. Feel free to take this down if the full study is up elsewhere 
EDIT: Abstract here; http://jop.sagepub.com/content/28/1/62.abstract?rss=1 Thanks Maito

This is a really great study. I want to tell everyone this when mushrooms or acid comes up in the conversation.

I'm sorry, but am I the only one that has a problem with the thought of our government administering LSD to "criminals"? The CIA already showed the kind of results we should expect with Project MKULTRA and the like, and this whole concept brings the story of A Clockwork Orange to mind.

i think leary and crew performed a study on inmates and besides the fact that it wasn't that strict it did show a significant drop in recidivism. and i dont think MKULTRA was performed on criminals (at least not only criminals) and that was an entirely different and downright evil research project. and this isn't the government performing this study but universities. im not sure on the legitimacy of this study though

If the criminals opted for the treatment and the purpose of the test was indeed for the reformation of criminals then I don't see much of a problem with this test. We can't let fear because of past government failings keep us from further testing of psychedelics. The government already knows that using the drug for brainwashing was a bust. This kind of research is the only way we will come any closer to acceptance of the benefits these drugs can have for people.

I guess I'm more worried with the idea of altering peoples minds on such a mass scale in the name of cutting down crime. I don't believe using psychedelics on people will cause latent criminal tendencies to decrease by much for one, but mostly I just think psychedelics can't be controlled in such a way to generate a specific outcome in that way. Even if acid makes criminals stable, I have to wonder if it wouldn't come with it's own set of problems just by fucking with so many peoples neurochemistry.

This is really cool news, and it confirms the studies they did of this in the 60s. Timothy Leary was the guy who first studied this and reported results like these.
What I really want to know is why? Why and how do psychedelics reduce recidivism?

Increased appreciation for freedom and better judgement as a result of that.
Tis guy who appeared in the recent docuemntary 'The Stoned Ages' who spoke about mushrooms put it nicely: they help you come to decisions about ultimate matters of life.

I've always felt like everyday was valuable and should be milked for what its worth, psychedelics have furthered that feeling.
