LSD: why don't we legalize it? -

are there any adverse effects of LSD? because i have not been able to find any. school and other anti-drug corporations, instead of listing the dangers of LSD, simply say:"it's bad for you". LSD has a 50% success rate for the treatment/cure of alcohol addiction (compared to 10% success rate with AA) and also (according to a study done when LSD was legal), a majority of those who took it claimed to have experienced more positive, happier cognitive shifts. many people (such as the man who thought up the double helix structure of DNA) came up with their ideas while under the influence of LSD. furthermore, LSD is not addictive, has a rapid tolerance build up (keeping people from constantly taking it), and has caused very few deaths. plus, the negative side effects are no worse than a prescription drug: can cause damage to infants during pregnancy and 1 in 500 cases it may cause temporary drug induced psychosis.still: don't the positives outweigh the (few) risks?buckaroo, then you keep people from driving when they're taking the drug. you have a sober person watch over you to keep you from doing bad things. there are many legal things that can cause car crashes. most importantly, when used under the confines of a psychiatrist or doctor, you wouldn't be able to drive or kill someone, they would keep you from doing that.
