The psychedelic effects of LSD beat back the physiological effects of alcoholism, according to a new paperĀ in the Ā Journal of Psychopharmacology.
The studyāa meta-analysis of prior research from the groovy 1960s and 1970sāfound that 59 percent ofĀ 536 participants in six trialsĀ who received LSD reported lower levels of alcohol misuse for the next three to six months,Ā compared to 38 percent who received placebos. One dose did the trick.
This reminds me of other fascinating research from this era that showed LSD removed the fear and dread of death from terminally ill patients.
