In the sizties they had over ninety percent success rate with it over periods spanning years. Recent experimentation has only yeilded 58% success and long term succes has to be determined over more time as experimentaiton has just recently started. I am confident that after time we can again achieve the types of success rates they had back then, but it will take time to rediscover the techniques used back then.Studies show that LSD is not addictive. So no not replacing one problem with another. It will take years to relearn what was already discovered back in the sixties and the rates at which it is being experimented with lead me to belive that it will be at least a few years before this is a viable option but there is hope!It was actually LSD used in conjuntion with some sort of suggestivism. I studied it in college, but it was so many years ago most of that info has left my head. If you do not use knowledge you truely lose it.There was a treatment in the sixties that had over 90 percent success rate against alcoholism. Unfortunately our governemt made it illegal. I do not know if it would have worked against other drugs, but maybe it would.
What was that? Antabuse? FYI still legal
and define success rate? How many years of being sober?
The fact is that AA has a high success rate and all it consists of is choosing not to drink anymore.
All addiction is a choice because using and abusing drugs is a choice
I am not sure how long they tracked success rate after the drug was made illegal. I will see if I can hunt up some of those old notes.
Yeah, um, LSD is a drug itself, and a rather dangerous one. I'm thinking replacing one problem with another is not a good plan.
And you still don't know if it was effective.
As I said AA has a pretty good track record with their program and no drugs are needed all one has to do is make the choice to stop drinking and use the vast support network provided by AA
