This writer of this article criticizes the 40 year war on LSD and other psychedelic drugs by the U. S. government. He asserts that LSD and other psychedelic compounds can have a “profound life-altering affect on the user that serves t o connect them to the universal compassion and love for life that is inherent in our species. It invariably causes them to question the validity of the status quo and what surrounds them in terms of beliefs and values. The article asserts that psychedelic drugs are needed by our society to treat certain disorders such as addiction, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder,, migraine and as palliatives for the sick and dying. Recently the U. S. government has approved clinical trials for use of MDMA theropy for returning veterans and victims of violence and abuse. The writer further asserts that technology and the structure of contemporary life have taken us away from our emotions as to create pathological conditions and that systemic violence, selfishness and greed in our society need treatement.
