HALLUCINOGENS & LSD
- ADDICTION & REHABILITATION
|
LSD is one of the most potent mind-altering chemicals known. It was discovered by Dr. Albert Hofmann in 1938. LSD is the generic name for the hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide-25.
It is a white, odorless powder usually taken orally, its effects are highly variable and begin within one hour and generally last 8-12 hours, gradually tapering off. It has been used experimentally in the treatment of alcoholics and psychiatric patients. (Where it showed some success.)
Mind altering hallucinogen
LSD significantly
alters perception,
changes mood,
alters psychological processes, and
can impair motor coordination and skills.
During the 1950s and early 1960s, LSD experimentation was legally conducted by psychiatrists and others in the health and mental health professions. Sometimes dramatic, unpleasant psychological reactions occur, including panic, great confusion, and anxiety. Strongly affected by SET and SETTING.
Classification: hallucinogens.
Slang names: acid, sugar, L.

The LSD experience
The nature of LSD is not the same as many of the drugs of abuse. The experience is not necessarily always pleasant, though even if it is, users usually do not feel compelled to repeat the experience immediately.
When LSD use is part of generalized escapist behavior, occurring in combination with other drugs, this "poly drug abusing" lifestyle is what can cause harm. When LSD is used as an attempt to avoid life's realities it is more often associated with the "bad trip" or the disruptive psychic experiences that feel harmful to the user.
Statistics and Trends:
In 2006, 666,000 Americans age 12 and older had abused LSD at least once in the year prior to being surveyed.
Source: National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
The NIDA-funded 2007 Monitoring the Future Study showed that 1.1 percent of 8th graders, 1.9 percent of 10th graders, and 2.1 percent of 12th graders had abused LSD at least once in the year prior to being surveyed.

ADDICTION RECOVERY
- COCAINE -
I had been doing drugs heavily for 16 years and no rehab or therapist could change me.
I was too full of toxins for the twelve-step program to ever work on me. I needed to clean my body out so that I could feel normal enough to fight the desire to do drugs.
Dr Baylac awakened me.
I have remained cocaine free now for 2 years (2008)....
