In the first LSD experiment conducted in over 40 years, 12 cancer patients were given a dose of LSD. 8 of those patients received a full dose and 4 received placebo doses. Results of the study show that the 8 full-dose patients experienced a 20% reduction in anxiety levels whereas the 4 placebo patients became more anxious.
Most excellent. If memory serves, acid will make you forget to be afraid, at least a little bit. I agree with Rhett, although one would have to be a bit careful not to "over-do" someone who might be a bit mentally fragile.
