Inside: LSD (Inside: LSD) deals with a complex and highly controversial topic – the use of the psychotropic substance LSD, once outlawed.
LSD does have a mixed reputation. Some consider it a means to help “expand consciousness”, a drug with healing properties. With its help, they offer to treat schizophrenia, alcoholism, migraines, epilepsy. Known confessions of world-famous people, scientists, musicians, testifying to the positive effect of taking LSD on their consciousness. Among them are Nobel laureates Francis Crick (1962), who claimed to have discovered the molecular structure of DNA under the influence of LSD, and Kerry Mullis (1993), who believes that the discovery for which he received the award - the visualization of the polymerase chain reaction - helped him to commit LSD; Apple founder Steve Jobs, Microsoft founder Bill Gates also did not ignore the drug. The Beatles were indirectly suspected of using LSD, with the title of the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” capitalized as LSD. The musicians themselves denied any parallels.
On the other hand, barricades are many opponents of the use of this hallucinogen, which causes a number of undesirable effects. Among the most dangerous mental manifestations caused by taking LSD - loss of control over their actions, excitement, confused, panic consciousness, the possibility of developing paranoia. The consequences of taking LSD are also terrible – in addition to giving birth to children with various hereditary diseases and chromosomal disorders, a person who takes LSD can go crazy and commit suicide.
All these and many factors served at one time, in the 60s of the 20th century, the reason that LSD was banned and declared a drug.
But now, in our days, scientists are again returning to the question of the use of LSD, its far from revealed medical potential. What is LSD – a drug or a breakthrough in science? The authors of The Inside Look: LSD are trying to answer this and other equally important questions. close
