Interesting article
Quote:
LSDs inventor Albert Hofmann called it "medicine for the soul." The Beatles wrote songs about it. Secret military mind control experiments exploited its hallucinogenic powers. Outlawed in 1966, LSD became a street drug and developed a reputation as the dangerous toy of the counterculture, capable of inspiring either moments of genius, or a descent into madness. Now science is taking a fresh look at LSD, including the first human trials in over 35 years. Using enhanced brain imaging, non-hallucinogenic versions of the drug and information from an underground network of test subjects who suffer from an agonizing condition for which there is no cure, researchers are finding that this "trippy" drug could become the pharmaceutical of the future. Can it enhance our brain power, expand our creativity and cure disease? To find out, Explorer puts LSD under the microscope.

seen, fairly standard information.
a group has got a (recent) government license to produce, and research LSD. Don't get excited, none for you guys Sad I don't know what possible "research" could be done either,
its an ego-destroying tryptamine, simmelar to psilocybin mescaline or DMT, and whether it makes you crazy or inspires moments of genius is entirely up to you as a person,
set set and setting, and all the other accumulated "how to work with psychedelics propperly" knowledge that has accumulated on forums like this.

How LSD works is currently a mystery. There are several theories flying around, but nothing has been proven.

LSD concentrations peak in the body BEFORE the effects peak. No one has found the reason for this. This is unusual, and points in the direction of something else actually being responsible for the hallucinogenic effects.

Before LSD was banned, it showed lots of promise as an aid in ending addictions, bad behavior patterns, and other self destructive mental issues that plague a good portion of mankind. Psychologists LOVED LSD. Some didn’t use it properly and had horrible results though.

LSD has great potential to change a person, but only when done right. For a psychologist to be able to use LSD effectively, they need serious training. You can’t just give them LSD like they did in the 60's and expect them to know what to do with it.

I think it’s a mistake to allow psychologists untrained in LSD therapy to use it on patients. I would say that at least 1 year of solid training in LSD therapy is needed before any licensed psychologist should be allowed to use it on patients. It’s a powerful mind tool, and needs to be used properly.
You may remember me as 69Ron. I was suspended years ago for selling bunk products under false pretenses. I try to sneak back from time to time under different names, but unfortunately, the moderators of the DMT-Nexus are infinitely smarter than I am.

If you see me at the waterpark, please say hello. I'll be the delusional 50 something in the American flag Speedo, oiling up his monster guns while responding to imaginary requests for selfies from invisible teenage girls.

How do they make "non-hallucinogenic versions of the drug"?

Isn't non-hallucinogenic LSD and oxymoron?

I believe bromo LSD in which they use for migraine sufferers opens up blood capillaries like LSD does but does not affect the CNS in a nootropic of psychedelic way.
