I'm not denying how you felt, but how do you know it wasn't a placebo effect?

  What if it was? It's all in our head anyway, so if it was a placebo effect, but a noticeable one for that person, with the trigger being that "I took LSD", then why not? When you're angry, but can calm down or feel happy because of a single thought, that can be called placebo as well, just one thought triggering a whole cascade in your brain. Sure, for life saving drugs, placebos should have no place, but for anything else - why not?

    Because LSD is a potentially harmful drug, especially because it's currently illegal to produce or own. It's a placebo effect that comes with some risk.

      From what I read, it is harmful because it's illegal. Just like countless other drugs. You can't get a high purity sample from an advanced lab and have to trust random chemists who do it illegally. Pure LSD seems to be quite safe. Should probably ban alcohol and tobacco, since they're really risky, and refuse to re-legalize them unless everything else is legalized heh.

  I did a lot of different stuff in my lifetime. I don't expect anything anymore and let things come as they come. I don't claim to always know a placebo but i am 100% certain this was real.
