But I would totally buy into the theory that a physicist could take some LSD and focus on some particular mystery and walk away 8 hours later a better physicist with the problem past solved.
That's encouraging. Though I've never partaken of LSD, or any other non-medicinal drug for that matter, I'm convinced that it isn't the scourge we're told about and that it might very well be highly effective both as a medicine (especially psychiatric) and as a recreational drug that can put its users into a special state that promotes understanding.

I still find myself dumbfounded as to why marijuana is still illegal. A state in which alcohol is legal and marijuana is illegal is a very confused state. When it comes to LSD, however, things are admittedly quite different.
I'm not saying LSD is bad. I have lauded it here and now obviously. And I'm not even saying that it is good for some people and yet bad for others. What I am saying is this:
If LSD became socially acceptable then society would change. It would usher in the biggest social change in the shortest amount of time in the known history of man. It took christianity over 1000 years to change half a world from cave monkey barbarians to only half-cave monkey barbarians. LSD's becoming as popular as marijuana would mean a TOTALLY different world than any of us can possibly imagine. And this would take place almost literally overnight.
So I CAN empathize with the government's paranoid reactions to it. We all fear the unknown. The unknown is scary. 100 million Americans thinking nothing of experimenting with LSD would lead to only god knows what.
I'm not saying that it would be bad! Probably it would be awesome! But almost certainly the powers that be in Washington would find themselves rather immediately unemployed.

As awesome as LSD can be, just like any drug it can and will be abused. And again like any drug when people abuse it and go past those levels that can be beneficial or therapeutic, it can become very dangerous.
I knew a guy in HS who was very messed up and downed an entire vile of liquid LSD (a few hundred doses at least) and he lost his mind because of it. I'm told that the more LSD you take, that on top of increasing the intensity of the trip it can also increase the time span of your trip. Well this guy ended up locked in a psychiatric ward for several months, I'm told the whole nine yards with a straight jacket in a padded room. It was apparently a very bad trip and I'm told for a length of time he imagined himself as a carrot and everybody who came into his room as a rabbit trying to eat him. This happened 8 years ago and he's still a headcase to this day. I used to see him walk around our hometown main roads for miles everyday staring at the ground and muttering to himself the whole time.
LSD can have incredible psychological advantages, but too much of anything is a bad thing and I believe too much LSD has some terribly negative side effects.
