| Timothy Leary - LSD advocate |
There was an interesting segment on National Radio yesterday:
Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, from the University of Auckland is planning a world-first study into the effects of micro-dosing LSD based on the anecdotal ‘success’ stories of micro-dosers and the new wave of scientific research into it as a remedy for psychological ailments and as a benefit for "physical and cognitive performance."
OK, that's all very well and I for one would be interested in giving such micro-dosing a go but it is a bit worrying that this comes on the back of liberalisation of the laws against the misuse of cannabis and some attempts at debunking the negative effects of other illegal drugs. What next? A study saying that methamphetamine use is good for sharpening up driving skills?
LSD, discovered and experimented with in the 1940s was originally devised as a migraine remedy.
Hey, I get migraines - gimme some.
It's a brave new world we're entering into ....... oh wait, that was the 1930s and psychedelic drugs were part of the thinking then too.

Totally agree. Hitler had most of his army and civilians on LSD thinking they would fight better.
Who won?
Sorry that might have "P".
Or it might have been beer!
Yes, the Germans were fed 'P' but so were the British and American bomber and fighter crews which is why so many were addicted to 'speed' after the war.
