Eh this sounds like exactly what was wrong with the early LSD promoters. Psychedelics are the mythical &quot;love bomb&quot;? I do not think the evidence supports that. While I think the world would be far better off if everyone had tried it, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;d stop wars or anything. At best, it might get people to sit up and think a bit, and turn to rationality for explanations.<p>But in real life, seeing as how one&#x27;s predispositions get highlighted with acid, we&#x27;d probably end up with a lot of people thinking they now know the answers. Or that their trip showed them that (Allah|Zeus|Quantum Democracy|Whatever) is the True God and go all nuts on that.<p>Leary and others made up these unsubstantiated claims about the effects of acid and really tried to sell it as something beyond what it is. It&#x27;s a damn awesome molecule that does really nifty shit to brains, and certainly bears plenty of research and use.<p>But to say it can cure cancer? Come the fuck on man. That&#x27;s just new-age heebie jeebie nonsense with no basis in reality. It&#x27;s why a lot of pro-LSD people are simply not taken seriously, because they forget it&#x27;s just a molecule messing with brains&#x27; perceptions.<p>(Unless you meant cure cancer in the &quot;well it made you feel better, and feeling good is important to health so it might give you a better chance against some diseases&quot;, in which case it&#x27;s not much of a claim and certainly shouldn&#x27;t be phrased that way. Hey, Apple products can prevent street crime, because the metal bodies might slow down bullets and make an otherwise fatal shot survivable!)
