If the United States hadn't fearfully and irrationally quashed this revolution when it started in the 60's we'd know so much more about LSD today. Tons and tons of people have seen promising or beneficial results from LSD, psilocybin, DMT, Salvia, etc. but sheer cultural inertia prevents the obvious benefits of the substances from being taken seriously. It's so unfortunate and maddening to see.

Power will always crush that which is a threat to it. I'm know the U.S. has done many illegal things in it's "War on Drugs" and that it's done plenty of legal but unethical things. From the point of view of those who wielded power the decision to act the way they did was rational. Legal, ethical and rational are all different things.
