Haven't tried that in my sobriety. Heh. There's an idea though. No drink in a very, very long time. Don't miss it one bit. It's wonderful! I can just be plain crazy w/o alcohol.

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
A single strong LSD 'trip' can help “break down” alcoholics’ egos and thereby create a spiritual awakening. Clinical trials have proven this to be statistically significant.

Unfortunately the effect for many seems to wear of after 6 months & the alcoholic may return to harmful drinking patterns...but 6 months is 6 months you could be using to become a better you.

Addiction aside, I feel many on GLP could benefit from crucifying their egos.

My mom met someone who did LSD in the past and suffered a lifetime of nightmarish flashbacks. He could barely hold a job as a cab driver.

Anything that alters your brain chemistry to make you drunk or high is killing brain cells to do so. Another study in the news on this just last week.

Prayers for anyone suffering addiction. Please get help and know you are loved.

I'm sorry but that just isn't true. I have and also know people who have tripped several times and never once had a flashback. You would still have to have some of the chemical in your brain to have a flashback.

What your mom's friend has is a mental problem but is isn't from tripping

Sorry, in the 60's there were lots of young people who took too much acid and never came back to the extent that they could function in society, and ended up institutionalized.

People having acid flashbacks long after it left their systems was not uncommon at all.

Maybe the acid is just weaker now.

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
I consider LSD as my ultimate drug for my mind, never tried DMT but lsd is my boy, I know it for sure.

LSD mimics death on higher doses, it is truly the most frightening and wonderful experiences you can get in this world.

LSD makes you way smarter, wakes you up, gives you knowledge but also can take everything from you in matter of seconds, very powerful drug, not a funny drug, nope not at all, I learned it the hard way

If you have not already seen this documentary about the endogenous halucinogen, DMT:



The scientists wanted to try DMT on terminally ill cancer patients because DMT seems to "cure" the fear of dying, but I don't know if they got green light for a study like that.

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
I think most every healthy and mentally sound adult should take a couple of LSD trips.

It truly enables you to perceive reality in an alternative state of the same reality that is the norm.

That is the benefit really. It allows the mind to accept the possibility of alternative perspectives as valid.

the long term benefit is you become more able to understand other peoples perspectives.

You also are shocked by the realization that there are actually other perspectives in life. And they might just be more valid than the ones you hold or held dear all those years.

Very powerful and safe drug.

It just takes a few trips in a lifetime to realize major benefits.

This has been my experience.
please try to tell me the truth...

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
OK religious bigots aside

religious bigots = people who regard or treat other people with different beliefs with intolerance & hatred.

Here is the bottom line:

It has been shown to be statistically significant that heavy drinkers are less likely to relapse when treated with LSD as part of a treatment program.

Nothing more nothing less, do what you will with that information.

No, you will get tired of LSD long before you can become addicted, even psychologically...but while tripping, you can easily drink twice your body weight and not be drunk...but of course I wouldn't know because I don't do drugs...

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
face it if you drink alcohol. you ARE Poisoning your body. Alcohol creates a sub ego within the drinker which tells him HE or she needs the elixir . LSD like was said before give a break into the consciousness and WILL SHOW THE Abuser WHAT THERE BODY LOOKS LIKE from another perspective and liettarlly shows them what kind of mess THEY ARE. there own perception of them selves from inside the counter ego is and always will be distorted . YOU NEED one chemical to break down another simple enough.

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
If you read the text, Alcoholics Anonymous with some degree of comprehension, you will find that the disease of alcoholism is a Spiritual malady.

The only course of action which the alcoholic can depend upon to gain a defense against the first drink, is a Relationship With God. Medical science still has no means to bring about Recovery from alcoholism.

The idea of "treating" alcoholism with any drug or hallucinogen is ludicrous. Of course, there is no money for the medical community in telling their patients they need to put their reliance upon God. No money for the religious community in that advice either, evidently...


Nonetheless, there is RECOVERY from alcoholism. Not an ongoing "recovering" situation; but an immediate and complete recovery. Does this mean the alcoholic can return to drinking "normally"? NO. Why would you desire to? Alcohol, after all, does have the same physiological effects on each drinker; none of them health positive. (If you're gonna cite the positive effects of red wine resins, you can drink Grape Juice.)

The problem the alcoholic has with regard to drinking is being unable to mount a defense against the idea that might arise on occasion, "I can just have one drink, can't I? This time it will be different!" Except it never is. The alcoholic needs God to Enable them to recall why they don't want to take that first drink.


Alopathic medicine and the medical community it has produced through its "medical schools" since the 1920s makes the war dept physicians of Japan and Nazi Germany seem benign.

Re: LSD helps to treat alcoholism ! What do you think?
From the personal experience of a family member, I can share that heavy LSD use as a teenager and young adult (friend was in a travelling, semi-successful rock band in the 1970's), results in permanently changing the brain in terms of serotonin uptake.

The person is 'hooked' on anything that duplicates the 'pleasure'.

This includes future alcohol addiction.

It goes both ways. The alcoholic wants drugs again.

So really, from the level of physiology, there is no difference between intoxicants of any kind.

What is not discussed by the medical literature, of course, are the social, empathic, and spiritual results of 'masturbating your mind' with hallucinogens... which include alcohol, for all intents and purposes.

The only treatment is abstinence, backed by the decision to totally renounce this form of self-destructive behavior.

The 'demon of drink' is very obvious:

- Violence
- Drunk driving (a form of unconscious death-wish/suicide)
- Collapse of inhibitions designed into human beings for self-preservation

So replace it with LSD and what do you have?

No answer is necessary.

LSD can help, not by making you high on something else, but by changing the way you perceive things. You make drink alcohol for fun or you maybe trying to escape reality by using it constantly. LSD can make you see that maybe escaping reality isn't a good idea because reality is a wonderful thing.

LSD will take your mind to the edge of reality and back to tell you or make you realize something monumental that could very well improve your life.
