LSD Facts from the Atlanta Recovery Center.

LSD is not something people hear much about. While other drugs have taken headlines, and many are routinely portrayed in the news, LSD, not very publicized, is still used by many to get high. The Atlanta Recovery Center Drug Rehab in Georgia warns that its use is still widespread.

While originally used in the 1940’s and 1950’s as a research tool in studies of mental illness, and once marketed as a cure from everything from criminal behavior, alcoholism, sexual perversions, and a wide range of other illnesses, LSD has no legitimate medical use in treatment, and is classified as such by the FDA. Although the study of LSD and other hallucinogens increased the awareness of how chemicals could affect the mind, its use in psychotherapy largely has been debunked. It produces no aphrodisiac effects, does not increase creativity, has no lasting positive effect in treating alcoholics or criminals, does not produce a “model psychosis,” and does not generate immediate personality change.

During the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the drug culture adopted LSD as the “psychedelic” drug of choice. This lasted for a number of years until considerable negative publicity emerged on “bad trips”- psychotic psychological traumas associated with the LSD high. Bad trips included seeing one’s teeth fall out, feeling one was falling into glass shards, among other hallucinations.
