its precisely because of all those glowing reports i distrust the hell out of them.
We have a long history and data on how drugs in general can treat problems, but often come with side effects and other issues when they work, often serious. And sometimes per person they just don't; finding the correct drug treatment for a person is a very hard.
When i hear all this about LSD as a perfect miracle drug, I get VERY suspicious.
I can agree and sympathize with that, I think what happened was during the early days of LSD, there a strong counterculture that stemmed out of some very dark individuals like Aleister Crowley. Guys like Timothy Leary used Crowley almost like a symbol or standard, and it spawned a massive backlash against LSD and psilocybin. A lot of what was said about LSD and Psilocybin was true about Crowley and Leary, but they were just two very flawed people who took a lot of good medical research down with them.
These drugs are mysterious and powerful and some of the most irresponsible and foolish and loudest people on the planet got their hands on them. But there is a lot of promising research that suggests the baby shouldn't have be thrown out like it was in the 70's.
