LSD therapy
Speaking of drugs… Were you aware of the fact that LSD was actually used to cure criminal behavior, alcoholism, and even schizophrenia? First made by Albert Hofmann in 1938 from lysergic acid, a chemical derived from ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains.
Its use became prevalent between the 1950s and early 60s. And although we all know that LSD is a powerful hallucinogenic drug, it seems that some people still believe in its powerful “properties.”
Some Norwegian researchers actually want to continue the studies on LSD. And yes, LSD is used as a therapeutic treatment in some countries, but it is actually administrated under close supervision in a safe environment like a psychologist’s office. In our country, LSD became illegal in 1966. In addition, all research into the drug’s medical uses stopped the same year.
