    Good news for those inclined to embibe too often!

    Link
    For the group of patients taking LSD, 59% showed reduced levels of alcohol misuse compared with 38% in the other group.
    ........
    This effect was maintained six months after taking the hallucinogen, but it disappeared after a year. Those taking LSD also reported higher levels of abstinence.

    The report's authors, Teri Krebs and Pal-Orjan Johansen, said: "A single dose of LSD has a significant beneficial effect on alcohol misuse."

    They suggested that more regular doses might lead to a sustained benefit.


    I'm not particularly surprised.8)

    Interesting. Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, did some experimentation with LSD as a treatment for alcoholism back in the Sixties and was convinced it could be useful. Unfortunately, the hysterical anti-drug jerk-offs forced the FDA to ban its use even as a therapeutic agent and Wilson had to abandon his research.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
