BBC World News: LSD could be used to treat alcoholism

submitted by Trancecoach

1 decade 2 years 10 months 3 weeks ago

Norwegian researcher Teri Krebs explains to BBC World News how her recent meta-analysis with Pal-Orjan Johansen from several studies of LSD treatment for alcoholism from decades ago showed that LSD given to alcoholics produced beneficial effects that diminished alcohol abuse for up to six months after a single dose.

I find meatbag kulpims to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by kulpims.

Gee ... that seems like a GREAT idea =o/

How come alcoholics get to have all the fun?

Before Bill W. started Alcoholics Anonymous he was part of one of these LSD studies.

Funny... "each patient got LSD... or a control treatment."... geeze... I wonder if the patients were aware who got the LSD?

sometimes the control, in studies like these, have active ingredients, so instead of sugar pill, participants receive dexadrine or something similar which, even in mild doses, enables the placebo effect to do most of the 'heavy lifting' on one's perception of having received the drug.

I don't know these specific studies in particular so can't speak to whether that was the case here or not.>> ^deathcow:
