==Pharmacodynamics, the second paragraph== |

The second paragraph of the section Pharmacodynamics refers to crystallographic information of the binding of LSD to receptor 5-HT2B. The whole paragraph cites three sources (cited as 62, 63 ad 64), but I wanted to point your attention to the fact that only [64] is am actual study; [62] and [63] are blog entries that summarise that study. Perhaps half the section of pharmacodynamics being based on that single study gives it too much weight. |

Pharmacodynamics, the second paragraph
The second paragraph of the section Pharmacodynamics refers to crystallographic information of the binding of LSD to receptor 5-HT2B. The whole paragraph cites three sources (cited as 62, 63 ad 64), but I wanted to point your attention to the fact that only [64] is am actual study; [62] and [63] are blog entries that summarise that study. Perhaps half the section of pharmacodynamics being based on that single study gives it too much weight.

Caharvey11 (talk) 21:49, 22 June 2019 (UTC)LSD was first documented in the scientific community in 1943 after its psychedelic effects was discovered by Albert Hoffmann[1]. As news of the psychedelic effects of LSD spread, research of the drug steadily increased in popularity amongst the scientific community. Many researchers were interested in its effect on an individual's brain, specifically the brain of someone suffering from schizophrenia[2]. As scientific inquiry into LSD progressed, there began a growing interest in the use of LSD alongside therapy in order to treat a multitude of mental health problems, the most notable being its use in curing alcoholism[3]. This slowly took LSD from the lab into the world of therapy. This positive view of LSD as a medicinal drug did not last for long. With the work of Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary, in 1967 a psychedelic counterculture based around their newly created religion, The League for Spiritual Discovery, began to emerge in North America[2]. The push of the this group encouraged people to take LSD for the purpose of having a spiritual experience. The influence of this counter culture created a crisis for the government as the popularity of LSD and the culture behind was opposed by many on the outside of the counterculture. This inevitably caused the criminalization of LSD, making it a schedule one narcotic in 1965[4]. With this written into law, research into LSD in the use of psychotherapy faded into obscurity for decades, only beginning to make a comeback in the 2000’s[5]. LSD is slowly making a comeback in the world of scientific research, however the only place that LSD assisted Psychotherapy is offered is in Switzerland[5].

LSD
Correction regarding, there is no treatment for LSD. Actually in 1966, the founder of the Hare Krishna movement had many disciples who were taking LSD & were drug addicts but they were cured by Bhakti Yoga process and the process of mantra meditation. Roshan Panigrahy (talk) 17:34, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Addiction Potential
Concerning the NIH document linked in reference number 16, the text of the Wiki article states that this document claims that LSD is addictive. However, the document never states this. Indeed, on a separate NIH.gov page located at https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/hallucinogens , there is the following:
For example, LSD is not considered an addictive drug because it doesn't cause uncontrollable drug-seeking behavior. However, LSD does produce tolerance, so some users who take the drug repeatedly must take higher doses to achieve the same effect.
Tolerance and addiction are of course not the same thing. I feel that this statement should be removed. 2603:3018:1502:62E1:F68E:38FF:FE94:DF34 (talk) 04:18, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

"Beginning in the 1950s, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) began a research program code named Project MKULTRA. The CIA introduced LSD to the United States, purchasing the entire word's supply for $240,000 and propagating the LSD, through CIA front organizations to American hospitals, clinics, prisons and research centers."
Change "entire word's supply" to "entire world's supply" 73.61.20.18 (talk) 23:47, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
Done Thanks! NiciVampireHeart 23:54, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
Why is LSD illegal, along with other hallucinogens?
Wikipedia articles on hallucinogens simply state that LSD is illegal, but don't provide any justifications or reasonings for why. I guess Congress didn't give any reasoning for including LSD in the Controlled Substances Act, and the DEA doesn't give reasoning for making it schedule 1?
there's a lot of speculation out there, such as that it's intended to persecute the hippie movement, but that doesn't explain why law enforcement is still vehemently anti-LSD today, with the hippie movement over. Or that it's a conspiracy to prevent the people from "waking up" and realizing their way of living is wrong, or some woke voodoo like that. Or that the people just consider it a hedonistic degradation of moral values.
Just something I have observed in these articles. MDaxo (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
