I heard the BBC cover that last night. It sounded awesome in British English accents, and their coverage was very fair and even.

Most people don't know that one of the guys that started Alcoholics Anonymous left the organization to research LSD's effects on alcoholism.

I come from an alcoholic family and spent years as an alcoholic. LSD helped me really get in touch with what this substance was doing to me. I haven't drank in 1.5 years and never will again.

And now NPR? Holy cow... I love all the positive press beginning to emerge re psychedelia.

LSD Gets Another Look As Alcoholism Treatment

I haven't opened the link yet, but I do know that LSD was effectively used to treat alcoholism in it's early, legal, therapeutic trials (before it became scheduled).

On another note, LSD "single handedly" allowed me to kick a nasty methamphetamine habit many, many years ago. One exceptionally heavy and terrifying view into my self destructive behavior kicked my habit in one night, and I've never touched methamphetamine since. It's been about 20 years now. I will always credit LSD with saving my life.
