Lysergic acid diethylamide, or simply LSD, is a psychedelic drug, known for its psychological effects, including synesthesia, spiritual experiences, and altered thinking process. It is a non-addictive recreational drug.
In 1947 it was introduced as a drug with psychiatric uses. The CIA was testing it in the 50’s for possible mind-control practices. Due to the fact that it was being used as a recreational drug in the 1960’s, it was banned in both the military and the medicinal fields.
But now, scientists are trying to study its benefits as a psychotherapeutic tool. Research in Switzerland revealed the fact that it could relieve the anxiety felt by those suffering from terminal illnesses.
A team at the Imperial College London is the first ever to use brain scanners in order to observe LSD’s effects on 20 volunteers, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
“The therapeutic potential could emerge if we see changes in the brain which would rectify abnormalities, for instance in addiction, in depression […] It would give a rationale for resurrecting some of the old work that LSD was used for, particularly with addiction.” – Professor David Nutt, lead scientist of the experiment
The results of the study will be published in the autumn.

-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I'll donate myself to science...
-------------------- Trade List I won't bow to something that I've never seen, Can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me, I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god, I have no faith in your faith, Still I find salvation.

Good to see more scientific studies on LSD so we can have more evidence of it's safety and therapeutic use. However, I Kind of wish they would start doing medical trials on newer research chemicals so that we could possibly see the affects of those substances on our brains and determine which are ACTUALLY safe.
